Today's class was very informative on several points. Firstly, we discussed the importance of communicating with the public and why it's so important. One of the reasons given was that when schools communicate they set expectations and goals. We then further delved into the importance of setting goals that are realistic. This got me thinking. As a teacher I've experienced many situations where the administration had great ideas and goals however they were completely unrealistic. As a leader, if you want to set goals that are achievable you need to be more hands on. Observe the classroom, asses the overall atmosphere of the school; familiarize yourself with the culture of the parent/student body.
I greatly enjoyed the collaborative assignment we worked on in class. Working collaboratively is a great way to share ideas and concepts. Overall, I gained new insight on why a public Relations is crucial to your school's success.
