Communication Skills: The teacher uses knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, media communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom.

(communication skills) I selected to include my contemporary issues PowerPoint. This assignment documents my knowledge of both verbal and media communication techniques in order to teach a group of students a topic that eventually ends with a question and answer session to further their understanding.
