Interpersonal Communication in the School

This course is designed to develop effective interpersonal communication skills that will assist pre-service teachers as they interact with students in classroom settings and with colleagues in professional environments. The topics, readings, assignments and field experience have been constructed to develop the skills of self analysis, introduce techniques to improve communication with children, and explore ways in which adults can work more effectively in collaborative environments with colleagues and parents. This course includes weekly lectures and tutorials as well as an eighteen (18) hour field experience in a local elementary school classroom. In order to ensure the safety of children in classrooms, local school jurisdictions may require that student teachers submit a current Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Search and an Alberta Children’s Services Intervention Record Check.
