As a team, there are many goals set in order to succeed. On this team we have many different characteristics and the best way to incorporate all these characteristics is to develop a plan that will address most if not all of the characteristics of learning team A.

Those four are dominance, interactive, steadiness, and cautious, hence the DISC. Learning Team A Currently has six members, but it seems only 5 have been involved in the classroom activities. Of the five who have been involved we had 3 with the IC behavioral style, including myself.

We had two who were dominant (D) and have characteristics of being a driven self-starter.
