30 Ways to Get Along
Better with Teachers, Students, Principals, and Parents
Isn't it ironic? In school we learn math, science,
and history; however we don't learn what to say when someone's blaming
us for something that's not our fault, calling us a name, going through
a tough time, not listening to reason, or behaving inappropriately.
As a result, we either don't say anything at all or
we say the first thing that comes to mind, which often makes maters
worse. Communication is too important to be left to chance.
This program doesn't waste time on platitudes that
don't work in the real world. You'll learn real-life ways to
communicate that have the power to prevent conflicts and produce
cooperation.
You'll learn how to diplomatically handle
challenges you face every day in the classroom, halls, faculty meetings,
front office, around the campus, on the bus, and at extracurricular
activities and events including how to:
Persuade nonstop talkers to stop, listen, and see
your point of view
Keep from saying something you regret (Tongue
Glue!)
Use the AAA Train to clear up complaints
Handle hassles with humor vs. harsh words (Fun
Fu!)
Coach poor performance so students learn (vs. lose
face) and are motivated to self-correct
Use words that turn resentment into rapport
Keep anger and emotions under control so you keep
a positive perspective
Resolve disagreements by focusing on solutions,
not fault
Think on your feet instead of thinking of the
perfect response . . . on the way home
Diplomatically say "No" without jeopardizing your
friendships (or job)
Create quality relationships through
compassionate, respectful communication
Continue to be the kind of person you want to be -
even when others aren't
Find out for yourself why the Executive Director of
the National Education Association (1983-2001) Don Cameron said, "This
book is not only long overdue, it is vitally important."
The Library Journal gave Sam's "Tongue Fu!® at
School" book the following review:
"Of all the people quoted throughout this
intelligent sequel to Tongue Fu!, Laurence J. Peters of Peter Principle
fame perhaps best expresses Horn's philosophy of communication: "Tact is
the art of putting your foot down without stepping on anyone's toes."
Cooperation, in a sense, is a trickier subject than the three Rs, so it
should be taught in school, argues Horn. Here, the veteran consultant
and seminar developer applies her trademarked process for cultivating
good working relationships to anyone who spends time in a school setting
(including students). Brief, easy-to-digest chapters cover communication
and language (including "Words To Use" and "Words To Lose"), the
creation of a "climate of cooperation," and conflict-resolution skills
as they apply in school. . . . this work should find an appreciative
audience among teachers and administrators. For most education and
communication skills collections.-Kay Hogan Smith, Univ. of Alabama at
