DiSC
DiSC is an acronym that stands for the four main personality profiles described in the DiSC model: (D)ominance, (i)nfluence, (S)teadiness and (C)onscientiousness.
DiSC is a personal assessment tool to help improve teamwork, communication and productivity in the workplace; to improve communication and understanding between team members, turn conflict into a positive productive exercise that helps the organisation move forward boldly and to connect on a human level, seeing each other ka nohi ki te ka nohi.
Belbin ‘Team Role’
A Belbin 'Team Role' is one of nine clusters of behavioural attributes identified by Dr Meredith Belbin's research. The research indicated that the most successful teams were made up of a diverse mix of behaviours. Each team needs access to each of the nine Belbin Team Role behaviours to become a high-performing team.
Working with the Belbin team roles helps to identify behavioural strengths and weaknesses in the workplace, whether developing people, resolving conflict or fine-tuning high performances, Belbin Team Role Reports provide the language to ensure that individuals and teams communicate and work together with greater understanding.
Ofman's Core Quadrant Theory
Ofman's Core Quadrant Theory has been developed by Daniel Ofman in the mid-nineties. According to him, each person possesses positive qualities. Being aware of them allows you to strengthen them and be empowered. Ofman's theory offers a method to identify and reinforce each individual's positive characteristics.
The goal of this tool is to introduce the core quadrant model to clients to help them identify personal core qualities and allow them to see how the overuse and underuse of these qualities can influence their interactions with others.
DDS-scan
The DDS-scan was developed by Bart van Luijk in 1981, in order to recognise types of behaviour, saying the behaviour is a combination of communication characteristics. You can broadly distinguish three different types of behaviour: Dominant, Distant, and Social (DDS).
Working with the DDS-scan gives the participant the skills to recognise behaviour and adjust his communicative approach accordingly.
APC
APC Stands for:
A = Aggression assessment
P = Professional attitude
C = Communication skills
A methodology aimed at preventing and dealing with aggression. The APC method is based on mutual respect and a transparent approach to all those involved.
Working with the APC method trains the participant in their professional attitudes such as negotiation, neutrality, connecting, win-win, empowerment and pro-activity.
Leary’s Rose
In order to clarify human behaviour and the interaction between people, Timothy Leary developed a communication model named Leary’s Rose, based on the horizontal and vertical axis, focussing on relationships and attitude.
“Behaviour can be predicted, to a certain extent, which is what the model is all about.
It’s clear that some behaviour evokes other sets of behaviour.
The way in which a reaction is given can therefore be predicted and also influenced.”
Training with Leary’s Rose teaches the participant to analyse certain behaviour, to understand the other person and provoke certain desired behaviour from the other.

Different types of highly intelligence

Bloom’s Taxonomie 1956
A method that is often used when developing educational materials for the highly intelligent is Bloom's Taxonomy (1956). Bloom pleads for education with 'high order thinking'. He orders learning goals not by content but by the way of thinking. The educational materials focus on divergent thinking (creative thinking, evaluating, analysing), in which several answers can be correct. Questions focus on new insights and discoveries that had not yet been given in the original information. A way of thinking that’s more complex (not to be confused with more difficult), and hard work (not “a lot of learning”).
Carol Dweck 2011
Carol Dweck is one of the world's leading researchers on motivation and mindsets. She developed the concept of ‘the growth mindset’. A growth mindset, Dweck asserts, empowers people to believe they can develop their abilities — brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and resilience that are essential for accomplishment in just about any sphere. Many schools and educators, and so do we, use Dweck theories to get informed on how we teach students and how to communicate the learning process with our students.
Kübler-Ross
Kugler-Ross Grief Cycle, is a model designed by Swiss psychologist Elizabeth Kübler-Ross showcasing the five stages of grief processing.
“One does not automatically move from phase to phase.
It is common to return to a phase or skip one.
In some other cases, the phases seem to have taken on completely different order.”
The goal of training with the Kübler-Ross theory is to recognise behaviours associated with the five stages of grief processing, to be able to provide appropriate help.
