reflection

Listening to MLK's speech was a real learning experience in communication.  It was amazing to see how effective communication techniques really have an impact on the listening audience.   As a school leader, you are often called upon to address parents, teachers, students, community members or school boards.  Knowledge of good communication skills is therefore crucial if you want your message to resonate with those whom you are addressing.     The "sticky notes" made its appearance once again, and proved its usefulness.  Thank  you Prof. Monheit for  sharing effective management techniques  such as having a student move sticky notes and paying attention to the noise level in the classroom when working in small groups.  Thank you Sarah and Yocheved for the informative presentation.  You addressed some very important factors in communication.
