Harnessing Strengths


At Collins Career Technical Center, we are proud to be a pilot district for the East Central Ohio Educational Service Center's (ECOESC) Ohio Strengths Collaborative. This initiative, focused on implementing the CliftonStrengths assessment with our students and staff, aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering individual potential. We aim to focus on what is strong rather than what is wrong.

What are CliftonStrengths?

The Clifton Strengths assessment is a powerful tool that helps individuals discover their unique strengths and talents. By identifying these key strengths, our students and staff are not just guided, but truly empowered to apply their natural abilities in both academic and professional settings. This strengths-based approach encourages personal development, collaboration, and engagement in a way that promotes success for everyone.

Ohio Strengths Collaborative: A Pilot District

As a pilot district for the ECOESC, we are collaborating with other educational leaders to integrate CliftonStrengths across multiple levels of education. Our involvement in the Ohio Strengths Collaborative gives us access to tools, resources, and support to further develop a strengths-based learning environment. This collaboration enhances our student and staff professional development approach, ensuring a cohesive, strengths-focused community.

Building a Strengths-Based Culture

At Collins Career Technical Center, we believe in nurturing the strengths of every individual. Our focus on strengths, rather than weaknesses, not only encourages students to recognize their natural talents and leverage them to succeed, but also shapes a culture of positivity and growth. This strengths-based approach is not just a method, but a philosophy that is transforming our community.
