Honing Effective Communication in the Classroom, Staff Room, Conference Room, and at Home

1.5 CPDs, Run Time: 58:43

Come learn the communication skills for de-escalating disruptive or crisis situations. Move your interventions earlier to ease misunderstandings and miscommunications. You will learn verbal interventions, non-violent crisis interventions, and the skills of positive discipline to handle challenging situations. Practice implementing some of the tools of effective communication and participate in activities to understand your interactions. These universal skills can be used with the diverse people we interact with every day (co-workers, students, parents, family, board members, etc.).
