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.

This is why I do what I do. Furthering the opportunity for kids to find what they want to do by enabling the teachers to create the right environment as a high school broadcasting class.

Never run a Media Day before? Most guides assume you have.
This one starts at zero: what to shoot, what it costs, how to walk away with content you'll actually use.

This year's school theme is 'Define Ready.' We're creating SOPs and checklists to ensure everyone has their gear together before going live, reducing scramble time and empowering students with the tools they need from day one.
Jordan Burns Nixa Live program wasn't always this big. What started with 30 games a year is now 165+, with a waitlist of students wanting in on the action! Growing involved taking risks, pushing boundaries, and overcoming roadblocks. Success comes from taking one step at a time.
In high school sports broadcasting, there's no waiting for commercial breaks. Success hinges on being 'ready' – knowing pre-game expectations, camera shots, sponsor needs, and when to use replays.
6 students and one camera in 2015. 65 students and 165 games a year now.
Season 2 opens with the honest version of how that happened, roadblocks included.

Think broadcast production is all glam and no planning? Think again! Our secret weapon? Checklists! They're the unsung heroes ensuring we don't go offline.

This is why we've built BroadcastOps a software built for teachers and students to fully run their broadcast program. With features to schedule crews, go through training, and prepare resources for the production, this software is going to be a game changer for any student-led production.
TSN built its whole World Cup graphics package around one idea: the soccer scarf. Three countries, one small team, zero outside vendors. Broadcast programs should study decisions like that.

A World Cup broadcast has a camera operator who's spent years earning the right to operate that camera.
No high school program has that kind of runway.
We're doing the same job at a fraction of the scale, with kids instead of career pros. But the rules those broadcasts follow didn't get made up for fun. Most of them exist because someone learned the hard way.
So we built certification courses around it. Play-by-play, camera, directing, producing. Years of what our teachers and our network of working broadcasters have learned, turned into something a student can actually work through before game day, not during it.
Train the role before it's live, not during it. If you're figuring out how to build that training into your own program, DM me and let's talk through it.

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.

Some days working from home has its perks. 63 and sunny with very light wind. The back deck is the place to be.
I've never been a teacher. I've never bought equipment for a school program.
But I've sat across the table from a lot of teachers who have, and I see the same pattern over and over.
The grant gets approved. The gear shows up. Nothing changes.
Here's why ↓
If you're a teacher about to write a grant, or an admin about to fund one:
Build the system first. Roles, accountability, training rhythm, a checklist students follow.
Then add gear. Now you're amplifying a working program instead of an overwhelmed one.
The order matters more than the budget.
We went deep on this on the Broadcast Ops Playbook this past episode.
Why teachers fall into the gear trap, the 3 myths that keep students dependent on you, and what to build before you buy.
