I made this delicious bracelet with a talented student of mine, inspired by chocolate vanilla and strawberry flavors and finished off with a Heyshey's kiss charm.

6 Workplace Communication Mistakes Educational Managers Should Avoid

Being a manager in a school is often like treading on eggshells that are placed on thin ice. I know that because I've been an educational manager for 5 years; having been hired without much previous experience, I've had to learn from mistakes.

Previously I talked about 5 Workplace Communication Mistakes for Teachers to Avoid. As I was laying out the possible scenarios in which teachers fall victims to communication breakdown, I kept thinking about "the other side" that I will be referring to as management. I will use it as an umbrella term to talk about head teachers, supervisors, assistant directors of studies, directors of studies, directors, co-ordinators -- any management position a person can be holding in any school.

I've always said it: teachers are a proud people. They've put a lot of time, money and effort into their training. They're alone with their students most of the time, taking hundreds of decisions daily. In most cases, they plan their classes on their own, and they deliver them without requiring much assistance. So, supervising teachers is a hard thing to do, and communicating issues can sometimes be tricky. You have to balance delivering the message without hurting anyone's feelings, sounding condescending or causing conflict.

Here are 6 things not to do when communicating with teachers under your supervision.

#1 JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS (Solution: Ask.)

No-one likes a manager who jumps to conclusions about your work without clarifying with the person involved first. Always ask, even if you think you know the answer deep down, or can feel it in your bones. Even the most experienced managers can be wrong about people who work for them from time to time.

#2 LABELING (Solution: Be specific to a situation.)

The way you left your classroom was not okay.

You never prepare for your classes on time.

You are uncommunicative.

You're not a good teacher.

I'm the boss here.

Unfortunately, labeling is effective. But not in the long term. Teachers will want to do better mainly because they don't want to be labelled again. But they will be thinking of their way out. The important thing to keep in mind is that most people grow, evolve, and want to do their job well, so try to avoid labeling, and if there is an issue that needs to be addressed, stick to the specifics of a situation.

#3 ASSUMING (Solution: Provide information.)

When you are in a position to provide essential information to a group of people, assume nothing. Your decisions seem obvious and logical to you, but people under your supervision might have another perspective. Explanation is the key here, and shows respect on your part in that you are willing your teachers to have all the necessary information at hand.  

#4 FRATERNIZING (Solution: Separate professional from personal.)

A classic mistake of wanting to be liked by your employees. You may think that if you become friends with someone you will avoid the talking behind your back, but you're wrong. When at work, you will avoid many problems if you separate your professional life from personal communication. And never under any circumstances discuss your salary with other teachers.

#5 POINTING FINGERS IN PUBLIC (Solution: Stick to the generalities.)

Even when done in jest, no one likes to be singled out in public. That creates for a situation in which a person is forced to defend themselves taking away from the time that belongs to everyone in the room. It's embarrassing and awkward for all parties involved. If everyone in the room needs to know about the issue, stick to the generalities.  

#6 MICROMANAGING (Solution: Hire people you can trust.)

A good manager should trust teachers to do their job. Of course, it is not always that you take on teachers with the desirable level of experience and training. Sometimes you know that your employees will need a little more supervision, and you might be right. But if you know in advance that you are hiring somebody without the necessary credentials or experience, have an agreement with this person in place before they are taken on regarding the in-house training, lesson observations, supervision techniques, etc. Alternatively, hire someone you think you will be able to trust.
