It’s written, tested, and free for educators. Getting It!, Color Code’s new curriculum for secondary school students and teachers, will be made available to all junior high and high schools for the 2013/2014 school year free of the traditional corporate sponsorship requirement.

Getting It! is made up of two fifty-minute units that can be integrated into existing social sciences curricula. Unit 1, Getting Yourself educates the students about why they do what they do and how to build on the strengths and eliminate the weaknesses of their innate personality. Unit 2, Getting Others, provides the students with the skills necessary to develop interpersonal skills and improve critical relationships—specifically with peers, teachers and parents.

We have also prepared a special student output of our personality test which not only educates students on their personality, but contains exercises to reinforce what they have learned about themselves and others as well as careers to consider, study tips for their personality types and more.

Teachers simply fill out one form per class and submit it to a Color Code education representative. They will then receive instructions and teaching materials as well as be assigned codes for each of their students to take the full personality test free of charge. The assessment results of the students will then be populated into an easy to use spreadsheet for classroom use.

You teachers out there know that each year you are presented with a sea of new faces for which you must create connection and meaning. The students behind the faces represent tremendous variety in their personal histories and family cultures.

Even so, to be effective, you must make sense of the students’ individuality as well as create an environment where they can feel included and eager to learn.

Color Code’s powerful, yet easily implemented, new tool not only helps the students identify their own needs and wants, but provides them with insight into the needs and wants of those with whom they are in critical relationships.

Sue Reber, a junior-high-school teacher from Utah, states, “The Color Code helps students to quickly see that we have differences, different motivations, different strengths, different limitations and that it is okay to be different.”

Educators know that their work goes far beyond the classroom and are often eager to make a long-lasting impact with students. We at Color Code are excited about this wonderful new program and it’s ability to help educators do just that.

Here’s to a better tomorrow,
