StudentKeys Review

September 13, 2013 By Jennifer Lambert Leave a Comment

I reviewed the StudentKeys Student Binder by PeopleKeys with Elizabeth. It’s been a blessing and it’s continuing to bless our family as we learn to communicate better for each different personality.

 photo peoplekeys-logo_zpse1faa0a6.jpg  photo peoplekeys-studentbinder_zpsfbfc0afc.jpgPeopleKeys uses a DISC system that corresponds to four personalities. People fall into categories with a dominant and secondary, and perhaps a close tertiary point.

Liz really thought this was great. She took the quizzes out loud, with me. So I got nothing done since she demanded my undivided attention. It was ok. It was good mama-daughter bonding time.

personality

   

Liz is ID and I am DC. She also guessed what her siblings and dad are. I think she’s pretty spot on.

I=Influencing, Inspiring, Impulsive. {people-oriented and active role}

D=Dominant, Determined, Driver {task-oriented and active role}

C=Compliant, Cautious, Correct {task-oriented and passive role}

[and S=Steady, Supportive, Stable cuz I know you were dying to know! It’s people-oriented and passive role.]

After she determined her personality type, she read about her traits. And then she read mine. And then we laughed at each other.

comparing personality traits

As she completed the learning and thinking styles booklets, we discussed how she is successful with her school work and how she doesn’t succeed at some aspects. We discussed how we could make changes and how she needs to challenge herself.

The overview lists general traits, strengths, limitations, fears, motivations, and ideal environments. I think these are highly accurate and I love their chart format. Liz found it very easy to comprehend and it was really fun to talk about together. Then there are charts with General, Relationships, and School/Work. Those breakdowns are interesting and it has two columns at the top: admire/drive others crazy. Love!

Of course, being the mom and a teacher and a realist, I want her to understand that just because her ideal environment is “few conflicts” and “freedom from controls” doesn’t mean she’s an adult and doesn’t have to follow my rules and deadlines for schoolwork.

Since we are both D, we often butt heads, but I also understand her motivators, fears, strengths, etc., because they are also my own.

I just need to remember to offer grace and love her and accept her because this is who she is and it’s not always just defiance. She’s also an I, which is very different. She’s very outgoing and social and this I don’t understand, but I want her to succeed here and learn healthy relationships.

There are also worksheets where we can notebook about communication role playing with different personality types. Love!

This workbook divides learning into kinesthetic, visual, and auditory. According to this, Liz is a kinesthetic visual learner. I know this. The learning tips are great for our homeschool success. Several glorious pages explain how each learner learns best. And then there are notebooking pages to help Liz understand all this. And we discussed our homeschool and her siblings and how we all learn and I did not learn well in school because they don’t adapt learning much. There’s even a teaching style worksheet! Great for homeschool parents!

Cognitive Thinking Styles are the acronym LITE.

Liz is Literal Intuitive. I feel this may not be completely accurate, but may play out better as she grows up. Learning about thinking is super fun. Two pages describe in detail each type.

When we discussed some of my DC traits, Liz made fun of me! This is Liz’s impersonation of me, blogging. She says I sit at the keyboard, even when I don’t feel well and should be resting, or cleaning, or teaching, or doing something more productive. Isn’t she hilarious?

Knowing strengths and weaknesses are important for the future, for education, goals, career choices.
 
Liz is already learning how to be a leader with Civil Air Patrol. Being metacognitive and self-aware will help her be more successful in her relationships.
 
The lessons she’s learning in the StudentKeys are great to get her started to being a successful leader and student. Perfect timing!

On Epiphany day,      we are still the people On Epiphany day,     we are still the people walking.     We are still people in the dark,          and the darkness looms large around us,          beset as we are by fear,                                        anxiety,                                        brutality,                                        violence,                                        loss —          a dozen alienations that we cannot manage.We are — we could be — people of your light.     So we pray for the light of your glorious presence          as we wait for your appearing;     we pray for the light of your wondrous grace          as we exhaust our coping capacity;     we pray for your gift of newness that          will override our weariness;     we pray that we may see and know and hear and trust          in your good rule.That we may have energy, courage, and freedom to enact         your rule through the demands of this day.         We submit our day to you and to your rule, with deep joy and high hope.W.
