Stephen R. Covey (empathetic listening), Haim Ginott (congruent communication) and William Glasser (connecting habits) all wrote about how people can communicate or relate more effectively with each other,
a. Select two of the three (Covey, Ginott, Glasser). Explain the similarities and differences between their two approaches.
b. Indicate which of the two you selected seems to be most valuable to your thinking and explain why, with examples.
What will be an ideal response?
a.
Covey says to do what you can to understand the other person’s view of the world, or frame of reference. Then examine your own. Insofar as you can, move from your frame of reference into theirs and communicate from that perspective. Seek first to understand the other person and then to be understood.
Ginott advocates congruent communication, which addresses situations rather than students’ character and is harmonious with students' feelings about situations and themselves. Ginott says that teachers at their best do not preach, moralize, impose guilt, or demand promises. Instead, they confer dignity on their students by treating them as social equals capable of making decisions for themselves. Contrarily, teachers at their worst label students, belittle them, or denigrate their character.
Glasser advocates using seven connecting habits: caring, listening, supporting, contributing, encouraging, trusting, and befriending. Glasser believes if students are to do competent work, they must be helped to connect strongly with their teachers, on a personal level. The connecting habits facilitate their doing so.
b.
Look for persuasive explanations of which of the selected two seems more valuable. Look for supportive examples.
