TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS TRAINING Thomas Gordon Effective and open communication promotes an awareness of others interests and needs. Being aware of the necessary skills that will encourage open communication is important when working with others. This lesson addresses several issues related to effective communication. The topics that will be discussed are: roadblocks to communication, using accepting language and listening strategies. Each of these topics will relay information that will lead towards more positive interactions with others. 12 Roadblocks to Communication According to Thomas Gordon, author of Teacher Effectiveness Training (T.E.T.), there are thousands of messages that we can send to students by how we communicate with them. They can be grouped into twelve categories, each of which tends to slow or completely stop existing communication that students need to solve problems and continue in their learning. Some typical responses that communicate unacceptance are: 1. Ordering, commanding, directing. Example: Stop whining and get back to work. 2. Warning, threatening. Example: You had better get your act together if you expect to pass my class. 3. Moralizing, preaching, giving shoulds and oughts. Example: You should leave your personal problems out of the classroom. 4. Advising, offering solutions or suggestions. Example: I think you need to get a daily planner so you can organize your time better to get your homework finished. 5. Teaching, lecturing, giving logical arguments. Example: You better remember you only have four days to complete that project. These next responses tend to communicate inadequacies and faults: 6. Judging, criticizing, disagreeing, blaming. Example: You are such a lazy kid. You never do what you say you will. 7. Name-calling, stereotyping, labeling. Example: Act your age. You are not a kindergartner. 8. Interpreting, analyzing, diagnosing.
