Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Trends: All The World's A Customer---->Is Your School Ready To Reap The Rewards? In these tight budget times we are especially reminded of how limited resources can be. Financial, material, and human resources always seem tight and barely sufficient in schools. Now, the bite of recession and education restructuring is hitting bone in many places across our country. One other precious resource proactive schools constantly nurture and covet is community support. To the proportion your school has this, you probably have a smoother time weathering shortages of the other resources mentioned above. In thinking about this, I recalled Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Effective People as an interesting framework for considering a school's responsibility and wisdom in extending their base and degree of community support through outreach, accessibility, and quality.
 The list below is from the book above (that seems oddly dated given its publication year of 2000), nonetheless the list is timeless. It is all about building capital with your customers. The efforts your school expends to build community support and participation will be rewarded many-fold. What is your school currently doing well? Where does it need to improve? How can you get there? In coming posts I will share more ideas about maximizing your school's standing with your community.
