Regardless of your role as an educator, how you communicate can directly impact your relationship with students, colleagues, and parents. This edWeb podcast focuses on approaches and strategies to help educators build rapport, establish trust, and navigate not just the difficult conversations but the little ones in between. Whether through face-to-face interactions or communication via phone, email, text, or even social media, learning how to have better conversations can empower you and members of your communities of practice to contribute, collaborate, and build a positive school culture.

This session features Dr. Alison Wood Brooks, O’Brien Associate Professor of Business Administration and Hellman Faculty Fellow at the Harvard Business School and the author of TALK: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves, in conversation with Dr. Ruth Best, Assistant Dean, and Dr. Jenny Tellez, Assistant Professor and Program Director, both from the California School of Education at Alliant International University.

Listeners hear about Dr. Wood Brooks’ personal experiences and motivations behind her work as she reveals insights from the research and practical wisdom shared in her book. The conversation includes strategies that can make a significant difference in your professional success, in the quality of relationships, and in preventing misunderstandings. Listen to this edWeb podcast to learn about the science of conversation, the art of being ourselves, and how, as an educator, effective communication skills impact your relationship with your students, colleagues, parents, and communities.
