About this title

Synopsis

Using a multidisciplinary approach to include a combination of theory and practical advice, this text covers a wide range of classroom communication issues that include: interpersonal and small group communication, listening and verbal and nonverbal communication.

In this revised edition of Communication for the Classroom Teacher, instructors can anticipate new coverage on out of the classroom communication, lesson plans based on state or national standards and crisis communication. This allows the instructor to implement various instructional strategies, enabling them to meet a wider range of student needs.

Why You Need This New Edition

 

There are many changes to this ninth edition of Communication for the Classroom Teacher. In this edition, we have tried to maintain a multi-disciplinary approach and focus on an audience of "teachers of all disciplines." In doing so, we have changed some communication specific vocabulary (specifically as it relates to theory) to reach a wider audience. We have also attempted to make the ninth edition more “student friendly” while promoting an interactive classroom.

 

You’ll find that this edition provides:

• Chapter content that more closely aligns with chapter objectives.
• Reading Objectives and Discussion Prompts located at the end of each chapter objective to help teachers and students engage in a more interactive classroom. These tools allow students opportunities to prepare for participation in an instructional discussion.
• Bolded key terms throughout each chapter with a summary of key terms at the close of each chapter will help students better prepare for exams.
• A new section on Out of Class Communication in Chapter 2. 
• A new section on the Importance of Listening in Chapter 3.
• A new title (Language) and reorganization of Chapter 4 with an expansion of the coverage on verbal communication which includes Teacher Clarity, Teacher Appropriateness and Verbal Delivery.
• A reorganization of Chapter 5 to include Lesson Planning based on state or national standards and more practical suggestions on how to plan and prepare a lecture.
• Significant reorganization and streamlining of the information in Chapter 9 with a new section on Handling Crisis Situations.
