Izabela Potnar Mijić: Communication is the key, but what do we open with it?
Biography:
Izabela Potnar Mijić is a senior advisor for English and German as foreign languages in the Education and Teacher Training Agency, Regional branch Osijek. She performs professional and advisory work in education, participates in the monitoring, improvement and development of education in the field of preschool, primary and secondary education.
Abstract:
Working in the educational institutions implies communicating with different profiles: students, teachers, parents, advisors, authorities, and public. Sometimes it is difficult to come to terms with opposite points of view, opinions and expectations. To communicate successfully means to approach every participant appropriately. How hard/easy can that be?
In this session we will talk about different kinds of communication that can be observed in the schools and around them, go through examples of good and bad communication and give some ideas for improving our personal communication skills.
