Communication A strong sense of a school's or district's shared vision is the result of deliberate and ongoing communication. Successful communication efforts ensure that school and district administrators, faculty members, and the public are well-informed of and committed to the vision, as well as to working together in developing the means for achieving it. Indicators of Communication School, district, and community stakeholders understand the vision. Communication between stakeholders is regular, ongoing, and based on a communication plan.
Stakeholders have ample opportunities to communicate with and across constituencies.
Technology is used optimally for communication, where appropriate. Cast a wide net, say experts, and make sure school board members and policymakers get the message. Ultimately, educational change requires broad-based support. Discussed below are specific indicators of strong communication in relation to the shared vision for a district or school technology program. Stakeholders Understand the Vision Districts develop and implement a formal communications plan to generate awareness of and rally support for the vision.
