Description: Communication is the crux of the teaching/learning process for all people. Without proper communication, the learning experience is sorely diminished into a relay of information, instead of a meaningful exchange of ideas between two mutually interested and invested parties. This book provides educators with the means to analyze, develop, and facilitate their communication behaviors and interactions with students, parents, and colleagues. By combining both theory and practical advice, this book focuses on the importance of communication strategies and the means to implement them in a classroom setting. It covers a wide range of classroom communication issues, including interpersonal and small-group communication, listening skills, verbal and non-verbal communication, storytelling, and more. Review of the most current and major research in the fields of both education and communication shows readers how research findings can have a practical influence. Educators, parents, and anyone involved in a classroom setting or learning environment during their professional or personal life.
