STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS

Featured Project:

The Voices Framework

Engage your staff and students in conversations around equity through authentic video and facilitated conversations. Changing adult mindsets may be one of the most difficult tasks school leaders face as they work to enact change. Collecting and evaluating disproportionate test scores and other student data can only take you so far on your equity journey.

Using Hearts to Guide Minds

The Voices Framework® uses student stories as a critical layer of context to humanize the student experience and motivate adults to make changes. The Voices Framework® helps school leaders start difficult conversations and enact systemic changes to make their schools more inclusive and equitable.

Patrick Tepoortan | Community Relations Coordinator | North Branch Area Public Schools

An effective, well-produced video has become one of our communications game-changers in the last few years because even without a referendum, many people are already so busy and on information overload.

Pushing the “play” button can be one of the easiest, quickest and most effective ways for school district residents to become informed about the challenges faced by districts when requesting a tax increase.

Captivate Media’s videos engage audiences and help to quickly inform a large cross-section of community members with the key, critical messages required for community members to make an informed decision and vote their conscience.
