What will your classroom communication loop look like next year?
As move-up day approaches, I’m organizing the many communication tools for systematic, responsive, two-way routine share for the learning community: students, families, teachers, leaders, and community members. Communication protocols and systems create an almost seamless structure which leaves room for more responsive student service and coaching.

As move-up day approaches, I’m organizing the many communication tools for systematic, responsive, two-way routine share for the learning community: students, families, teachers, leaders, and community members. Communication protocols and systems create an almost seamless structure which leaves room for more responsive student service and coaching.
Communication Protocols:
- Ask Questions, don’t let issues linger.
- Clear, concise, and targeted.
- Err on the side of sharing more than less.
- Let students lead the sharing whenever possible:
- Encourage students to ask questions in person or via email.
- Give students a chance to author newsletters, blog posts, and web information.
- Share almost all communications with students and elicit feedback.
- Teach children how to navigate the communication loop.
These are the classroom communication pieces we’ll incorporate into the learning program:
Daily:
- Twitter: daily schedule, news, and updates.
- Email: Announcements, important messages, and parent/student questions and information: maureen_devlin@wayland.k12.ma.us
- Google Home Study Doc: Chart of home study links, assignments, and resources.
- Weekly Newsletter Google Doc: Doc that is updated weekly with classroom news and events.
- Class Website: The Resource Center of Important Classroom Information.
- Family Conferences (twice a year) and Coaching Sessions (upon request)
- Class Presentations of Signature Work and Projects: About two-three times a year.
- Guiding Websites for Signature Projects: Endangered Species Project Website and Math Program Examples.
- Professional Blog: Teach Children Well
- Twitter @lookforsun
- Professional ePortfolio
