SUMMARY:Communities of Practice Connect: Lead & Learn: A Community for Educator Leaders

SUMMARY:Reflective Listening: The key to productive conversation
DESCRIPTION:Many of us have had training in public speaking\, but when was the last time you had formal training in listening? A necessary part of any conversation\, listening is a complex activity that encompasses many components that come together to help us better understand others. In this highly interactive session\, participants will learn key ways to listen\, understand\, and engage with each other to practice these skills. Because of the highly participative nature of this program\, participants will need to be in a stable environment (not driving) and have their cameras on throughout this experience.
