Listening Skills

Modeling good listening skills has been very beneficial with increasing respect among students.

Renata ,
yes it is a very important part of the overall communication process.

Active listening is very important to model and students do gain a sense of respect when they also take part in active listening.

Glenn,
yes, demonstrating that respect & how to properly & effectively listen to one another is a valuable skill.

I feel that gaining the respect of students is the most important aspect of teaching.If you gain the respect, all other aspects seam to come easier and the student becomes more engaged even it the subject matter may not be very interesting to them. It opens the avenue of learning something that they didn't expect to.

chanda,
this is great. Listening is a valuable, yet often overlooked, communication skill in all walks of life.

I make a courageous effort to listen to my students. I am quite good at keeping count of who has a question or concern and eventually during the course of the lesson answering the question. Whether directly or indirectly.

Demonstrating good listening skills in the classroom allows one to let their students know they are valued and respected.

N.,
it is interesting that we want our students to listen well to us, but sometimes we don't model those effective behaviors.
