Description
The letters that can make a difference in the principalship often are the letters that principals have no time to prepare. Often "must write" negative letters consume the principal's letter-writing energies. This collection of letters is primarily focused on the "letters that principals have no time to prepare". Clearly principals know how to write letters. They simply have incredible time constraints. The letters in this manual are not a substitute for the personalized letters that principals will craft. This collection is merely a "starter kit".
The timesaving templates are easy to personalize and customize with the CD that provides a powerful and effective tool ready at the click of the computer mouse.

"This is a life saver! Communication is the key to effective management of public relations. 124 High-Impact Letters for Busy Principals is a great spring board for the challenging letters that need to be written during a busy day." -- Dr. Ramona Miller, Principal "Producing quality prose requires time, and time is at a premium for most principals. Why reinvent the wheel each time a letter is needed? Grady has put together well-worded, easy-to-modify correspondence on a handy CD." -- Frank Buck, Principal "Grady's book encourages principals who are perpetually pressed for time to get to correspondence that languishes at the bottom of busy administrators' to do lists. My own correspondence has doubled since getting my hands on this book!" -- Cathie West, Principal "The letters cover a wide variety of topics and give administrators ideas on what kind of letters should be written. After going through the letters, I realize that I need to send home more thank-you letters and letters of appreciation to various parents and organizations. I need to write more letters!" -- Gina Segobiano, Principal/SuperintendentMore details
