Welcome back. You belong here.
Last night we had a meeting at the elementary school where our three children attend. After a lengthy conversation on communication where parents expressed their concerns over the poor communication between students and teachers, I knew I could help.
After all, this blog is about my speciality - Communication, Innovation and Collaboration - Bringing People Together.
I spoke to the team that is working in this area and offered my help. They recently went to another local school who is known for their good communication, they brought back some great ideas. They seemed open and interested.
I told them of two things that would help our communication right away:
1. Collaboration - instead of waiting to hire a web master, ask the receptionists to print newsletters, instead, let's do this together, teachers, students and parents. Great Ideas will come from these groups.
2. Technology - is the #1 way to accomplish this. Collaborative websites such as Google Docs are free and can be used by many users
In the future, I hope to help my school in this area and to be the Communication Specialist on their volunteer staff.
Have a great day.
Into the future,
