Key Takeaways

Pairin Personal online allows learners to access personalized lessons based on survey results. Content is presented through interactive reading exercises, and skills are gained through written reflections and activities.
Dashboard allows learners and instructors to measure growth over time.
Curriculum can be accessed by individuals or facilitated by a trained instructor, using aggregate or group data from the survey to guide instruction.
Facilitated curriculum can integrate lessons with sector or academic content. For example, in a lesson on self-confidence where learners are asked to think through assertiveness, body language, and self-talk, instructors can use specific workplace or sector-based examples.
Coaching Pathway course is recommended for teachers, employers, parents — anyone working with learners on the Pairin tools. Coaching makes the assessment data relevant and actionable. It is recommended that personality, interest, and skill self-assessments always be used as advising and coaching tools for greater self-awareness and skill development.
