During the Pandemic crisis, the leadership of the administrator has to be creative, flexible enough to communicate the school’s long/short term vision and mission, institutional values, opportunities and out
For the administrator, even during the pandemic, the need to
find the time and an effective method to communicate with the masses instantly and
often remains one of the most important factors for having a successful
school/district. The administrators are
constantly faced with the challenge of finding ways to connect, communicate and
collaborate effectively and efficiently immediately, frequently and often daily
to all stakeholders (i.e., teachers, parents, students, community).
Since Covid 19, I still think blogging is an effective method
for administrators to communicate with its stakeholders, but I do not think
that blogging should be the only form of communication. Because all administrators have the duties
and responsibilities of attending/scheduling meetings and corresponding with
notes, phone calls and emails, etc., blogging would drastically reduce their time
and energy needed on a daily basis.
As an administrator, using the blog would allow me to keep
stakeholders updated of the events, changing headlines or happenings of the
school (i.e., professional development, open house, school closing, delays, etc.)
with simple announcements/reminders or invites to other forums, blogs or
information, obtain instant feedback, share resources and . Using the
blog would allow me to send messages on a platform that is (a) known, liked and
used often (b) can be accessed and updated instantly (c) can be put on other
forums (i.e. school website, twitter, etc.) and (d) enhanced with podcasting,
photo or video clip to communicate and collaborate with stakeholders.
Blogging would also cut down on so many daily phone calls to the front office from stakeholders asking basic questions about events, after school programs, deadlines, lunch menus, report cards, delays, school closings and many other items because it would allow me to connect, share, communicate and collaborate news and events immediately to the masses.
