Effective Communication Skills
What is a team?A team is: A small group of people
with complementary skills committed to a common purpose
sharing performance goals and an approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.
Collaborate with Others
Demonstrate ability to
work effectively and
respectfully with diverse
teams

willingness to be helpful in
making necessary
compromises to
accomplish a common goal
Assume shared
responsibility for
collaborative work, and
value the individual
contributions made by each
team member.
Collaboration is not the same today as it
was 20 years ago.
In today's global economy, high-
speed communications allow virtual
teams to take on projects from
locations spread out across the globe.
To keep up with this rapidly growing
trend, employees are expected to
have both traditional team-building
skills and the self-direction to
effectively collaborate from afar.
INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION is the
process by which people exchange
information, feelings, and meaning
through verbal and non-verbal messages:
it is face-to-face communication.
It is not just about what is actually said -
the language used - but how it is said and
the non-verbal messages sent through
tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures
and body language.

state education chiefs

don’t simply measure
whether students can fill
in a bubble on a test, but
whether they possess
21st century skills like
problem-solving and
critical thinking and
entrepreneurship and
creativity.
