  • “Profile gives us clues for understanding our students’ learning styles. By understanding profiles, you can really see how your students express their unique and wonderful personalities.”



    Today, Ellen answers the question,

    “How does knowing the Quantum Human Design profile of your students help you understand how they interact with others?”

    The Teaching Students by Design program helps educators move out of the paradigm of an education system that doesn’t always work and has a one-size-fits-all approach for its students. In episode 3 of this season, we discussed an overview of energy types in Quantum Human Design, which helps educators move away from the one-size-fits-all approach to seeing their students in 5 different energetic areas. From there, we’ve seen ways to understand your students even more uniquely by discussing strategy, emotional theme, and authority. Today, Ellen discusses profiles, the final Quantum Human Design concept for this season. By using all these tools together, we can continue to see our students as unique and amazing individuals along with understanding them as they truly are.

  • “Authority never overrides strategy, but it helps students be more in alignment with their energetic needs.”

    Today, Ellen answers the question,

    “How does authority support strategy?”

    Just as with Quantum Human Design strategy and emotional themes, every person has their own, unique authority. Authority varies between energy types and is based on one’s personal Human Design chart. By knowing your students’ authority, you can really help them tune into the signals that are coming from their bodies. When used in conjunction with an understanding of your students’ type, strategy, and emotional theme, authority will really help you develop a picture of your students’ energetic needs.

  • “One of the biggest shifts for me was to realize that I feel my emotional theme, but I'm not the emotion, I'm not my emotions. I feel my emotions.”

    Today, Ellen answers the question,

    What is emotional theme in Quantum Human Design and how does it help you know when your students are not getting their energy needs met?

    We've talked in the last couple of sessions about each of the five types in Quantum Human Design, how energy works for each type, and what their specific strategy is to navigate and operate through the world.

    Each type also has a specific emotional theme. This emotional theme can be used as a signal to see when something isn't quite right for your students. These emotional themes are helpful in seeing why strategy is so important. If your students are experiencing a lot of these emotions, it's a sign that they're not getting their energy needs met and it’s time to focus on their strategy.

    How do you help your students find ways to get their energy needs met? Keep listening to find out!

  • “Everyone needs to have waiting as a part of their decision-making process. When you wait and you are not spontaneous in your decision-making, you can navigate through life in a much easier and more in the flow way.”

    Today, Ellen answers the question,

    How does strategy help students understand how they operate energetically in the world?

    Last time we talked about the five different energy types and how each type has a different role in the world and way of interacting with others. Each type also has a different strategy that helps them make decisions that are in alignment with the correct people and experiences. In this episode, Ellen uses a wonderful analogy of a stage performance to help explain how each type brings a unique role and perspective to the world. The strategy helps guide each type to best play out their role in the world and the cosmic plan.

  • “Each one of us has our own, unique, hardwiring for how we interact in the world.”

    Today, Ellen answers the question,

    What are energy types?



    Every person has their own, unique, energetic blueprint. In Quantum Human Design, this blueprint is called a body graph. The body graph is the first step in understanding energy types and tuning into how to meet and guide your student’s energy needs. Today, Ellen breaks down and explains the five energy types in Quantum Human Design. In addition to classic explanations of energy types, Ellen makes these explanations very accessible to students as well as to educators by comparing each energy type to a specific animal. Even if you are not a teacher, this explanation is a powerful way of understanding a huge part of the groundwork of Quantum Human Design!

  • Today, Ellen answers the question,

    Why teach students by design?

    When Ellen left teaching in 2013, she started to recognize that one of the problems many educators face is not understanding why children misbehave. It’s generally not because of any of the reasons we tend to believe, like their upbringing, ADHD, their neediness, their clinginess, or a myriad of other reasons we assign to them.

    The real reason they misbehave is because they're not getting their energy needs met.

    Every child has their own, unique, energetic needs. What can we do to meet the energy needs of students? We can use a tool called Quantum Human Design to better understand those needs and provide an education that is more in alignment with their natural way of being.

    By Teaching Students by Design, educators will be able to help students to be more aligned with who they are and, by being aligned with who they are, it's going to change the world.

    The mission with the Teaching Students by Design program is to guide educators to transform how students are educated, and help all parties reach their fullest potential, knowing that when each of us is being our unique and authentic self, the world is a more sustainable, compassionate, peaceful, and loving place.
