Effective Communication: How to Say What You Really Need, and How to Listen When You Disagree.

In the classic TV show “Gomer Pyle,” Sargent Carter would say when angry with Gomer, ” I can’t hear you!!” – prolonging and exaggerating the key syllables. We all are at some time or another on either side of this relationship, frustrated by some challenge to communicating. Are there ways to be better heard? Are there ways of listening that help us to hear what is really being said? This workshop will explore these questions and offer options for more satisfying communication.

Participants will learn to:

1. “Join” the speaker without agreeing

2. Ask questions that “bridge” rather than provoke

3. Look beyond surface feelings

Presented by:

Donald Brash, PhD is a professor and directs the doctoral program in contextual leadership at Palmer Theological Seminary and College of Eastern University, which is located near Philadelphia, Pa. A graduate of Drew University (PhD), he now studies psychoanalysis at ACAP/ICPS in Livingston, NJ, where he hopes to earn the NCPsyA. One of the doctoral courses he teaches is Enduring Models of Leadership. He also is an ordained minister, with a broadly ecumenical outlook.

Immigrant children attending our schools often face challenges that extend beyond a language barrier, which has been exacerbated by recent political developments over the last couple of years. These barriers include looking different than the majority of the white student population, having parents who may lack a formal education and/or who are not able to speak English, feeling isolated, and lacking and having underrepresented role models that they can relate to. It is difficult as an educator, or as a therapist, to understand how these barriers get in the way of academic success.

I am one of these immigrants who faced these similar challenges while attending public school, but was able to succeed through the intervention and outreach of a caring educational community. The role of the teacher, therefore, is far more important than just imparting knowledge because it is about understanding these unique circumstances to engage, foster and develop a successful student experience. By sharing my story, you will better understand how your role as an educator can change a young person’s life. Therapists, too, will benefit from learning how to support immigrant children and their educators in the educational setting.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will:

– illustrate the challenges of immigrants in the classroom setting

– formulate the cultural barriers for immigrants while learning

– Identify intervention strategies for teachers who are working with immigrants.
