EP123 Gretchen Rubin on how teachers can use the 4 tendencies to help students (and themselves) to meet goals & expectations

Published: March 18, 2018, 4 p.m.

I\\u2019m talking today with New York Times best-selling author Gretchen Rubin. I\\u2019ve learned so much from Gretchen\'s research on happiness from her book The Happiness Project, and I\\u2019ve studied her work on habits from the book Better Than Before. Gretchen\\u2019s latest book is called The 4 Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People\'s Lives Better, Too).

I invited her on the show because the four tendencies are not just another personality type: They\\u2019re about how people tend to respond to and meet expectations. When I first heard about the tendencies, I immediately saw the application to our work in the classroom, because it\\u2019s such a challenge to figure out how to get students to meet expectations.\\xa0

Listen in as Gretchen and I talk about understanding students\\u2019 tendencies \\u2014 as well as our own \\u2014 so we can be more productive and accomplish the things that really matter.
