Talking About Gaps, Creating Change
Printer-friendly versionThis interactive workshop will focus on how school leaders, community groups, and other key players in the education community can communicate effectively about achievement gaps and work to close them. It also will delve into how to share your school’s story with the media. We will explore strategies and tools to help schools and districts talk clearly about achievement and gap-closing efforts with both internal and external audiences and examine the most compelling ways to present data. In addition, Education Trust staff will provide advice on getting your message to a larger audience. For this hands-on session, participants will be asked to share news releases, newsletters and other ways they communicate with the public, along with media coverage of their schools’ achievement results.
