Description
Communication for the Classroom Teacher provides prospective and in-service teachers with the skills and knowledge to develop, understand, and improve their own communication behavior and that of their students.
By combining both theory and practical advice, this text focuses on why to use certain communication strategies and how to implement them. Communication for the Classroom Teacher covers a wide range of classroom communication issues, including interpersonal and small group communication, listening skills, verbal and nonverbal communication (from both the teacher's and the student's perspective), storytelling, and teacher influence in the classroom.
