What are Enneagrams?
What are Enneagrams?
Enneagrams are a way of categorizing personalities. There are 9 different enneagram types:
The Reformer
The Helper
The Achiever
The Individualist
The Investigator
The Loyalist
The Enthusiast
The Challenger
The Peacemaker
There are many different tests for identifying personality types, but the the enneagram goes a bit deeper that just our personality. The enneagram that we most commonly identify with helps us understand how we see the world, what drives us, what motivates us, how we behave, and how we feel and manage emotions (in school and in life).

Knowing about your student's personality type can help you open lines of communication if they come to school acting different from their usual selves.
Can be useful in creating seating charts by knowing who they work well with and who might cause them stress (check out the Student Enneagram Worksheet below for this!).
Providing appropriate coping strategies based on their personality type.

Have you ever wanted a magic 8 ball to tell you exactly how to support each student in your classroom? Well while the magic 8 ball would be fun, it doesn’t really give you the insights you need. However, tools such as the enneagram can help you understand yourself and your students. Social awareness is key to a well-managed classroom.
