As I continue on my journey through this course I am excited and thrilled with what I have learned so far and will continue to learn. In this course we are learning about effective communication and need pick someone that shows effective communication skills.
As soon as I read this assignment the first person that came to mind was a colleague of mine. Her name is Amy and she has been a Kindergarten teacher for 17 years. She is my mentor at school and I don't know if I would have survived my first year with out her. She has built such a rapport with her students, colleagues, parents and administrators. She is a true leader. She follows the Love and Logic model in her classroom and in her life and it looks like is comes so naturally to her. She takes on many roles in the education system, and helps anyone who needs it. She is loyal, honest, has an amazing work ethic, is supportive, and firm all at the same time.
I do try to model my communication skills after Amy and have even taken Love and Logic classes. I feel that I have pretty good communication skills, but the way she is with everyone is inspiring. I also know that I have only been teaching for 5 years and hopefully with the help of this class and more experience I will get to the level of communication that Amy has with people.
Rachael,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Amy is a great mentor and someone who you should model your own communication skills after. She sounds like an inspiring person and her students, colleagues, administrators, and parents all benefit from her communication skills.
Thank you for sharing
Hi Rachael,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post! Your mentor Amy sounds like an interesting person because she seems to care and love people for who their disposition. I know many people who seem to have that natural ability to charm. For some reason of another people just fall in love with them I believe it is a gift.
What a great post and observation you did this week. I have never seen this show so I am not sure how the plot goes, but you did a great job walking us through it.
