#Etcoaches - Q2: Does your communication style change based on your audience (i.e. students, parents, colleagues)? Why or Why not?

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 1:10 PM EDT

@JayVeanCCSD yes, that is important. Have to show respect but purposeful as well #ETCoaches

JayVeanCCSD Jul 26 @ 1:10 PM EDT

A1: Without effective communication I'm nothing as a coach. This is a skill we all need to have. Essential. #ETCoaches

froehlichm Jul 26 @ 1:11 PM EDT

@Jyoung1219 Been here a week already. Suffering from chat withdrawal I'm afraid ;) #ETCoaches

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:11 PM EDT

@froehlichm Good one. #ETCoaches

RafranzDavis Jul 26 @ 1:11 PM EDT

A1 Probably "direct" because confusion is frustrating #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 1:11 PM EDT

Q2: I think the message should not necessarily change, but maybe your tone and delivery will based on audience #ETCoaches

mikeaustinwest Jul 26 @ 1:11 PM EDT

A2: I don't change my style, but I'm more intentional about my word choice depending on the audience #ETCoaches https://t.co/E1YRn6duKC

#Etcoaches - Q2: Does your communication style change based on your audience (i.e. students, parents, colleagues)? Why or Why not?

We are chatting this morning about communication! #ETCoaches Join us!

froehlichm Jul 26 @ 1:11 PM EDT

@ShanaVWhite Thanks! #ETCoaches https://t.co/0Qo7vI2IjT

mrsjeff2u Jul 26 @ 1:11 PM EDT

A2: Not really. I pride myself on being myself all the time…..Besides building relationships is key & doesn’t change #keepit100 #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 1:11 PM EDT

@RafranzDavis that was my word also! Clarity is so important! #ETCoaches

JayVeanCCSD Jul 26 @ 1:12 PM EDT

A2: Absolutely. I consider this differentiation. #ETCoaches https://t.co/LMnRxj2i8p

#Etcoaches - Q2: Does your communication style change based on your audience (i.e. students, parents, colleagues)? Why or Why not?

mrsjeff2u Jul 26 @ 1:12 PM EDT

@mikeaustinwest I can agree with that! We should NEVER talk over someone’s head. That happens too frequently for my liking #ETCoaches

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:12 PM EDT

A2: Definitely. Diff people need diff things (same person needs diff approaches at diff times too) #ETCoaches https://t.co/IewODbcs2P

sarahdateechur Jul 26 @ 1:12 PM EDT

A2 #ETCoaches No, I'm all about saving time so I will use as few words as I possibly can. Maybe a couple of warm fuzzies too but that's it.

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:12 PM EDT

@Jyoung1219 #ETcoaches - I need to work on being more reflective!

JayVeanCCSD Jul 26 @ 1:12 PM EDT

A2: My style changes based on what I know they already know. I try not to assume too much while giving plenty of credit. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:13 PM EDT

@mikeaustinwest #ETCoaches - GREAT answer!

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 1:13 PM EDT

@Jyoung1219 true...sometimes your message might have to be tweaked but it is key that it is consistent no matter the audience #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:13 PM EDT

@JayVeanCCSD #ETcoaches - Jay, that is an excellent way to think about it! I really like that.

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:13 PM EDT

Well said, Jay! Definitely an essential thing for us to keep working on endlessly. #ETCoaches https://t.co/Zi2h1VWZY3

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:14 PM EDT

@ShanaVWhite @RafranzDavis #ETCoaches - Clarity, probably one of the most important!

froehlichm Jul 26 @ 1:14 PM EDT

A2 I'd say it changes depending on the person & the relationship I've developed with them. Gotta know what ppl respond best to #ETCoaches

ASTsupportAAli Jul 26 @ 1:14 PM EDT

A2- communication should be to your suitor. Not audience. #ETCoaches https://t.co/VyND3I5h7n

#Etcoaches - Q2: Does your communication style change based on your audience (i.e. students, parents, colleagues)? Why or Why not?

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:14 PM EDT

@ShanaVWhite @Jyoung1219 YES...consistent message is key. Just might need to be delivered differently dependent on the audience #ETCoaches

JayVeanCCSD Jul 26 @ 1:16 PM EDT

And part of the fun is figuring this out. I enjoy this "challenge." #ETCoaches https://t.co/klDrn2CpvN

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:17 PM EDT

@Kharima4 #ETcoaches - so true. I am even thinking about how I talk to my own 3 children. Each has such different communication needs.

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:17 PM EDT

@froehlichm @ShanaVWhite Fully agree. Example: delivery of content to parents & young children - can't be exactly same approach. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:17 PM EDT

@JayVeanCCSD #ETCoaches - I AGREE!! I love dissecting learning and communication styles!

RafranzDavis Jul 26 @ 1:18 PM EDT

A2 I think that it does because the conversations and roles are different. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:18 PM EDT

#ETCoaches - You all have such excellent ideas. Let's get ready to move on to the next question.

ASTsupportAAli Jul 26 @ 1:18 PM EDT

What we have to remember about language is dumbing things down doesn't help anybody. You or your audience. #ETCoaches

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:19 PM EDT

@MrsMHenning @JayVeanCCSD Yes! Me too. I def take stance of listening first in order to understand others' POVs & styles. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:19 PM EDT

Q3: Our tone is an important aspect of communication. How do you ensure the tone of the message is appropriate for your audience? #ETCoaches

froehlichm Jul 26 @ 1:20 PM EDT

@Jyoung1219 @ShanaVWhite yup perfect example. Ts vs parents & then ind from those groups as well. Every1 sees thru a diffrnt lens #ETCoaches

mikeaustinwest Jul 26 @ 1:20 PM EDT

I hear you, but there's value in speaking as concisely& clearly as you can. Is that dumbing things down? #ETCoaches https://t.co/Vl3eFHlkWZ

What we have to remember about language is dumbing things down doesn't help anybody. You or your audience. #ETCoaches

mikeaustinwest Jul 26 @ 1:22 PM EDT

@mikeaustinwest I agree completely #ETCoaches - I don't consider that dumbing that down.

@KendraCameronJ #ETCoaches - Welcome, glad you can join us! I am coming to you from Massanutten, VA today - it is HOT! How about you?

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:31 PM EDT

@JayVeanCCSD @froehlichm Powerful! We earn trust & empathy when we show our vulnerabilities. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:31 PM EDT

@Jyoung1219 #ETcoaches - I sometimes think that nonverbal is MORE important than verbal. They say 80% of communication is nonverbal. Scary..

demusford Jul 26 @ 1:31 PM EDT

#ETCoaches peace everyone Nicodemus joining from Sacramento, CA !

JayVeanCCSD Jul 26 @ 1:31 PM EDT

@Jyoung1219 No doubt about that, Joe. #ETCoaches @froehlichm

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:32 PM EDT

@JayVeanCCSD @Jyoung1219 #ETCoaches - Trying is the most important part!

KendraCameronJ Jul 26 @ 1:33 PM EDT

A coach can be perceived a certain way without even saying anything. The perception is based on who held the position before #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:33 PM EDT

We are at the halfway point #ETCoaches - join us for the final 30 minutes. Communication is the topic of the day ;) Question #4 is coming up

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:33 PM EDT

Very important thing to be mindful of. @hmark321 #ETCoaches https://t.co/rt2CC1C132

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:34 PM EDT

Q4: When not online, body language is just as important as the words we speak. (see part 2 of question) #ETCoaches

froehlichm Jul 26 @ 1:34 PM EDT

@KendraCameronJ That is true, and rebranding a position can be difficult when a new person comes in. Doable, though :) #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 1:35 PM EDT

@KendraCameronJ not always true. In my 1st year I carved my own niche and identity which wasn't like my predecessor #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:35 PM EDT

Q4 Cont - What are do some common body language cues and how do you adjust your message accordingly when you see these cues? #ETCoaches

A4: Eye contact is huge for me. #ETCoaches

froehlichm Jul 26 @ 1:37 PM EDT

A4 Crossing arms & leaning back. I ask for feedback at this point to see when they became closed off so I can address that area #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 1:37 PM EDT

@KendraCameronJ luckily I was already a teacher in the building. But my forged my own identity and methods in the position #ETCoaches

KendraCameronJ Jul 26 @ 1:38 PM EDT

A4: I try to be aware how I position my arms. I am comfortable crossing them but try to remember not to! Sounds simple enough. #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 1:39 PM EDT

A4: Slouched sitting. Arms crossed. Eye rolling are usually signs to change things up even though you can't make everyone happy #ETCoaches

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:39 PM EDT

A4: The eyes tell me a lot. Eye contact or lack of gives me a lot of information. #ETCoaches

Hi #ETCoaches! Greg from Michigan joining in.

#ETCoaches - I notice facial expressions first - a scowl face or raised eyebrows. Then I start to wonder what I said/did!

mar10g Jul 26 @ 1:41 PM EDT

A4: This can be tricky, but participants engaged with their devices in off-topic ways. Check for understanding; change gears? #ETCoaches

A5 Reach out and make yourself available. Some people don't even know what your job is. #ETCoaches

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:47 PM EDT

A5: Put your phone away. Close your laptop. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:47 PM EDT

@Jyoung1219 #ETcoaches - YEAH Chocolate!!

@Jyoung1219 Haha, I always bring chocolate. Makes every workshop run a little smoother. #ETCoaches

@JoshCHoward @Jyoung1219 #ETCoaches - me too! It helps when I introduce myself, since I live near Hershey ;)

mikeaustinwest Jul 26 @ 1:50 PM EDT

A6: Education is frustratingly isolating. Social media helps me tremendously break down those walls! I learn so much from y'all! #ETCoaches

KendraCameronJ Jul 26 @ 1:50 PM EDT

A6: Broadens our reach and widens our PLN #ETCoaches

JayVeanCCSD Jul 26 @ 1:50 PM EDT

A6: I love sharing the power of social media with anyone who is willing to listen. #ETCoaches

JoshCHoward Jul 26 @ 1:50 PM EDT

A6 Twitter has made it easier to share resources, highlight best practices, and network with Ts to create lines of communication. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:52 PM EDT

#ETCoaches - I think it has helped tremendously. But.... Again, tone is sometimes very difficult to read via social media.

KendraCameronJ Jul 26 @ 1:52 PM EDT

I would love to know some ways you have encouraged your T to try Twitter #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:53 PM EDT

@JoshCHoward #ETCoaches - Twitter is amazing!

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 1:53 PM EDT

@KendraCameronJ #ETcoaches - we make connections that we could have never made without social media.

mikeaustinwest Jul 26 @ 1:54 PM EDT

@KendraCameronJ #ETCoaches - I agree - some are so reluctant to try Twitter. I guess more training and demonstrating how easy it is to use.

Jyoung1219 Jul 26 @ 1:55 PM EDT

Yes! Coffee. #ETCoaches https://t.co/4Yyjvfi2l3
