Case Study: Mrs. Anderson teaches a second-grade class, and the students are working on a science experiment involving growing plants. One of the students, Lily, is usually enthusiastic about hands-on activities, but today she appears frustrated. Mrs. Anderson notices Lily's frustration but assumes she's having a bad day and continues with the class without addressing the issue. Scenario: Lily tries to set up her plant experiment, but she seems unsure about the steps. Instead of asking for help, she remains silent. As the class progresses, Lily becomes increasingly disengaged. Mrs. Anderson, focused on managing the overall class, doesn't realize Lily's struggle and assumes she is not interested in the activity.

Discussion Prompts: What signs of ineffective communication did Mrs. Anderson exhibit in this scenario? How might Lily's non-verbal cues ha ve indicated her frustration or confusion? What assumptions did Mrs. Anderson make about Lily's behavior, and how did these assumptions contribute to ineffective communication? in what ways could Mrs. Anderson have created an environment that encourages students to openly communicate their challenges? How can teachers differentiate between a student having a bad day and a student experiencing difficul ties with an activity? What proactive measures can teachers take to ensure that students feel comfortable expressing their challenges or confusion during a lesson?
