- 5. DEVELOPING POSTIVES RELATIONS BETWEEN TEACHER AND TEACHER Effective teacher to teacher communication is vitally essential to anyone's success in becoming a teacher. Some ways in which teachers can develop positive relations with other teachers are: • Encourage and show kindness and humility. Praise exemplary work, regardless of the person that did it. Sometimes the most hardened of fellow workers can be turned into “softies” once they realize that you are not afraid to compliment them or give them encouraging words, despite of how they perceive you ordinarily. • Be happy. Making a choice to be happy on a day to day basis will make people around you more comfortable on a day to day basis. (Zehm and Kottler 1993) • Be open-minded. Do not get into arguments. Discuss things with people rather than argue. Being combative or disagreeable is likely to put others off. • Understanding that some peoples feelings hurt easier than others. Humor can bring people together, but it can also tear people apart. Before making a joke with someone know how they would take it. Everyone is different in this aspect.
