Training Description:
Do some teachers seem to develop close home-school relationships and others struggle to connect? Most administrators understand the importance of active listening. On the other hand, teachers are taught to talk, to present, and to inform.

Come to this session and learn seven simple strategies that you can use to identify and improve the interpersonal communication skills of your staff.
