Year 2 is starting for our online community of digital media and broadcasting teachers. I’m so excited to help inspire and serve our community members. Why? I started making videos when I was 12 (11 years ago) and have only gotten more involved in digital media. And I started broadcasting as a sophomore in high school (7 years ago). I found that students who are a part of digital media and broadcasting programs learn more than just the technical skills. They learn communication, teamwork, and responsibility. But they need a teacher to guide them to success. At @Striv_Education we work with over 60 teachers. Building out multi-year program plans, developing student technical skills, and creating future-ready student leaders. If you are a teacher of a high school broadcast or digital media program, I’d love to connect and hear your story. DM me and join our community at the link below ⬇️ futurereadyeducators.com/joi…

Your best broadcast student graduated and takes all of their knowledge with them. That's not a people problem. That's a documentation problem. Striv Education helps teachers build student-led broadcast programs that don't collapse when the teacher steps away. Week 3 of our Summer Series is inside Future Ready Educators. Watch the recording and catch Week 4 live next Monday. futurereadyeducators.com/c/a…

Some days working from home has its perks. 63 and sunny with very light wind. The back deck is the place to be.

Communication is key in broadcast team settings, just like in sports. Using headsets can make students feel part of a team, not isolated. This enhances engagement and makes programs run faster and smoother.

Stop trying to scale your broadcast program before mastering your current level. As complexity grows, so does the potential for things to go wrong. Focus on mastery first! @Striv_Education

Student: "This looks complicated." Teacher: "It's not, just press this button." The button: 👇

Running 44 games in 2 weeks pressure-tested all our systems. They held up at scale, giving us confidence in our methods. It's about learning through experience in the 'pressure cooker.'

Stepping into new roles, from directing to color commentary, and even a surprising return to play-by-play. The biggest thrill? My dad tuned in unknowingly and thought I was great on air!

Game day prep: Don't wait until the last minute. Train for your role, not just the event. Always have a backup plan and a utility player on deck. Reflect with your crew afterward. Even 2 minutes of reflection moves the broadcast forward.

An unexpected assist from a teacher! With all pronunciations and stats loaded into Broadcast Ops, he made preparing for the broadcast a breeze. A great moment highlighting teamwork and confidence building.

Ran a 10-day basketball tournament with over 100 students, and it was the least stressed we've ever been! The secret? Months of preparation and adding structure to operations.

Those taillights mean we’re going home! Another great @nsaahome Basketball State Championship tournament covered 💪🏻 I get to do what I love thanks to @Striv_Education

Quick tip: Broadcast teachers build an escalation path for problem-solving. Train students to troubleshoot with peers, then student leaders, before coming to you. This saves you time and empowers them. Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/iCCazw_qZnU
