Lessons from a principalship « The Principal of Change - 0 views

  • It is always about the kids
  • Is the change you are trying to implement worth the results you will see? Change is a big buzzword in education right now; many people know that some things have to change, but are not sure what.  When you are bringing something new into school, it is important to be visionary about what it will actually produce.  
  • Building a great school means building a great family.

  • If you do not screw up, you are not trying hard enough
  • Learning must be open and transparent.
  • Clearly state your vision and beliefs, then repeat.
  • A bunch of great teachers does not always make a great school; bring everything together. There are so many great teachers out there, and many of them are in the same school, but that does not make the school great; it only means that there are pockets of excellence.  As with any team, if you are not able to bring the talent together towards a common goal, there is less chance of organizational success (Miami Heat anyone?).  Autonomy is essential to successful teacher practice, but so is purpose.  It is so important that educational leaders bring their staff together to create an environment where school teachers flourish.
  • Passion is everything.
  • It is all(ways) about relationships.

Parent Communication: TO vs WITH | Connected Principals - 0 views

  • Parent Communication: TO vs WITH
  • COMMUNICATING TO – GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT THERE newsletters reports announcements, newspaper articles and ads emails, SMS Website Twitter feed Blogs Facebook Page COMMUNICATING WITH – CREATING DIALOGUE face to face meetings -LISTEN parent phone calls emails that encourage replies website/blogs with comments enabled Twitter that encourages @ replies and dialogue Facebook pages and discussion boards that are open (and moderated) The key with parent communication is clarity of PURPOSE.  We cannot say that we communicate WITH parents effectively if we are not visible in the public and our technology does not encourage feedback and dialogue.  Technology is not a replacement for face-to-face dialogue but can be used in a way to increase the likelihood of these meetings through developing confidence and better school-family relationships.
