TEACHING IS COMMUNICATION. Developing Positive Communication Skills For Teachers

Communication lies at the heart of teaching. It's not merely the act of speaking. It encompasses a spectrum of skills vital for effective interaction. Understanding what, when, and how to articulate thoughts, coupled with perceptive listening, body language, cultural awareness, and social proficiency, forms the cornerstone of impactful communication.

Description

In the realm of effective communication, listening holds precedence over speech. Those who talk incessantly without pausing to listen often lack the true essence of communication. Recognizing the duality inherent in every interaction is crucial. A successful communication strategy depends on receiving feedback from the recipient, emphasizing active listening as a pivotal component.

Within the classroom, communication takes on multifaceted nuances. Teachers must grasp the unique dynamics and roles of classroom communication. Employing adept communication strategies can bridge gaps between teachers and parents, elevate a teacher’s effectiveness, and even shape stronger connections when working with students facing learning challenges.

Yet, effective communication strategies transcend classroom boundaries and extend to interactions with parents.

Learning objectives

Cultivating diverse communication styles within teaching methodologies
Integrating traditional teaching approaches with contemporary communication methods, enriched by Non-Formal Education and Positive Psychology
Strengthening relationships among educators, school administrators, students, and parents within the school environment
Infusing teaching with dynamism and appeal through innovative communication styles bolstered by technological tools
Enhancing lesson plans by embracing a new communicative approach.

Methodology & assessment

Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

JUMP provides, after the completion of the course, all presentations, training materials and any other digital and learning tools used during the training sessions. Furthermore, extra materials are sent if there are updates and new ones researched afterwards.

At the end of the training, JUMP issues a formal certificate of attendance, and the team is available to complete the Europass certification document according to the EU template and other documents required for reporting by the sending organization.
