Education has been through a lot of change in the last six months. We’ve shut down and reopened during a pandemic. Hats off to educators at all levels for what you’ve accomplished. With schools reopening, districts have made choices from completely virtual, to completely face to face, and everything in between. No matter the decision, new policies and procedures have been written and are now being implemented.
With the new policies and procedures, it is vital that these be communicated with teachers, students, parents and the community. Since the guidance schools receive regarding Covid-19 changes often, be sure those changes are shared with stakeholders. It’s one of the things that school leaders can control, so communicate with your stakeholders. With social media, school webpages, and even good old paper newsletters, get the word out. If location, location, location is the mantra for real estate, let’s have communication, communication, communication in our schools and with our stakeholders.
Wishing you all a safe week of leading, teaching, and learning, Dr. B
