ABSTRACT
Communication is really all about relating or connecting to other people. In fact, one definition of communication states that it is a means of connection between people. Unfortunately, communication can sometimes be a one-way street, traveling down from administrators to staff. It's important to communicate accurately, consistently, and fairly with teachers. Teachers appreciate good communication coming from administrators. Communication is not only an important life skill, but is the most important skill for building relationships with teachers. It is about building trust, respect, and a commitment to developing those lead. Usually when we communicate with others, we are more interested in our own thoughts, feelings, and viewpoints. Effective communication makes teachers feel valued and connected. Communication is the best way to instill trust in teachers. Maintaining a positive attitude is crucial to productive communications. Rapport is built by having things in common; this makes the communication process easier and usually more effective.
