Question

Why do you think it is important for todays teachers to have effective communication skills?

Answer 1

Not only do they need to communicate with students just to teach, but they need to communicate with parents.  

Misunderstandings between parents and teachers can cause a lot of trouble for a school.

Answer 2

yes - how can they teach well?

Answer 3

u could be giving out instructions- now tif they werent in the correct order they kids would get confused - the first few days of a term  we give a class on giving clear instructions- its harder than u think!

Answer 4

Simply put, would you want your child with a teacher who said, "Uhhh today, uhhh, we are uhhh, going to uhh, do some math stuff.  Get uhh, your uhh, umm, c**p uhhh out and get your stupid work done."

Answer 5

If you cannot communicate, how do you teach?

Answer 6

Why are you even asking the question.  If a teacher can't communicate the ideas, how can she teach?   AND the teacher has to be able to communicate the ideas differently in case some students don't "get it" the first (or second, or third) time.  AND the teacher has to be able to communicate orally and in writing.
