Between Administrators and Teachers 2

Interactions between Administrators and teachers sometimes are really a big issue as it are sometimes makes teachers to act rudely to the administrator, teachers give repulsive attitude towards teaching, even the learners can tell when the teacher is giving her best and when she is not emotionally balance.

An administrator we are dealing with human beings always. In every administrators' office should be a picture of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Between Administrators and Teachers we noticed;

1. Lack of Openness:
Being unnecessarily making discussion brief, encoding information makes a teachers mind travel and ponder over a lot of things - positive and negative. It leads to distrust in the long-run.
Even if you have to be brief, it should not be all the time, at the end of the day, an open  discussion over the issue should take place.
Yes should be Yes, No should be No. An iota of trust is needed to achieve tangible things in every relationship.

2. Lack of enthusiasm:
When an administrator is not enthusiastic about the task to be done or his job as a whole, it is visible to everyone.
There must "life" in every message passed. The message must be passed in a way that will appeal to the particular teacher.

3. Lack of fundamental Knowledge of the task:
Every administrator should know something about everything and everything about one thing which is administration.
We need to be exposed to an intricate part of every subject taught, human relations, communication, etc. If as an administrator we don't know  the exact result of every action, how do we evaluate the job done, how do we know what was right or wrong?

3.Bad Expression:

We need to know the right choice of words to use, watch out for omission of words, incoherent statements, etc can cause break down in communication. We need to be communication experts in written words, spoken words, using Information Technology, using Experience also

4. Individual differences:  Everyone is different in every way possible- thinking pattern, tone of voice, capabilities, listening and communication skills. We need to understand every teacher well enough to how to communcate with them enough to get them to happily carry out a task.

5. Emotional reactions
Our emotional state of mind per time like love, family issues, fear, happiness, sadness, anger, assumptions, etc can affect the message we pass down to our subordinates  and they just wonder what is happening to us and the message we are supposed to pass is ignored. And we assume they will carry out the task, and we end up been disappointed and more unhappy.

6. Personality and appearance of the administrator:

There is always a space for improvement no matter your personality. We just need to identify what more we need to acquire for our teacher to give in their best. Some of us honestly have dirty looks, unpleasant body odour,broaden our knowledge base, fidgeting, unkempt looks, poor pronunciation, typographical errors, past unpleasant issues between teacher, poor logical arrangement, and a lot of others can distort the process of communication.

7.Distractions:
We and the other party we are communicating with, we do get distracted by noise, uncondusive environment, improper social timing, provocative dressing, inadequate illumination, phone calls, etc can affect us when we are talking- the message and the person too.

We actually communicate this... 1

Communication cannot be avoided along as we are on this planet EARTH and we are breathing, we will always communicate with human beings always ..... When conversing with people,agreeing o na matter,exchanging ideas, talking about any topic, discussing, we also pass other messages through our :

BODY LANGUAGES: 

Smiles are mentally driven, it conveys interest and trust. Fake smiles stand out as such and act as a red light and to your smile add direct eye contact, open hands and arms, full-body supports, positive facial expression.

Learn to understand and interpret people’s body language, use your intuition also.

LISTENING :

“The  Lord gave us two ears and one mouth  so that we would listen at last twice as we talk”. Effective listening is hard work, it takes much more energy and concentration to listen it does to talk. Some people tend to listen with their hearts; others tend to depend on their reasoning. These are basic ways people listen:
a) Passive listening

b) Active listening

c) Judgmental listening

d) Nonjudgmental listening.

             Learn to ask the right question at the right time, carefully observe the other party’s body language, and listen till you understand the other party’s position, don’t rush to give a response, be positive and have fun. It helps to build trust.

 

THE SPOKEN WORDS: 

It is commonly used, rated least effective or dependable of all tools – the way they are used and interpreted. People do these:
a) Half listen and draw the wrong conclusions

b) Hear what they want to hear and forget the rest

c) Misinterpret the words

d) Simply ignore the message

e) Remember part of the message; you can never really be sure what conclusions reside in the other party.
It can be a Person-To-Person Direct contact or Indirect Person-To-Person contact - Telephone conversation or the Spoken words to Group or Large Audience.

To get the best out of this tool:
a) Always start with a well thought-out objective

b) Be sure to present your message in understandable terms

c) Pick your setting (place & environment) to deliver important messages

d) Establish common ground – interest areas of the listener

e) Pay attention to intent as well as to spoken words

f) Show that you care and can be trusted

g) Avoid conflicts and confrontations.
