Baseline Communications Assessment for Schools
Not sure where to start? Our Communications Assessment reviews your current processes and creates a customized action plan, prioritized into Do Now, Do Soon, and Do Later.
You decide how to proceed: we can implement the plan for you, guide your team, or combine both — delivering a clear, actionable path tailored to your district.
Do Now
High impact, minimal effort. These tasks can often be completed by your team, with limited support. Think of it as having all the tools in place, you just need a hand prioritizing, planning, or making a conscious effort to focus on them. This stage is often also where we determine pieces to be implemented in Do Soon.
Do Soon
High impact, medium effort. These action items build momentum, accelerating improvement, and increasing efficiency. They’re often project-based and may require an investment. Do Soon typically impacts the current or upcoming year, but the timeline is ultimately up for your team to decide.
Do Later
High impact, high effort. We make sure you’re set up for sustainable, long-term success. Think of these items as your ideal state, with Do Now and Do Soon helping lay its groundwork. Do Later can also include an analysis of results, longer-term planning, and higher levels of organizational change that may require partnership support.
Our assessment framework includes the nine critical elements that we believe are essential for successful school PR and communications including:
Communication Strategy and Planning
Internal Communications and Engagement
Family Communication
External Communication
Stakeholder Engagement
Brand Experience and Reputation
Student Recruitment and Retention
Employee Recruitment and Retention
Crisis Communication
