This monograph defines communication in terms of five characteristics and provides a description of the communication process that is intended to benefit both teachers and students. Following the answer to "What Is Communication?" in chapter 1, the contents include: "The Leader as Communicator," which considers some ways to bring people together and presents ideas both for improving oneself as a communicator and for helping others to communicate; "Basic Skills for the Communicator-Leader," which examines communication skills that are primarily intended to improve public communication; and "Improving Communication Within the Student Council," which emphasizes improving group skills within the school council and reaching out to the school administration and community. The monograph concludes with a list of common parliamentary terms, a quick-reference parliamentary procedure chart, and a selected bibliography. (RB)
