What will we talk about?
District leaders manage numerous crises every day. These include issues large in scale, along with those that may be smaller, but have the ability to turn into major challenges in a matter of minutes. When a divisive issue impacts a school district or a controversy arises on social media, educational leaders can quickly find themselves managing media requests and responding to concerns from stakeholders. Managing a school crisis situation requires planning, a sound process, open communication, and an ability to quickly reach stakeholders with critical information when time is of the essence.
Who should attend?
Superintendents, Directors, and anyone who might need to communicate information in a challenging situation
