Myself as a Communicator
As a communicator I evaluated myself as an open communicator. I like to give praise to my students and parents. Some time I give criticism and I have to do this in a nice way so that I do not hurt anyone feelings. You want the person to grow from the criticism not lower their self esteem. I see myself as a person who is willing to share my knowledge.
Most of my co-workers always say that I am the person who likes to keep peace and find ways to make things work out. What surprise me is to learn that I am a good informational listener. My supervisor let me know she notice that I seek to get the understanding of everything when we are in group meetings. I did not think that she noticing me, but we met individual and she told me this information.
This week I learn that we must listen to each other to reduce stress in the classroom and with the parents.

Machelle,
It is so important that early childhood educators praise their students and give helpful criticism when necessary. I think sometimes criticisms can be misinterpreted as insults, because the other person may not understand that you are trying to help him or her. Thus, it is not what we say, but how we say it. Great post!
Machelle,
Thank you for your sharing. You are always so encouraging and inspire deeper thought. Creating positive environment is important. One of best way to build positive relationships within the workplace is to encourage each other, keep peace, and find ways to make things work out. I think all your co-workers are very happy to have you in the workplace.
Thank you for sharing. While effective communication is a learned skill, it is more effective when it’s spontaneous rather than formulaic. A speech that is read, for example, rarely has the same impact as a speech that’s delivered (or appears to be delivered) spontaneously. Of course, it takes time and effort to develop these skills and become an effective communicator. The more effort and practice you put in, the more instinctive and spontaneous your communication skills will become.
