My Book of Me - Middle/HighSchool: A Guide Book to Help Students Understand Who They Are and How They Learn Best (eBook version)

This guidebook for middle and high school students was created to help students, and those who steward them, better understand who they are and how they learn best - by identifying and understanding their Power Traits - their Dispositions, Modalities, Interests, Talents, and Environment strengths. The creators of this model, Mariaemma Pelullo-Willis, M.S. and Victoria Kindle Hodson, M.A., have found, through their research, that student-centered learning allows all students to have a customized learning experience that leverages their strengths and interests, and accommodates their distinct learning needs. All students thrive when their unique aspirations, gifts, and cultural backgrounds are acknowledged and honored. As a result of student-centered approaches, learners feel understood and safe. When students feel safe, they are better able to learn, to persevere through struggles, and to become lifelong learners. The foundation of this student-centered learning model is the Self-Portrait™ Power Traits Assessment, created by Willis & Hodson, and their book, Discover Your Child's Learning Style. They are also the founders of LearningSuccess™ Institute and Power Traits for Life™ programs.
