Good afternoon everyone,
It's a beautiful Sunday and this high school principal just made it through his fourth Homecoming week in the role, hopefully unscathed. We won't know until the middle of this next week probably.
I have some very special news to share with you all this morning, and it's already gaining traction!
I've now spent more than a year consistently writing to and engaging with school leaders from all over the world. I've been on Kit, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Threads.
I’ve been an administrator in: Two states A middle school Three high schools Schools in communities of extreme poverty A middle class community A hyper-affluent community An AVID National Demonstration School A National Blue Ribbon School An IB school A High Reliability School A Solution Tree Promising Practices school
Here's the data and research from LinkedIn alone, in addition to my professional experience, that helped me arrive at the idea and creation of my first downloadable digital product, 6 pages, an hour-long segmented follow along YouTube video, for just $10:
1,600,000+ impressions 673,000+ members reached 13,500+ engagements 3,100+ comments 150+ reposts 570+ saves 190+ sends 340+ link engagements
I'm not trying to get rich, just make a difference, and I spent a ton of time building this out for current and aspiring school leaders. I know no one is going to use their district credit card for this, so it was important to me that I keep the price point low enough to justify your own personal investment.
The topic?
Operationalizing collective teacher efficacy in schools. The title? Collective Teacher Efficacy by Design
If you don't learn something new about bringing collective teacher efficacy to life in your school or district, I'll give you your money back. You'll learn more about leveraging time, people, and money to make your teachers feel like they can create the outcomes they want from this product than we did in our master's degree programs in education administration that gave us hardly anything practical. The image below is a screenshot from the YouTube video walkthrough that comes hyperlinked in the file, section by section.
Spend time with the document where you want, with video explanation from me for the section you’re looking at. I figured I should have something to show for a year of doing this online content creation thing. Here it is! Enjoy and, as always, your feedback is so appreciated.
