IMPACT COURSE

AISH’s Leadership Impact courses are for four weeks, approximately 3-5 hours per week. Based on the same topic as the Skills course (outlined below), the framework reflects what we know about great learning. Goals and activities are customized around your interests and needs.

Nurturing the Parent-School Connection

Learn ways to be a better communicator, day-to-day and also in crisis situations. Audit your school-home interactions for evidence of positive outcomes. By examining the role of social media from around the world, you'll explore what has been most effective and gain insight into what might work best in your context. Course facilitator Deidre Fischer will engage you and a cohort group in practical, job-embedded discussions and activities designed for immediate application and impact. Resources are curated and relevant and you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your experience in a forum of colleagues.

Impact Course Outcomes:

• Assess the effectiveness of the communication channels, both formal and informal, that exist in your school by utilizing a tool that could be a survey, facilitated workshop, or the construction of one’s own tool.
• Synthesize the major themes emerging from the responses and identify a plan to build partnerships between home and school.
• Reflect upon the learning, utilizing the collective expertise and experience of the group, to promote leadership growth within ourselves and with others.

This is a course that would benefit from the Head of School participating in the course with the school's Marketing, Communications, and/or Admissions staff. Leadership teams may also take the courses together at a discounted group.
