The personality color test is an amazing tool (not created by me) that allows teacher and student insight into the personality nuances of students. The attached document includes the test, but also includes analysis questions so students can analyze the color that they get. Colors can help teachers make homogenous and heterogenous groupings. Read the implementation guide on page 1 for successful execution. Enjoy!*Note: Preview pdf has an expired link, but the actual document has a link that work

Respect Presentation

Created by

Bree Lowry

This presentation teaches students about the need for respect toward others and requires them to spend some time thinking and writing about what respect means and whether they consider themselves respectful. To be honest, I did this lesson with my 9th graders after they were extremely disrespectful to my substitute! Therefore, if you want to use it only for character education (and not discipline), you may want to lessen the amount students have to write at the end!
