Public Engagement: A 21st-Century Necessity for School Success
Dana, Joyce A.
Journal of School Public Relations, v25 n1 p8-21 Win 2004
The public has developed a powerful voice over the past two decades, calling for involvement in school decision making and creating the conditions for schools to pay attention to engaging the public in more meaningful ways. Lessons for all schools can be learned from charter school efforts to engage their public effectively. This article presents some of the lessons learned, provides a pragmatic two-dimension communication model that can be useful, and identifies steps to take to implement an effective public engagement program. (Contains 1 table.)
