Communicating as Preventative Medicine


The moment a teacher thinks everything is under control is the time he or she invariably encounters all sorts of problems. For instance, someone is angry about something someone said, another student feels disenfranchised from the ensemble, or a colleague is upset about departmental policy that directly or indirectly affects the teacher who had thought everything was under control. Regardless of the problem, any scenario that causes conflict can make the instructor's job more difficult. Regularly scheduled meetings with students and faculty where open and frank dialogue is encouraged should help to circumvent potential areas of conflict. The key to preventing or solving problems is communication.
