Communicating
with Presence and Influence
An advanced communication skills program for
teachers throughout Queensland
Communication skills are important for many
professions but are particularly crucial for teachers.
Teachers communicate with students, parents,
colleagues and school leaders every day. Proficient
communicators receive information, understand and
synthesise it and express themselves at a high level.
They make excellent teachers because they are able to
transmit knowledge, skills and values not only to their
students but throughout the broader school community.
Communicating with Presence and Influence is a four
week online course specifically designed to fast-track
the communication skills of Australian teachers across
four key communication channels, students, parents,
colleagues and senior school leaders.
The course commences with an exploration of ones
preferred communication style and its impact on others
and then moves on to explore effective strategies for
communicating and influencing both inside and outside
of the classroom. By the end of the course participants
will gain an appreciation of how better communication
leads to better results and how to effectively use a
number of differing styles.
Course Learning Objectives
The ability to recognise your preferred
communication style and its effects on others
Strategies to improve communication with
students, parents, colleagues and senior school
leaders
An understanding of a range of communication
styles and their effectiveness within different
environments
Increased presence and influence when
communicating with others
An understanding of emotional intelligence
and its importance in effective communication
An increased understanding of how to address
challenges around diversity within the school
environment
A tremendous developmental opportunity
for teachers throughout Queensland
The Communication with Presence and Influence course
