Some good information but lots that was outdated — need an updated edition to provide more relevance, especially related to the suggestions provided about incorporating technology into schools.

A decent quick guide that offers a few insights into connecting schools to community. Telling the school story has become imperative in the 21st century and the book offers many tactics to get started. For connected educators it is a good refresher.

Great practical advice for connected administrators to strengthen school culture. Currie's advice is realistic, practical, and just makes sense.
