Importance Of Collaboration And Communication

Parent Collaboration and Communication Final

Alea Cekalla

After attending the class Professional Collaboration and Communication, I have learned solidly how I want to communicate with families, friends, and co-workers in my future career. With families, I will be sure to respect their values and understand that they might see behaviors differently than I do. I learned this idea from my principal interview and my parent interview that I conducted in the field on October 11th, and November 12th. I’ve learned from these interviews that everyone is different and comes from different backgrounds. I also will take the initiative to put myself in the parent or families shoes when making a final decision. Since I am not a parent, I know I need to

The first step I would take to create a positive environment would be not to complain. As I learned from lecture on September 10th, 2016, a room full of complaining can really affect the way one works.

I believe it’s so important to boost children’s confidence and make them feel welcome. Some children as mentioned by Lambie, 2008 have a rough life at home with a dysfunctional family, I want my classroom to be their home if it has to be.

I will also use positive communication skills to create positive relationships with those inside my classroom or outside the classroom. As mentioned in the Communication PowerPoint from Lecture on December 10th 2016, there are two kinds of conversation, dialogue and debate. For me, the first step into creating a positive environment with those outside of the classroom is to set up your conversation in a way that relates to the dialogue characteristics. It is important to have positive relationships inside your classroom, and outside your classroom. It’s the first
