Ensure Your Child's Teacher is the Right Fit

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kidzmet for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I will take advantage of any tool that will help my children thrive-especially if that tool is FREE.

Kidzmet is a free online service with the following mission: “To help kids discover who they were
born to become by connecting quality enrichment teachers, tutors and coaches with the students they were meant to teach.”

Kidzmet will develop a Pairing Portrait for each child that identifies:
*Cognitive style
*Personality type
*Multiple Intelligences
*recommended teaching approach
I wanted this tool for each of my children, so I sat down with each one and took the online pairing portrait questionnaire. (See a sample -http://kidzmet.com/img/screen-captures/pairing-portrait.png).  It only took about 10 minutes per child and it was even kind of fun.
Here’s some sample results:

 It's the time of year when school administrations across the country are planning class mixes for the 2011-2012 school year.  I can e-mail the pairing portrait.  information to my child’s principal or guidance counselor to help them identify they right teacher for my child.
So check out http://www.kidzmet.com/ to
