Winner’s Cards

Don’t wait until the end of the term to write Winner’s Cards. Winners Cards are short notes to students explicitly tying strengths to achievements and success. Write winners cards for each of your students at three weeks into the term or at mid-term. Our orientation might be to wait until the end of the term. Writing a brief card or note earlier about your observations of the student’s strengths will provide powerful interpersonal motivation for the student to succeed (using their strengths) for the rest of the term. Write them at the end of the semester too.

Creative Strengths

Take tinker toys, pins, straws, marshmallows, and toothpicks to class. Ask students to create a tower, bridge, or “masterpiece” using the objects.  After the creative exercise, discuss the processes that went on during the experience. Tie the process to students’ strengths.

positive attribution with the student’s strengths so that you will have ready access to your notes when you return
papers with comments or write notes or winners cards for your students.

Tips and Tools for Teaching and Student Success with Clifton Strengths.

Strengths Deck

Ask students or team members to fill out a 3×5 card with their name (as they would like to be called in the class) on one side of the card. Ask students to include their Top 5 Signature Themes (or strengths) on the other side of the card. Ask students to note the strength(s) they think will serve them most during your class.This activity does several things:

  • First, it provides a classroom name and strengths deck for you.
  • Second, it requires students to know and link their strengths to your class.
  • And finally, it provides opportunities for future conversations as students’ understanding of their strengths and class content evolve.
