The Power of Open Communication in the Classroom

In creating technical success for students, dialogues can be a powerful tool. Try to hold at least half a minute of conversation with each of your students.

Create a style of dialogues on which your students can learn and understand that when you wanted to communicate with them, they will know. For instance, saying “hello,” and asking how I was doing can be a start of a dialogue with them.

Expect and encourage proper eye contact to be maintained throughout the exchange. Emphasize why eye contact is important when talking to someone. That is shows respect and sincerity. If something is bothering the student, you can usually tell by his body language during this short conversation. You can discuss it during the chat or at a time later.

By spending a mere 30 seconds with each student, you can help set students up for success during the school day and beyond. Create an environment where, no matter what the dialogue, students begin their day feeling important and heard. Students get the added bonus of being exposed to, gaining practice in, and developing a tendency towards common courtesy.

For teachers who only perform their job teaching math, science, social studies, and language arts without the extra effort required? They do not feel the need to ask her student how they are doing.

This teacher may actually find it harder to do her job. Students who feel that the teacher cares about them become personally invested in pleasing the teacher.

Students who don’t have a relationship with their teacher may not care about their academic performance, which can have negative long lasting effects. It is the teacher’s job to create a friendly and caring atmosphere, for if she does not, she may find that her students don’t perform well academically or may not show up to class; the ultimate “technical failure.”

Learning to Listen is very important to demonstrate the power and value of love and acceptance when it comes to educating children.

It also plays a significant role for child’s academic success and on how to deal with his/her environment. It establish good and positive relationship that help the learners to feel more comfortable and safe in their learning place.

Spend time in talking and listening to your student’s personal stories. Encourage them to share their experiences at home. Allow them to talk and tell something about their favorites. Recall some important events that happened in their lives.

During free hours, always find time to talk with them. Simple conversation will help them to express themselves, feel better and develop also their communication skills. Prepare a classroom atmosphere where all learners can express freely their thoughts and feelings that creates a total positive experience.
