Being A Communicator

In this week lesson I have gain knowledge on how to be a communicator, a listener and how to show facial express to let the person know that a person is listening. When it comes to communicating with a person or group it is good to listen first until the person are threw talking. This is the polite way of giving respect to the person and letting him or her know that you are listening to what is important to him or her. Sometime we as people do not wait until a person is threw talking before we interrupt the conversation are facial expression can give away a bad message and we do not know it. We communicating I want to be able to communicate without interrupting the person listen to him or her until him or her is finish. When the person is finish respect what the person has said and give a positive respond in the conversation. Communication is the best way to find out about a person and know what him or her likes and respect it no mater what their culture is or race. Prejudice can play a part in communicating also because was as people look at what color the person is and because the person is not our race then we can disrespect him or her and talk to him or her in a disrespectful way. This does not show children how to communicate with their family, classmates or community. We have to be an example for the younger generation when it comes to communicating it does not hurt to communicate when someone comes up an ask a question and you do not know him or her. Be respectful in a proper way ask the question with out given a bad body language or a negative facial expression. This lesson has really shown me how to be a communicator and I have been practicing on communicating and facial expression. I have been told that my facial expression shows when I do not like something that someone does or what someone said. I try not to show my facial expression and that is something I have to work on that it want give out the wrong message which I am not try to do. After this class I should be able to be a good communicator because I am nerves when I speak in front of a big group my words get tangle up and I go blank. When I am in a small group I am not that nerves but I do get loss of words sometimes and I keep talking until I can thinks of something else to say. I am so glad to learn more about communication that will help me in my professional field. I talk to parents and children in my field and sometime feel that I have not said enough for the parents to feel comfortable with their children being in the classroom. I have been told by my supervisor that I have communicating with parents because of the reports she has been given from the parents and how the children likes me. I was very happen to hear that from the supervisor and to know that the parents and children are comfortable at the school and classroom. I am thankful for having this class and pray that God will help me to be a good communicator in my work, community and church.

Coomunication and Culture Diversity

In this week lesson deals with communication effectively with different cultures which is not a problem to do for me. I talk to anyone I am a people person who does not have a problem in communicating with different cultures. I have talk to people in different state and countries and have found out so much about their background and what he or she believes as in religious and their family cultures.  I tried to keep and eye to eye contact and listen to what him or her are communicating about and try to understand what he or she has on their mind. In doing this and communicating in responding to the conversation I have believe that the person understand me and I understand what he or she is communicating about in work, community or in church. There is a lot of communication that goes on at my church and everyone tries to communicate in the right way and with respect. Children are taught to treat everyone with respect, their friends, adults and their parents. I try to communicate with people differently where I am aware of what I say and how I would say it and try not to show any facial express where the person would think that I am not listening to him or her. I have found myself being careful in communicating with different people in different ways as talking slowly, making sure that the person understand what I am talking about by answering question to make sure him or her understand. Watching my body language which is not always good at times. What would help me to be a effective communicator is to be aware of the conversation and think on what to say after the conversation is finish do not leave the conversation without responding back with the person. Show polite face expression to let he person feel that what he or she is saying is important to you as well it is important to him or her.  Watching my body language is very important to it can give a mix message that is not really what I am trying to do in purpose. Communication is very important to have and get information that is needed for him and her. Out of this class I expect to be an effective communicator where I would not have any problem when delivering information to anyone.

Competent Communication

When I think of some one that does competent communication I think about Oprah Winfrey I have watch how she communicate very good on her shows. She listening to the people who are on her shows and comments when he or she is finish. When the person is finish then she adds her opinion on how she feels or believe about what the person discuss. If the person is in need Oprah would help him or her out or find resources that he or she can use. If the person have a rough time in their live Oprah would give him or her a gift, money or send him or her on a trip and I believe that it helps in communicating with people in a respectable way. People would feel more secure in communicating with him or her. This is what I have find with Oprah see communicate with a lot of people and have help him or her out in situation that him or her wouldn't believe. What make Oprah effective is how she communicate with people and what she does if him or her or in trouble she does not make him or her feel bad or upset she makes it where the person feel comfortable in talking with Oprah. I want to be able to communicate like Oprah be open minded and advocate for people who needs it and help him or her out in what every the needs is. Communicating is a very important subject some people do not like to communicate it it help when you are in need of information or need information from someone. It is must be done with respect of other and not evaluate him or her before him or her is finish talking. I am looking to learn more about communication in this class.

Professional Hopes and Goals

When I think about working with children and families who comes from a diverse backgrounds it helps me to have more concern and be supportive in helping him or her. Children that has a diverse background need my help and support to help him or her to develop in their  learning. Children that comes from different states and have a different language are not comfortable when the environment that he or she are in does not understand him or her. I believe that it is my responsibility to make the child and family feel comfortable in the classroom and in our state.

The goal I would like to set for early childhood field with diversity, equity, and social justice is to make sure that each child, families, and co-workers are treated with respect no matter what color he or she is. I want to be able to make sure that every child, families and co-worker have support in what he or she needs with resources that would help in any issues that he or she is having with in the school and community. I would want the children to know about different children in different states so he or she would know how to treat each one with respect in their communication and their interaction with one another.

I would like to thank my colleagues for your post in answering to my discussion and to my blogs. It did help me to understand my position when it comes to diversity, equity and social justice. This was not easy for me to keep up without a computer of my own so it was very hard to keep up with the post in the discussion and blogs. But I appreciate you and good luck in the next class.
