This resource focuses on the importance of listening in communication, specifically distinguishing between supportive and dismissive listening. The document outlines a structured activity in which participants practice these listening styles in pairs. In the first round, one partner shares a hobby while the other engages in supportive listening, demonstrating visual cues such as eye contact and nodding. In the second round, the roles reverse, but the listener acts distracted, showcasing dismissive behaviors. After these rounds, participants reflect on their internal feelings associated with both types of listening. The document emphasizes the need for a safe communication environment in the classroom, proposing a Group Contract and discussing classroom norms that promote respectful listening. Key takeaways highlight how being heard fosters a sense of value and respect, while dismissive behaviors hinder learning.
