Communication

Over the past few days I have been spending a lot of time meeting with different staff dealing with issues arising in our school. At the end of it all I appreciate the communication that goes on. It makes it easier to work through difficult situations and helps staff work effectively to solve any problems that may be going on. If communication does not exist then we are left wondering what everyone else is thinking and mis-communication begins to show. My belief is that if we can all talk to each other without fear that we are being judged then everyone is included and valued in the processes that happen in our building. Do they get to make all the decisions, not necessarily but it makes my job easier when I understand what everyone else thinks as well.
