Listening-the most underrated skill in education
Listening-the process of actively receiving, constructing meaning from, and responding to spoken or non-verbal messages-is essential for teaching and learning. How can we check for understanding and ensure that students' contributions are heard and understood by peers and teachers?
In Learning to Listen and Listening to Learn, bestselling authors and internationally respected educators John Hattie and Lyn Sharratt demonstrate how listening can foster positive relationships, trust, and understanding while enhancing student learning. With a wealth of research to guide educators through the process of infusing active, sensitive, and empathetic listening skills into the classroom and school culture, this important guide includes:
- The Visible CLARITY 5-Ear Listening Model
- Reflection prompts and mantras to help reinforce key learnings from each chapter
- Guidance on how to assess and enhance leader, teacher, and student listening skills
When we value every student¿s voice, we create an inclusive environment that encourages diverse perspectives, fosters equity, and develops accurate listening, empowering students to articulate their thoughts and enhancing skills they will use for their lifetimes.
