ESD 715 - School-Community Communications (3)


In this course, presented in a seminar setting, students will develop the ability to plan for communications within the school-community as a two-way process of information sending and information gathering. Communication within the school-community will be framed as a process of engagement and as a foundation for the adaptive work of schools and communities in problem identification and problem solving. In addition, the students will develop competency in the strategies of engaging shareholders and stakeholders including both the school and community in ways that are adaptive and collaborative. The class also will investigate the issues of clear and effective communication including bias free and culturally competent measures and strategies of communication.
