Effective communication can be the difference maker in how a school properly functions. From the bottom to the top of school leadership it's important to ensure that everyone is on the same page. For example, if your school is expecting an important visitor, whether it'd be a potential donor, superintendent, or your parish priest, it's important everyone is aware so they can be properly prepared within their classrooms. Send an email or walk around to every class and let the teacher know what is happening. This is a situation most educators can identify with, as every now and then someone comes and visits their school for one reason or another. One example that might be less common is if the boiler in the school breaks in mid-January and now when you walk in the building it feels like you work in a polar climate. This is a situation where it's important to not only inform the staff, but the parents and students as well. Send an email blast, post on ClassDojo, call parents, etc., whatever you have to do to ensure the information gets out there.The students can come properly dressed to manage the cold, and some may even choose to stay home so as not to deal with it. Whatever it may be, it's crucial for an administrator to be communicative with their faculty, students, and the school community as a whole. To not communicate problems or important updates can cause chaos and disorganization, and that can be difference maker between an efficient or inefficient learning environment.
