Tackling Misinformation: A Collaborative Strategy for District Leaders

Single module registration

In today’s fast-moving information landscape, rumors and inaccuracies can spread quickly, impacting trust, morale, and decision-making. In this session, learn how a strong partnership between the superintendent and the communications team is the key to proactively addressing misinformation. Through this real-world case study, you'll discover how a district effectively uses clear messaging, community connection, and a focus on transparency to stay ahead of the noise. Participants will walk away with practical approaches for monitoring conversations, correcting false narratives, and strengthening communication systems by working as a united front. Join us to learn how this powerful collaboration helps a district stay focused on what matters most: students and staff.

• Spot misinformation early by understanding where and how conversations emerge.
• Respond with clarity to correct false narratives and reduce confusion.
• Strengthen alignment between district leaders to reinforce trust.
• Leave with practical actions you can apply in your district right away.
