Through a series of exercises and games the participants were able to discover each of those five pillars and \u00a0to understand how to enhance these skills inside the educational context.<\/p>\n<p>Because they must inspire and motivate their students to accomplish a particular objective, effective teachers are also effective leaders in the classroom. Different styles of <strong>leadership<\/strong> exist, but not every one of them is suitable for every circumstance. Because of this, participants were invited to discuss and brainstorm about the key traits of the leaders they admire and to reflect on various leadership styles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Effective communication<\/strong> is one of the most crucial teaching skill. Participants discovered the differences between on assertive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and passive communication, exploring through games and role plays the consequences of the use of these different styles.<\/p>\n<p>Another important skills for teachers is <strong>public speaking<\/strong>: some of the teachers interested in the topic gained knowledge of presentation techniques, body language management, and nonverbal communication. The participants were encouraged to prepare a brief speech to deliver in front of the class in order to build confidence and put their newly acquired skills to work.<\/p>\n<p>The course&#8217;s final topic was <strong>managing conflicts<\/strong>. Working with others can be challenging at times, and we are not always sure how to resolve disputes. By discussing their personal experiences, they realized how typical these circumstances are and that conflict doesn&#8217;t always result in a bad thing; it may also present opportunities for growth and development.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the week a lot of sharing enriched the knowledge of all the participants, which had the opportunity to learn <strong>new games and strategies<\/strong> shared by other teachers.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"height: 20px; overflow: hidden;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"imageGallery\" id=\"878343310433364320-gallery\" style=\"line-height: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0\">\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-imageContainer0\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-insideImageContainer0\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/photo-5994390644648426507-y_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery878343310433364320]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-imageContainer1\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-insideImageContainer1\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/photo-5994390644648426479-y-1_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery878343310433364320]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-imageContainer2\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-insideImageContainer2\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/photo-5994390644648426496-y_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery878343310433364320]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-imageContainer3\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-insideImageContainer3\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/photo-5994390644648426494-y_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery878343310433364320]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-imageContainer4\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-insideImageContainer4\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/photo-5994390644648426511-y_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery878343310433364320]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-imageContainer5\" style=\"float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;\">\n<div id=\"878343310433364320-insideImageContainer5\" style=\"position:relative;margin:5px;\">\n<div class=\"galleryImageHolder\" style=\"position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"galleryInnerImageHolder\"><a href=\"..\/uploads\/6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/photo-5994390644648426524-y_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery878343310433364320]\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"display: block; clear: both; height: 0px; overflow: hidden;\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 20px; overflow: hidden;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">To conclude this article, we would like to share a comment from one of our participants Irina:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThank you for extraordinary course!
