Someone
that I would like to discuss fir this blog is my Supervisor. The reason I chose
her is because she’s a great leader, positive role, model and mentor. Moving
down south I knew no one here. My supervisor was a teacher my first two years
of teaching. She modeled great communication skills with her students as well
as her parents. She has a demanding tone but her parents took that as she mean
busy. There was always a clear line of communication with her and families. If
she needed to go t a home to communicate with families she did that. She always
said Mrs. Allen it’s not what you say it’s how you say it and that is true.
Working with children and families we have to be mindful of how we say things.
Everyone thinks differently so I make sure that my words are always
professional and that my tons of voice is appropriate for parents as well as
children. My supervisor inspired me to communicate with parents and gain a
relationship with them.

ReplyDelete"It's not what you say, but how you say it". I will take this quote with me. At the beginning of the year I tend to be firmer in my speech. Over time, I become a softy and have found the demeanor of those around me change. I need to remember that my tone and the way I say something has just as much, if not more impact than the words spoken.
Great post Chaundrea! I'm from the south and work in the south. You supervisor exude professionalism and great communication skills. Home visits showed how concern and passionate she was about the students. That was a way of forming building a relationship with the parents as well. We need more supervisors like her around.
ReplyDeleteThat is so great that your supervisor is not only able to be such a wonderful example to you, but is also able to help you to succeed as a teacher. It is definitely important that she is able to show parents that she means business because that is very necessary in a role such as hers. I couldn't agree more that the tone of how you say something is even more important than the words you actually say. Thanks for your post!
