Teachers can Win with Soft Skills & Communication Skills
Most of the brilliant teachers are working for very less salaries in small private schools. In fact they are very good at their subject. They have great love and affection towards the teaching profession.
Why are they stuck in their career?
Why are they not getting good salaries?
The reason is very obvious. Because of lack of Fluency in English they are stuck in their career. It is observed that they have conditioned their minds that English is very difficult and it is not that easy to speak English fluently.
Fortunately at Royal Soft Skills Campus, we have a solution for all this problems. Our philosophy is that lack of English is not a language related problem, it is purely psychological problem, a phobia sort of problem.
Because of this phobia most of the brilliant teachers are working in small schools with less salaries and they are making their life miserable.
Importance
of Soft Skills & Communication Skills for Teachers
Communication skills are important for many professions but
are crucial for teachers. Teachers communicate with students, parents,
colleagues and administrators every day. Whether communicated face-to-face, on
the phone, in print, electronically or through the public address system, the
message must be constructed carefully and delivered clearly to be properly
received. When it comes to written communication good handwriting, spelling and
grammar are very important in all forms of written communication.
Helping Students
Communication skills involve listening as well
as speaking. Teachers who listen attentively to their students' questions and
complaints are better equipped to meet individual needs and adjust lessons
where necessary. Students are also more likely to be receptive when the
teacher's body language and tone of voice indicate openness and encouragement.
Appropriate use of audio-visual aids also can enhance presentations and make
them easier for students to follow.
Dealing With Parents
Teachers should communicate frequently with
parents and not wait for scheduled parent-teacher interviews. Reporting good
news regularly strengthens the teacher-parent relationship and makes it easier
for the parent to hear bad news when necessary. Teachers who are good
communicators can share negative reports about students tactfully and without
suggesting blame and also state their message clearly enough so the parents
understand the concern. Skillfully delivered communication can earn respect
from the parents and support for working together toward a positive outcome.
Working With Colleagues
Although
teachers spend most of their working day surrounded by 20 or more students,
they often become flustered when speaking in front of their colleagues at staff
meetings or conferences. Communication skills improve with practice, and
preparing in advance what to say also helps. Taking a leadership role with
other teachers in the school by chairing or co-chairing a committee provides
the opportunity to enhance these skills. Communicating with colleagues in this
way may be very rewarding and personally fulfilling. It also shows initiative,
which can lead to advancement or promotion.
Interacting With Administrators
Teachers
who are skillful communicators have a better chance of being heard by
administrators when making a request, such as for a transfer, special leave or
permission for a student event or field trip. Good communicators clearly state
the reasons for their request, anticipate possible counter-arguments and are
prepared to refute them. They control their emotions, don't lose their tempers
and always behave in a professional manner, even in disappointing or
frustrating situations. Administrators who recognize such efforts are more
receptive to granting a positive response to teacher requests.
