QUESTION 41 OF 50

How can you tell that a person is a good listener?

Share a little bit about your ability to read people. You may be teaching students how to listen to each other appropriately, so it is important to have strong social and conversational skills yourself. Describe how you can tell that someone is truly listening and how you help students listen to each other in the classroom.

"A good listener will be able to paraphrase or otherwise demonstrate that they understand what was just being said. Some people may make direct eye contact, while others may show they are listening by asking questions and verbally agreeing or following along. I try to model these cues with my students, so they are aware of what makes a good listener and the importance of truly listening to one another."
