Principal Blogging Project

Blogging can have numerous advantages for busy school principals. Blog content is typically more timely, easier to create, more interesting to parents, and better available to prospective families than traditional communication mechanisms. Unlike unidirectional newsletters or web pages, blogs also are automatically archived, are searchable, and facilitate conversations through their ability to handle comments. Principals are finding blogs to be fabulous vehicles for school publicity, public relations, and community building.

The Principal Blogging Project is a CASTLE initiative to help principals tap into the power of blogging. CASTLE will create a free blog for any principal interested in using these new communication tools. If you are a principal interested in blogging, participating in this project is easy!
