Foundation Module DISCovering the Basics
with DISC…
DISC is an acronym that stands for:
Dominance -‐ problems to solve Influence -‐ of people Steadiness -‐ of the space Compliance -‐ to rules and procedures Module I teaches that DISC is an “observable behavior tool” for helping us to understand what drives our personality style.
DISC-‐literate children understand that there are four distinct Behavioral Styles -‐ and what each style’s needs, strengths and motivations are.
No Style is better than the other
DISCovering the Basics
I am a High I and I have learned a lot about myself. High I’s are social and if “us” I’s get rejected then oh no! I am also an S because this score is close to my I. So instead of being verbally mean I like to avoid fighting and when I feel threatened I like to back away slowly and run. I like to flight instead of fight! A.R. 12 years
I am a High C and I always like to get things right. I am not very good at making friends. I hate to get things wrong in front of everybody, so I try to make sure everything is correct! T.L. 12yrs

• Correctly apply terms related to observable behavior, effective communication and leadership skills and virtues of character.

Are we preparing children for their future lives! Fundamentally, each child is a unique individual who needs a safe, compassionate, and stimulating environment in which to grow, develop and mature on all levels of their beingness - emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. Children must be successfully equipped with not only life skills for today, but also for a very different and changing future and environment than what currently exists now.
Education for a lifetime of harmonious relationships and leadership effectiveness requires the development of skills, attitudes and the shaping of character. It is our commitment as Educators of the DISCovering Me Curriculum to support students to develop to their fullest potential in these areas.
