Integration of Non-Verbal Communication in the Workplace

             Within the education system, and educational institutes, body
             language can aid teachers and counselors when dealing with troubled
             students or students who seem to be performing poorly in the classroom.
             "Teens are particularly expressive when it comes to body language" (Pierce-
             Rusunen, D.1) and recognizing the cues and signals could assist in gauging
             self-esteem issues and problems at home or at school.
             "Girls will let their hair fall so it covers their eyes or the sides
             of their face [and] they're more hunched over, their eyes are downcast"
             (Pierce-Rusunen) are all cues that teenage girls have issues with
             confidence and being assertive. These are all vital skills and traits for
             not only dealing with school, but also after school when students move on
             Body language cues could also aid school counselors with problem or
             troubled students. Two forms of body language in students tend to be most
             prevalent; lowered eyes and the stare'. "They stare when they are upset or
             angry." (Pierce-Rusunen) and lowered eyes' usually occurs when teachers
             search for an answer after asking a question and they look around the room.
             Teachers can also be aware of the non-verbal cues they are giving off
             to their students. It is important that teachers do not alienate students,
             or appear vulnerable in the classroom so good non-verbal communication
             skills can support their role within the classroom, making them more
             effective teachers and better communicators. Teachers can also instruct
             students on the value of body language and especially younger children and
             teenagers this could be not only beneficial in a social context, but also
             in protecting themselves against strangers or unusual circumstances.
             Beyond the classroom, body language could be used amongst faculty
             members and staff in their own dynamics as it is used in the business world
