Juan, Creating a collaborative environment where everyone can learn about recent changes and share their ideas is a great way to involve people in the overall operation. This creates "buy-in" and "buy-in" creates a stronger school. Cindy Bryant

Renee, Failing to be transparent is a form of deception. Sometimes people give some information while believing it to be untrue, intending to deceive by doing so. A failing to be transparent becomes a lie when it has one of three essential features: -gives some information but voluntarily withholds information -intends to deceive or mislead -believes that what they are 'saying' is not true People who feel deceived are likely to turn their back on the person that deceived them or the institution they represent.

Elizabeth, Hi! Welcome to the forum. Community involvement is a critical component of a school or businesses persona. It allows for teamwork (as you mentioned) and a sense of giving back.

Encouraging your students to network from the beginning may give them a edge on the competition. Cindy Bryant
