I find this emphasis on TC a little disheartening.  The authors of this course have decided that this is the model that we need to know for online teaching.  We have little to no visual cues of the students who we teach yet we'll be able to classify them based on dealing with them a handful of hours/week.  I think if I was working a job in a company with a manager and numerous peers/colleagues, I can see this being applied. 

It is interesting to asses which personality traits I possess as well as those of my students and how we will interact in the most effective manner to take full advantage of our virtual setting. 

 

It's interesting to see how each personality trait is unique and how they are all almost juxtaposing one another

 Blue, Gold, and Orange colors of the True Colors personality traits influence student learning in the classroom. By understanding the relationship between a student’s personality and his or her success in the classroom, an instructor can enhance student learning.

Understanding true colors personality traits specifically describes four different ways of perceiving life and according to this how the individual acts. Acknowledging strengths, weaknesses, needs, and stressors helps to understand the person.

In high school, we had done the TC test and found our colors and general descriptions of the traits. However, there was not a break down of strengths, weaknesses, needs and what could differ between one's own perception of themselves versus what others perceive. If we incorporate this, it will good to discuss each color more thoroughly.

I really like the concept of learning our own color to be able to be perceived by students the way we truly intend.

As I read through the true color assessment it is my understanding that we are not all one color type. 

This section definitely did a much better job of defining the color traits so that these concepts no longer seem convoluted to me. All of these personality typing methods must show a measure of flexibility since I do believe that most people don't fall neatly into just one category.

I always felt that to be an effective leader, you must first know thy self.  Understanding what motivates you does not necessarily equate to what would motivate others.  In addition, understanding your weaknesses can help mitigate future stressors. 

By understanding true color personalities , you'll be aware of strengths, weaknesses, and the type of atmosphere people would thrive best in.

The assessment reminds me of psychogeometrics as well.

This lesson can help me to recognize and appreciate the diverse personalities and learning styles of my students, and by applying this knowledge in teaching, I can better tailor my teaching strategies to better meet the individual needs of each student, fostering a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

The true color personality traits are an interesting approach to understanding our teaching styles and also the learning styles of our students. 

We need to remember that though one personally type may be dominant, many may be present. Also, though there are positives for each type, there are challenges as well. Recognizing the challenges in ourselves and helping our students do the same will equate in success for the student.

I learned that the TC personality trait assessment helps individuals understand their strengths, weaknesses, values, and needs through color-coded traits: blue (people-oriented), gold (organized planners), green (logical thinkers), and orange (action-oriented). This understanding enhances self-awareness and helps manage relationships by recognizing personality differences. I intend to apply this by adapting my interactions and teaching methods based on students' traits, fostering better communication, support, and minimizing conflicts.

I find this topic very interesting. My favorite color is blue and all the things mentioned in this topic describe my personality traits. 

I have learned that True Color Personality Traits have their strengths, weaknesses, needs, and stressors. Knowing all of these will help me understand my students' personalities. Every student is special and we should understand their personalities to devise a strategy that suits their needs and interests. Ultimately, they are our top priority, and we must find ways to guide them in achieving their educational goals.
