The Teacher Support Languages Quiz is about communication and expectations - not someone’s specific attitude or habits - and was designed specifically for educators (as you will see as soon as you read even the first question :))

Schools are some of the most complex organizations in the world and running them is not easy.  Like teaching in the classroom, leading a school requires endless hours and constant triaging of priorities.  Unfortunately, this lack of capacity often leads to school leaders having to sacrifice teacher support for other “fires” that pop up each and every day (just like in the classroom).  

The Teacher Support Languages Quiz allows leaders to better understand the different types of needs and preferences across their staff so they and their coaches can provide focused and differentiated support in the limited time available.

Use our debriefing activities!  If you connect with us, we also provide a report that includes tips and recommendations based on the results of the TSL Quiz and as a way to illustrate what leveraging this new information could look like.  

However, we do stress that neither the results nor the recommendations should ever be used in HR-related decisions nor should they be viewed as “prescriptive” in any way.  

Ultimately, the results of the Teacher Support Languages Quiz provides a fresh foundation on which to communicate with your teachers and build a culture of support and success at your school.
