Abstract
This packet contains instructional materials and online modules prepared for Fueling the mind, feeding the world: Communication in agriculture - Listening effectively (COM07). It includes curriculum, PowerPoint slides, activities, handouts, grading considerations, and notes for instructors. These materials were created as part of the USDA Grant entitled "Fueling the Mind, Feeding the World: Enhancing Communication and Decision-Making Skills of Secondary Agricultural Education Students."
MODULE OVERVIEW: Listening is a crucial part of communication for two major reasons. First, we spend more time listening than writing, reading, speaking, or using other forms of communication. Second, listening is not the same as hearing. Effective listening includes attentiveness, thinking critically about the information, engaging in the conversation through head nodding, and watching nonverbal movements and cues. Without effective listening, messages might be misunderstood. Therefore, employers look for those who can listen effectively and identify keywords and concepts needed to make informed decisions.
