The Iowa School Public Relations Association (ISPRA) has released its sample Return to Learn Communication Plan for all districts in Iowa. The plan is designed to help raise awareness about the need to prepare for face-to-face learning disruptions in the fall of 2020 and to establish the “why” for using this opportunity to rethink teaching and learning in order to garner support. The plan includes a number of templates as well as surveys for families, staff and teachers. Additional helpful communication resources for districts are available on the Iowa School Public Relations Association website. Remember also to utilize the numerous resources and surveys on the Iowa Department of Education’s Return to Learn Google site.
