THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR
TEACHERS

1.Teachers need to teach individual or in groups:

A teacher needs to have good listening skills to know where his or her
student stands and what is that he or she needs to focus on. While
explaining a topic to a student a teacher needs to be clear and precise. You
cannot jumble up the topic, confusing your students as well as yourself
making it difficult for the student to grasp what you are saying. You need to
adapt the style of the individual student so that you can ensure that every
student’s weak area is addressed. A skilled communicator teacher can turn a
boring subject into an interesting one by their good ​presentation skills​.
2. Teachers need to be caring in their communication:

A good teacher will always show compassion and care towards


their students with words or body language. They work with the
students to ensure they excel in whatever they do and continuously
encourage them to do better. They get to know the students
personally by making sure that they address them by their names.
They understand their​ fear and confusion​ and are there to counsel
them if needed. They celebrate the success of their students in their
own way to let them know that they are proud of them
3. Teachers need to communicate to the parents in a sensitive and
effective way:

An important part of a teacher’s job is to ensure that they have


communicated the progress of their kin in writing as well as in
meeting. A parent would always like to hear the truth, but how a
teacher says it means a lot. A positive feedback to the parents give
them the confidence, to do better but at the same time a negative
feedback has to be shared. The way you share your negative feed is
where a teacher’s communication skill gets tested. A complaint should
be shared with the respective parent appropriately, on time and should
be precise
4. Interacting with colleagues and supervisors is the key:

Teaching a class is not an individual effort. You need to discuss


and find out the best possible ways to teach a topic in an effective
way. A school always encourages the teachers to sit together and
devise an appropriate teaching technique by sharing ideas. As a
teacher, you need to be aware of the changes in the educational
system and attend or conduct seminars to ensure that everyone is
on the same page. You need to listen, read, discuss and come up
with excellent teaching techniques to ensure that your school does
well
