- DSPS Communication to Instructional Faculty
In light of the recent developments and directives with COVID 19, we recognize that we are all feeling a little bit outside our element. DSPS Leadership has come together to provide some special considerations and guidance to support you as you plan for a shift to alternative methods of instruction to ensure alignment with ADA/Section 504 & 508 standards. In general, DSPS recommends flexibility with course requirements and consultation with DSPS to help address individual instructional, student service or student needs. Please use these guidelines as you are implementing online format. - Temporary Remote Instruction

Clifton StrengthsFinder
The Clifton StrengthsFinder online assessment measures your talents -- your natural patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving -- and categorizes them into the 34 CliftonStrengths “themes.” This can, in turn, help you and your team identify the areas where you have the greatest potential for building strength.
During this hour-long online assessment, you'll see 177 paired statements and choose which one best describes you. The assessment can help illuminate what people naturally do best, as well as provide insight on how to develop your greatest talents into strengths.
You can use a strengths-based approach to answer questions like:
- How can I improve employee engagement?
- How can I improve employee development?
- How can I coach employees?
Why? Because great things happen when you lead people based on their strengths, instead of only focusing on what's wrong. You can use CliftonStrengths reports and resources to create a culture where engaged teams use a strengths-based approach to accomplish their goals.
