    Communicating For and Through Change
    Register for this session

    If the COVID-19 global pandemic has taught us anything, it is that change happens, whether we are ready for it or not. We should and can expect that life on the other side will never be the same as what it was before the pandemic hit our communities. In this session, you will learn strategies for not only communicating through change but also to communicate for change. Learn how effective communication can help to inform and engage your stakeholders so that they can help you lead the changes you need for your students and school.

    Communicating Hope During Isolation
    Register for this session

    Much of the communication focus in the past several weeks has been focused on negative issues like what is not going to happen. It's been necessary to make sure our families are well informed. At the same time, we need to recognize that the ongoing focus on pandemic-related messages can have an impact on the effectiveness of our communication. In this session, we will talk about why we need to shift our messages along with how to effectively move beyond the single focus of the pandemic.

In this session, learn a simple definition of trust and framework that allows you to build and enhance trust as you communicate with individuals and audiences.
