Description

Flip communication for instant impact—and real results for students!

Break away from the old ways of communication and revolutionize leadership and communication at your school. Use the principles of connectedness and flipped learning to engage stakeholders—teachers, administrators, and parents—digitally, so they’re ready for engaging and productive discussions when you meet in person. Featuring action steps, reflections, and “connected moments,” plus more resources online, this book shows you how flipped leadership:

  • Makes the school community visible to parents
  • Creates authentic staff meetings
  • Maximizes communication between parents and school
  • Models effective use of technology

The Corwin Connected Educators series is your key to unlocking the greatest resource available to all educators: other educators. Being a Connected Educator is more than a set of actions: it’s a belief in the potential of technology to fuel lifelong learning. To explore the other books in this series, visit the Corwin Connected Educators website.

"Education is plagued by outdated leadership strategies and techniques that have long lost their luster. DeWitt provides a fresh look at how leaders can make use of precious time while increasing the effectiveness of meetings and communications."
—Eric Sheninger, Principal

"DeWitt shows his emerging passion for backward design, for working from what needs to be realized to how we then attain such success, and for listening and carrying his staff with him. The book describes a principal’s road to realizing how to see the world in a different and more powerful way."
—John Hattie, Author, Visible Learning


Key features

Much has been written about flipping the classroom, but this book shows how administrators can apply the same principles of connectedness and flipped learning to enhance the learning experience for their staff and strengthen a school’s relationship with the community. Through action steps, reflections, and “connected moments,” this book will show leaders:

  • The importance of being connected to other educators and to school stakeholders
  • How flipping can enhance school communication
  • How to start flipping faculty meetings and parent communication

There is also the Connected Educators Series website where readers can connect with all of the authors of the series, find more resources, and find real support for putting flipped leadership into practice.
