“How you say what you say matters.”

That’s the driving idea behind this new special report exploring what good communication looks like for school and district leaders.

The quote is from Belicia Reaves, the principal of Capital City Public Charter School in Washington, D.C.—one of many leaders that contributed their insights and advice.

The aim is to help those who are leading schools keep staff motivated, choose the right communication platform, leverage social media, improve recruitment efforts, and more.
