Empowering The School’s Communication Department to Develop School’s Image

Image is not only important for companies but also for schools. We don’t see other schools as a literally competitor, however, we need to inform the public about our school’s strength, value, and ability to develop their children reach their dream. The information will also help the schools to have parents and children who are the school’s segment then the perfect collaboration and alignment will be developed easily between all schools’ communities. Information has a very important role in shaping the school’s image, hence, optimize the communication school’s media is very important. Social Media is one of the communication channels that becomes everyone’s favorite at this moment. Through social media, schools will be able to disseminate all information to the public. It will be spread out everywhere and will develop the school’s image internally and externally. A good image will empower the school to gain the schools’ communities trust including the public.

Improving staff confidence, well-being and performance through intelligent accountability

Accountability measures are accepted as a necessity in school systems to guarantee quality, drive improvement and to ensure parental trust. However, managerial and market-based target setting has been proven to reduce teachers’ capacity to realise their professional aims, lowering staff morale and promoting practices such as ‘spoon-feeding’ or teaching to the test (O’Neill 2013; Ball 2003; Vriens 2016). This presentation advocates for new forms of more ‘intelligent’ accountability focusing on ensuring that all necessary conditions for a teacher and school’s success are in place. By involving all community stakeholders in defining these conditions, and having school leaders and governing bodies concentrate on their delivery, we can focus on improving processes not to the detriment of outcomes. Such accountability can empower all in the community and lead to a high standard of trust and wellbeing across leaders, teachers and parents.

Empowering parents communities to increase students performance in your school

OECD report 2018 shown that parents support is one of three key reasons to achieve academic excellence. And World Bank Report 2017 shown 90% of parents in Indonesia only participate once (or never) in their child’s class activities. This is obviously a big concern, and we can only assume that this is the major reason why Indonesia PISA score is always on the bottom list. With the pandemic situation, parents are “forced” to be involved and schools have no choice but to ensure that the parents are fully engaged to their kids’ learning. It leaves a big gap in many schools on how to effectively engage their parents for a positive outcome to ensure that their involvement will boost their kids’ academic performance and how the teachers and all school’s stakeholders can play a part in this initiative.
