Why? EFLDISC is a simple and powerful tool that makes understanding human behavior and communication needs easy. It provides realistic data that is validated and reliable that helps administrators, teachers and teacher leaders leverage their personal talents and adapt their behaviors to improve results. It isn't the curriculum initiatives and instructional changes that are the barriers to improving student success, it is implementing these things through your people. Learning more about human behavior allows you to tap the full potential of your team.
Take for instance, how do you effectively motivate a teacher described as patient, easy going, unemotional voice, reserved, deliberate and methodical? Here are some EFLDISC-based suggestions:
- Provide warm and sincere compliments
- Express appreciation for loyalty and persistence (these are their things)
- Allow them to collaborate with others as much as possible
- Provide a plan and structure to activities being sure to link any changes with current activities (connect the new with the current)
- Provide clear expectations
- A moderate stable pace is best (with regards to communication and activities)
- Reward consistent, predictable work
