On June 29, 2017, Future Ready Schools® (FRS) held a webinar that is part of its Leadership Hub, a one-stop-shop of professional learning opportunities for school leaders.

Effective communication is a cornerstone of successful innovation in education. School districts that develop thoughtful communications plans build a culture of engagement, transparency, and trust that is critical for innovation both to take hold in the classroom and to be scalable across many schools.

The Learning Accelerator and Education Elements recently released a new guide (bit.ly/PLComms) with a streamlined communications planning process for schools that are implementing blended and personalized learning. Communications Planning for Innovation in Education: How to Communicate About Your Blended and Personalized Learning Initiatives includes real-world examples from school districts across the country, as well as links to videos, templates, and other helpful tools.
