Why I’m Writing Open Letters to Stakeholders in Education



ChatGPT said:

Here’s a polished and organized blog post based on everything you've shared in your friendly, straightforward style. It sets up your open letter series, explains your AI writing process, and introduces the 10 key stakeholders in SWAY. It’s short, evergreen, and ready to post.

 

Change is hard, especially in education, where so many people, directly and indirectly, shape the learning process. That’s why I’ve decided to write a series of open letters to the stakeholders who matter most. When I write to one teacher, I’m writing to all teachers.

When I write to one student, I’m writing to all students. This blog and the following letters are my way of “passing the play” forward.

 

Why Open Letters?

They invite participation, clarify roles, and make change feel personal, like an invitation instead of an order.

Each letter will be short, practical, and honest. It will live permanently on this site to help anyone who wants to understand how they can play a part in SWAY. I want to Evergreen my website, making it self-directed and useful long after it’s written.

 

How I’m Using AI to Help Me Communicate

AI didn’t create SWAY—I did. Long before ChatGPT, I was drafting ideas in my CAP Notebook.

Now, AI helps me organize and clarify my message so more people can understand it. It’s like having a patient co-writer who remembers everything I’ve shared and helps me shape it into something meaningful.

 

Here's My 7-Step Writing Process with AI

  1. Brainstorm in my CAP Notebook

  2. Dictate my notes into OneNote using voice-to-text, proof and polish.

  3. Paste into ChatGPT and let it enhance the draft

  4. Add prompts for tone and clarity to my text. Hit enter.

  5. Proofread and polish in OneNote [After you cut the response from Chat GPT]

  6. Paste the final version into the blog post. Proofread.

  7. Smile quietly to yourself.

 

Who Are the Stakeholders I’m Writing To?

Each letter will be addressed to a group that plays a role in shaping education. These are the voices I want to reach and include in the journey ahead:

 

10 Stakeholders in Education

  1. Students – The heart of it all.

  2. Teachers – The guides who bring learning to life.

  3. Parents & Guardians – Our first teachers at home.

  4. School Administrators – The culture-setters in schools.

  5. Support Staff – The behind-the-scenes heroes.

  6. Custodial & Maintenance Staff – The keepers of safe spaces.

  7. School District Leadership – The policy shapers.

  8. Government & Policy Makers – The curriculum and funding architects.

  9. Peers & Classmates – The daily companions in learning.

  10. Community & Business Partners – The bridge to the real world.

 

Here's What’s Next?

I’ll share letters to each group in the coming weeks. Each one will include a message, a mission, and a practical way to get involved. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or a policymaker, SWAY has a role for you.

 

Let’s bring learning to life. Let’s Pass the Play.
