Educator Strengths

Take the VIA Character Strengths for Adults survey and create an action plan for leveraging your strengths to build better relationships.

Educators often focus on student strengths, but how often have you reflected on your own? Understanding your strengths and how to leverage them for relationship building may help you feel more self-efficacious and contribute to your overall sense of wellbeing. In this activity, you will find out more about your individual strengths and create a plan for using them to build relationships.
