"Functional Fluency" applies that educators need to promote their own awareness, spontaneity and capacity for intimacy to decrease the likelihood of symbiotic transactions and increase their ability to respond flexibly and effectively using a range of ego state manifestations.This very ability is termed "functional fluency' ,because it relates to the function as an educator or teacher and the idea of trying to promote this function towards more fluency in: -Engaging students and catching their attention - understanding their difficulties and providing them with save frameworks. - communicating subject matters with enthusiasm and energy. All this requires highly interpersonal intelligence. It is not enough to know the subject well, it is more important to use the most effective ways in communicating the meanings to the students. That is briefly the idea of 'functional fluency'. You can read more about it here: http://www.functionalfluency.com/
