Come share your experiences in this interactive, dynamic course! Through role-play, communication-building activities, and thoughtful discussion, we will analyze and evaluate the impact of interpersonal communication in an educator’s world. Teachers in the 21st Century are held accountable at an increasingly higher rate than they ever were before. The advent of digital technology has made teachers accessible around the clock, which poses further challenges for interactions with students, families and staff. Furthermore, the nature of technology takes away from the personal connection that in-person communication has always ensured. This class will be a study of the dynamics of interpersonal communication including teacher: student, teacher: parents, teacher: teacher/administrator. Emphasis will be placed on appropriate, efficient and professional face-to-face, phone and digital communication.
