EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

Introducing True Colors to Administrators, Faculty and Staff
An expert True Colors Facilitator introduces administrators, faculty and staff to this interactive, entertaining and easy to remember Personal Success Seminar, providing new tools to understand themselves and work with students. The Personal Success Live Show Event is also an excellent way to introduce True Colors to audiences of 50 or more! 
 
True Colors Certification Training
Selected key teachers and counselors can become certified as Personal Success Seminar Facilitators, who then implement the program internally for students, other teachers and staff.
 
Additional Applications for Faculty & Staff
Teachers who have been certified in selected Additional Applications then facilitate this information to faculty and staff, helping them use True Colors for communication, conflict management, leadership and teambuilding.
 
Online Assessments
Each participant may take an online personality assessment to gain a more complete view of their “color” spectrum. Teachers and counselors can utilize the assessments to become aware of each student’s behavioral, motivational and learning style. Administrators can gain the same knowledge of their staff.
 
Introduce Students to True Colors with a Live Show Event
Bring in True Colors Live Show Events with four actors/facilitators to an assembly of students and staff.  This live show experience is a great way to introduce the program.  It creates an enthusiastic response and always receives rave reviews!
 
Personal Success Seminars for Students
Students receive a more in-depth understanding of True Colors in the Personal Success Seminar, and each gains a new perspective of their own strengths and stressors, as well as those of classmates, family and friends.  Students learn how to use their talents and strengthen their weaknesses. With True Colors materials for each age group, the process is easily understood by all ages. From a coloring book for younger students to our high school book “Flying Your True Colors” we can meet the needs of all grades.
 
Additional Applications for Students

True Colors Programs include Additional Applications to help students communicate more effectively, handle conflict, develop leadership skills and encourage teamwork.

 

Family Support - True Parenting

Parental support is one of the keys to success in schools. True Parenting helps parents to understand their children’s strengths and talents and how to encourage them to perform at their highest standards. Participants learn to create a “Family Rainbow” to better understand how family members interact and relate to each other.

Comments from Educators

“In the past, 30-50% of the students dropped out of our alternative school.  This year, using True Colors, only three kids dropped out of 75 in the program.”
Steve Bridge, Principal, Elma High School, Elma, WA.

“True Colors has been an important tool in relationship building, understanding personalities, recognizing teaching style, motivation and self-esteem, plus the enhancement of communication skills.” 
Dr. Warren Hopkins, Deputy Superintendent of Schools, Arlington WA.

“We use True Colors to help the individual get in touch with each of their strengths.  We ‘stretch’ students’ ability to reach the next level of their achievement.”
Bob Bourgault, Principal, Liberty High School, Paso Robles, CA.

“Teachers quickly grasp and understand the four personality types and temperament styles and carry that knowledge back into their classrooms.  They were able to be proactive and could make more effective and collaborative connections with their students.”  
Dr. Frank Herron, Assistant Superintendent for Red Lion Area School District, Red Lion, PA.

“AISD was thrilled to have the True Colors Live Show. The program was so wonderfully creative and entertaining. …We had so many individuals request more information on the program to take back to their own campuses. …I must admit, having a staff development workshop on a Saturday seemed a little risky, but we had a wonderful turn out and the participants enjoyed themselves. They seemed excited to go home and share the information with their families.”

Tori S. Sisk, M. Ed., Arlington Independent School District


“We recently had the True Colors Players at our Spring Conference, and it was a hit with students and advisors alike. Local actors from the Portland area played the different characters, and all students had the opportunity to discover their “true colors” that the actors put on, and could relate to the different leadership styles.”
Nancy Moen, Executive Director, Oregon Association Student Councils
