I would like to learn how to learn communication in professionalism as public speaking.
any suggestions and advices
How can educators help students recognize and identify trusted adults in their school community?
Vicarious trauma is interesting to me. I have never thought about the fact that those who work closely with people who are going through trauma and dealing with trauma can actually be experiencing trauma themselves.
Some of the students that I work with in high school are over 18. They haven't graduated yet, but they are considered adults. Are teachers still required to reposrt situations of students that are in unhealthy situations if they are already 18 years of age?
Reflecting on my learning in verbal and written communication, here’s what I’ve gained and how I plan to bring it into my classroom:
Clarity and Precision: I’ve learned the importance of being clear and precise in both my spoken and written communication. In my classroom, I intend to apply this by using straightforward language in my instructions, feedback, and presentations. I’ll make sure that my expectations and guidelines are communicated in a way that leaves little room for ambiguity, helping students understand exactly what’s required of them.
Active Listening: I’ve realized that effective communication involves truly listening to others. In my teaching, I’ll make it a priority to listen carefully to my students’ questions, concerns, and feedback. By actively engaging with their responses and addressing their individual needs, I can foster a supportive environment that values their input.
Professional Tone: I’ve learned the importance of maintaining a professional tone, especially in written communication, where tone can easily be misinterpreted. I plan to model this for my students by crafting emails, feedback, and announcements that are articulate, respectful, and firm when needed. This will help them understand the impact of tone and how professionalism can enhance clarity and mutual respect.
Adaptability: I’ve found that adjusting my communication style to suit different audiences is crucial. In the classroom, I’ll apply this by varying my communication approach based on the needs of my students. For example, with more complex concepts, I’ll use simpler language or analogies, while with advanced students, I might dive into more technical terminology. This adaptability will help make my lessons accessible to everyone.
Feedback and Encouragement: I’ve learned that constructive feedback should be balanced with encouragement. In my classroom, I intend to provide feedback that highlights both strengths and areas for improvement. By combining constructive criticism with positive reinforcement, I’ll support my students’ growth while building their confidence.
How have any of you integrated IT technologies with learning?
Building teams is essential for humans. Unifying the talents of multiple people into a collective entity can identify issues, collaborate on solutions, and assess how effective the team managed to solve problems.
We learn how to communicate throughout life, as long as we are open to the consequences of good communication and bad communication. To be a better communicator takes practice and time. It takes listening and patience. It takes empathy and vulnerability. Oh, but the rewards! We get better personal relationships, better understanding of peers and colleagues, and a better understanding of oneself
So much of A & P is conducive tasking students open ended "what if" questions. For example: "What if the patient is dehydrated? What IV solution should be administered?"
Incorporating such questions helps the student gain insight into the real-world applicability of the curriculum.
It is very important an an educator that we provide the students with not only the environment that will allow the students to explore and develop their critical thinking skills but we initiate and provide the thought provoking ideas. This means that as the educator we need to utilize the language frequently so that the students can become a custom not only to the meaning of the words but it also triggers additional ways in which those terms can be used to provide thoughts.
