Contact Psychology Fit

Hi Amanda,

I just stumbled on Psychology Fitness– love your posts. I especially like the Cognitive Psych: 21 Tricks to Improve Memory.

I’m working with two teaching and education books right now that I thought you might be interested in for review:

They cover student personality type and learning style, and will be familiar to you if you’ve taken a Myers-Briggs personality test,

Short descriptions are below. Would you like me to send you copies?

1. Discovering Type with Teens
By Mollie Allen, Claire Hayman, Kay Abella
Discovering Type with Teens

In this era of constant connectedness, but less actual human contact, it’s hard for teens to truly engage. Both with themselves, and with others.

That’s why teen education and personality type experts Mollie Allen, Claire Hayman, and KayAbella have created a primer for bringing personality type into the lives of teenagers. Experienced in using the well-known MBTI® (Myers-Briggs) personality assessment with teens, they’ve seen the way students light up when given the opportunity to learn about themselves – now, they want to provide that experience for others.

A book and CD-ROM full of tips, suggestions, and approaches for mounting a successful “type” workshop or classroom experience, Discovering Type with Teens is applicable to classrooms, church youth groups, or after school programs. By learning about their unique personality “finger print,” teens can learn to listen to their own voices – even as everyone else is telling them what to do.

2. Great Minds Don’t Think Alike!
Success for Students through the Application of Psychological Type in Schools
By Diane Payne and Sondra VanSant
Great Minds Don’t Think Alike

Every day, teachers are faced with a sea of expectant faces – each with a different way of seeing and learning. How can we motivate and empower every one of these young people to reach their highest potential?

In Great Minds Don’t Think Alike, education experts Diane Payne and Sondra VanSant provide the ultimate lesson plan fortransforming classrooms into places where every child becomes engaged in the learning process. Some of our greatest thinkers make illustrative appearances inside, including Einstein, Aristotle, Earhart, and Caldicott, demonstrating a variety of paths to success.

This is an all-age guide to psychological type: Meaning, it will benefit teachers from high school to kindergarten settings. Accompanied by a CD library of reproducible handouts, exercises, and support materials, Great Minds is the go-to primer for creating a differentiated classroom.

Please let me know if you would like copies, or to be connected for an interview.

Thank you!
