Describe three successful examples of effective communication:
1) Between a teacher and family
I am a part of the morning staff, so I rarely get to tell the parents in person about the day their child has. However, I write detailed daily reports. Since I work in the toddler room, I try to write down every time the child attempted to use the potty, when they successfully use the potty, or even when they have a hard time going to the potty. I also write on their reports what they did for the day, their crafts, how they were feeling and what they ate. That way even though I can 't say it personally, the parents still get to know what their child did.

I remember telling the incoming teacher everyone was recently changed, they all had eaten their breakfast and they were all very excited for the day. I remember telling her about an incident where one child got hit in the face with a toy. I also recall telling her that the child doing the hitting was having a hard time keeping her hands to herself. I also remember telling her that one other child was having a tough morning and was a bit emotional and needed a little more love. This was effective communication because i was able to relay important information to the other teacher so that she could have an easier transition into the classroom.
I also recall having to communicate with my director in order to get supplies for the kitchen and my classroom. I wrote the list and gave it into her. She made and order and my supplies were ordered and delivered. This was effective communication both verbally and written. I relayed the information, she received it and acted upon it and I received notice
