    Things Fall Apart After Students Say Yes

    Students said yes. They showed up. But you're still doing everything yourself. This episode is about the gap between commitment and execution — why it happens, and what structure to build so students actually run the program. If your students are excited but still waiting for you to tell them what to do, this one's for you. IN THIS EPISODE: - Why buy-in doesn't automatically equal execution - The difference between students who "help" and students who "run" - Why teachers become the operating system by default - 5 steps to build roles and checklists that create independence - Why letting students fail is part of the process - What changes when the system actually works KEY QUOTE: "Buy-in gets students to the door. Systems get them to do the work." RESOURCES: - Educator Conversation with Trey Perry (McCool Junction): https://youtu.be/JdJEMcwLdIs - Atomic Habits by James Clear — "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." CONNECT: - Striv Education: striv.education - Future Ready Educators Community: futurereadyeducators.com NEXT EPISODE: You've defined roles. You've built checklists. But some students are doing the work… and some aren't. How do you hold them accountable without becoming the micromanager you were trying to avoid? That's Episode 4.

    How to Get Students Interested (and Keep Them Showing Up)

    Students don’t stop showing up because they’re lazy.They stop showing up when the program stops meaning something. In Episode 2 of the Broadcast Ops Playbook, Taylor Siebert and Nathan “Hoosier” Ladehoff dig into one of the most common frustrations in student-led broadcast programs: Students start strong… then fade. Teachers end up chasing, covering, and carrying the load. This episode reframes the problem. It’s not motivation. It’s meaning, ownership, and culture. You’ll hear real examples from classrooms and gyms, lessons learned from veteran teachers, and insights from programs that grew because students owned their roles instead of just helping when asked. In this episode, we cover:Why students lose commitment over timeHow teachers accidentally create dependencyWhy incentives work short-term but fail long-termHow ownership and clear roles change everythingWhy culture — not guilt — makes commitment stickHow communication and team energy keep students coming backIf you’re tired of begging students to care — or wondering why your program still feels fragile even when kids show up — this episode will help you reset expectations and rebuild buy-in the right way.

    Thinking about starting a student-led broadcast program… but hesitating? You’re not alone. In this first episode of the Broadcast Ops Playbook, we talk about why student-led broadcast programs are worth starting — and why they don’t have to mean more work, more stress, or more chaos. This episode is for teachers who: Feel stretched thin alreadyWant students to take real ownershipWorry about equipment, quality, or timeDon’t want to become the bottleneckWe reframe what “student-led” actually means, explain why programs struggle without structure, and show how starting small with clear systems can make all the difference. This isn’t about having the best gear.It’s about building a program students can run. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start, this episode will help you see a simpler path forward.
