Communication

When talking about communication the first thing that comes to the table is generally school to home communication and while the research is clear that communication plays an important role in the type and quality of parent/community involvement the reality is that our systems are very dynamic, diverse and complex. In order to have a successful communication system a cohesive plan must be articulated reaching  all stakeholders and the larger community. The system must provide means and channels for us to actually communicate both ways and reach consensus and agreement on the messages being delivered.
