Why Do Teacher Communication Training

Programs Fail?
The tragedy is that our society believes anyone who
has acquired a degree in a subject can teach that subject well - even on the very next day of acquiring that
degree!
The belief is so deep-rooted that even the countrys highest
examination for lecturer selection is a multiple-choice type
examination! They never test the most crucial factor that
makes learning happen: Teachers Speaking Skill.
Main reasons why Teacher Communication Training Programs Fail.

Most teachers are not convinced that training

is a crucial need as no one has complained
about their teaching style - ever.

There is no convincing, fool-proof process to

expose teachers Unconscious Incompetence
and shortcomings in their teaching.

Teachers dont trust the program as they havent

seen any visible success in earlier participants,
or thoughtful improvements in methodologies.

The program never touches upon crucial issues,

therefore, never produces the deep impact that
could produce permanent improvements.

Not engaging. The program consists of usual

lectures, YouTube videos and a presentation.
There is no do-get feedback-do loop.

Old curricula, absence of monitoring and lack of

follow-up. After the program, all teachers return
to their pre-program teaching styles.

How Does Necessity Ignite

Educational Innovations?

Teacher
Communication
Development
System

Benefit from the unique blend of advanced learning theories and cutting-edge technologies.
How did our researchers do that?

When we realised.

we innovated

When we realised that most academically brilliant

teachers fail to build credibility, they fail in
teaching, they are not even aware of their
shortcomings, and nobody dares to tell them

we developed Worlds first Teacher Communication

Simulator. It convinces the teacher about his/her shortcomings
while interacting in realistic situations. It exposes their
Unconscious Incompetence and guides him/her through the
path of improvement with their whole-hearted participation..

When we realised that most teachers dont

have the answering reflex to respond
meaningfully on the spot, and this affects
their Comprehension & Interactive Influence
in the classroom

we included the innovative feature of realistic Impromptu

Speaking to Teacher Communication Simulator. It helps the
teacher face meaningful random and rapid questions and builds
the ability to think critically on his/her own feet, and deliver
apt responses on the spot.

When we realised that teachers

pronunciation, grammar, sentence formation,
vocabulary, phrasal verbs, idioms and
phrases etc lead to sharp criticism, and in
turn they lose respect

we introduced interactive communication enhancement

feature in our CBI-Theme based programs. It ensures Faster
Learning, Longer Retention and Quicker Recall of all English
and communication related matters including UK/US accents,
Usage of right words and Grammar structures.

When we realised that many teachers cant

engage students because they dont have
any interesting topics to discuss just
because they never had the habit of extrareading in the past

we developed worlds first Blended-learning English program,

Smart Communication through Wit & Wisdom. Through
thousands of apt stories, anecdotes, quotations and real life facts,
teachers can engage their students. It even compensates for the
lost time of not reading good books in the past.

When we realised that teachers facial

expressions, gestures and postures repulse
their students, and create an unhealthy
perception that the teachers are hostile
and unapproachable

we included the novel feature of Body-language Recording. It

helps the teacher realise their body-language while responding to
random, complex situations. This leads teachers fine-tuning
their their reflexes and enhance their likeability.

When we realised that teachers never get

true feedback, and dont believe it if
received saying the accusations are not
convincing, and that is the reason for not
initiating improvement actions

we developed the Contextual Feedback Module for the Teacher

Communicator Simulator. It presents the teacher with Timely,
Factual and Convincing feedback that are Actionable.
Moreover, these feedbacks are the basis for the teachers
customised communication development program.

When we realised that traditional teacher

communication skills development programs
dont produce permanent changes in
teaching habits

we introduced the Ingraining Feature in Teacher

Communication Simulation & Trainer, Theme-based Learning for
English Skills, Experiential Learning & Interactional Hypothesis
etc everywhere so that Teaching Excellence becomes their
Nature - Not by Memorising, But by Truly Experiencing!

What is the Result?

Educationalists see it as a sure-fire tool for teachers to teach like champions. They lead
meaningfull talk that engages and inspires, thereby weilding high Interactive Influence.

we learn by doing them.

How Does It Work?

Swimming can be learned ONLY by real swimming, not by attending
lectures on swimming theory. Similarly, smart teaching abilities can
ONLY be acquired by putting oneself into random, meaningful
interactions - multiple times - until the teacher masters the art, and
commands the powerful Interactive Influence.

How to transform a concrete building into a home
of inspired learning?
When a new school/college opens its doors,
where does the culture come from? What makes

there?
All answers lead to theacers talk. The teachers of
Excellent institutions speak Excellently.
EdXcellent Teacher Communication
Development System is the only sure-fire
program that ensures your teachers speak
Excellently.

Therefore, EdXcellence program is a THREE-STEP process, that
