Semantic communications constitute a revolution in wireless technology, combining semantic theory with wireless communication. In a semantic communication, essential information is encoded at the source, drastically reducing the required data usage, and then decoded at the destination in such a way that all key information is recovered, even if transmission is damaged or incomplete. Enhancing the correspondence between background knowledge at source and destination can drive the data usage requirement even lower, producing ultra-efficient information exchanges with ultra-low semantic ambiguity.

Gunther, McGowan and Donegan draw on their own experiences and those of others in the field, to explain the importance of communication in school leadership. In focusing on the communication process-why it’s critical for schools, and how it can be executed well-they make the case that communication must be a primary emphasis for leaders, not an afterthought.In Strategic Communications for School Leaders, the authors provide the insights and skills necessary for understanding the role of communication in educational leadership. They also lay the foundation for helping leaders-and those that aspire to be-create and execute communication plans that help to win the trust of an increasingly skeptical public and provide a means to advocate for schools’ appropriate share of scarce resources.Topics addressed in the book include the following: understanding the audiences and their information channels; aligning the school leaders’ messages with their educational goals and values; telling stories and using illustrative examples; delivering honest and credible messages (including admitting mistakes); using technology intelligently and appropriately; and creating and adhering to a communications plan.
