What overall message do you want to convey to principals?

Why?

What information do principals want or need to know?

What techniques can be used to get the principal's attention?

How will your report or announcement differ from the many other reports the
principal receives?

How does the method of presentation affect the reaction of the principal?


Does the way you highlight information create a positive, negative, or
neutral impression?

What are advantages or disadvantages of regularly scheduled meetings with
principals?

Of regular reports or announcements?

Any other ideas for communicating with the principal?

What are the benefits of explaining needs and goals for short term/long
term of the media center?

What leadership skills should a MS have to communicate with a principal?

Identify ways, projects, techniques to communicate with principals better.

Should the MS approach the principle (proactively) or should the principal
