My sister Carmalita demonstrates competent
communication as a classroom teacher giving strategies to help children be
successful in their course work in the classroom. The behaviors I see Carmalita display when teaching are
practicing good eye contact, when a student has lost their attention instead of
singling them out she goes and stands near the child. After demonstrating what she wants children to learn, she
allows them to explain what they got from the teaching. I would want to model my own
communication behaviors after Carmalita.
I believe it is important to respect children learning and the amount of
information children are able to take in.
I believe by asking children to explain what they took in from the
teaching validates their individual learning.
Audrey you are so right, eye contact and physical presence are vital to keeping good communication with children. How lucky you are to have a sister to model after.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacie,
ReplyDeleteI believe my sister has helped me a lot since I was a teachers aide for 18, years and now going on 5 years of teaching. I continue to learn from her in so many ways.
Audrey,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see another teacher communicating so well with her teachers. Sometimes teachers forget that the children they teach are people too. We have to show them respect in order to receive respect.
Audrey:
ReplyDeleteI loved how you chose your sister--and she's a teacher. My sister in law was the person that has great communication in my life--and she used to be a teacher! I loved how you mentioned how important it is to respect children. Great post!
