Communication with students can be a benefit and/or a hindrance based on how we communicate versus what we are communicating.

For example, teachers have different perspectives on grading student achievement. However, if a history teacher announces to students that “In this class, you must attain 92% on the exam over the Civil War Period to obtain a grade of A,” why is that requirement inappropriate? What changes can be made to collect appropriate data for student achievement? How can we, as educators, communicate effectively? Explain in 1-2 pages, including evidence from the text.
