Information discuused and empathy for students

Often times, I will do an oral explanation of all required documents needed and going over our school program dynamic. With the student base being very culturally diverse, often times communication is not clear or I have to repeat myself. It can become difficult when trying to explain. So we try to say it orally, and then email it to document what was said and to reinforce our intent to the student. For a third time, we will discuss it on orientation. This eventually confirms and seals all information needed for the student to succeed here.

Active Listening

Active listening is so important when engaging with anyone, by listening to understand, and comprehend.  I find myself at times being on mute so I can allow the other person to say what they need to say so I do not interrupt them. Many times, I take notes so I can revisit their comments or statements with questions. This learning has been very insightful and allowed me to see how far I have come with my active listening skills in general.
