Course Memo
We have all been in situations where one or two words used differently (or at all) could have made all the difference. We have all walked away from a conversation wishing we understood the other side better, or that the other side understood us. In the world of communication, and especially in the world of education, words matter. And not only the words we speak, but the words we think, the words we write, and the tone we take when using them. If we can be more aware of the way in which we use words, and understand the ways in which others use them, we can turn a conversation into a constructive one. A situation into a supported one. A classroom into a thriving one.
