Role of Teachers as Effective Communicators

Abstract

Schools are complex, dynamic systems in nature. They require effective communication to meet the diverse needs of its stakeholders. Communication is important to maintain healthy relationships with the students, faculty, and parents. Establishing effective communication practices in a school requires understanding the characteristics of communication, including the benefits and common barriers. The three critical components of effective communication viz., trust, transparency, and active listening build the relationship necessary to engage in effective conversations.
