Coaching is all about having someone believe in you and encourage you, about getting valuable feedback, about seeing things from new perspectives and setting your sights on new horizons.” —Author Unknown

We are halfway through the school year. Are your social media efforts and results where you want them to be?

A few will give a confident yes response to that question. Many districts are doing an awesome job. To you, I want to say, “Keep it up!” I learn every day from your continued efforts. But many more will respond with a no or a, “I’m not sure.” If this is your school, then keep reading.

The Struggle
Using social media to help tell your school’s story is powerful, but if you’ve never done it before, how can you expect to be great at it? You may have a full time role already with the school, and social media is something you volunteered to help with. Or maybe you weren’t self-nominated, but someone else just told you that you had to do it.

There is strategy involved. Policy. Teamwork. Measurement. Work.

It isn’t easy, or every school would be doing a great job with it.

The team at #SocialSchool4EDU has learned a lot about social media in the last three years. We’ve worked directly with more than two dozen districts, and trained more than 500 schools. We’ve posted more than 20,000 times on school pages. So how about putting that experience, along with our passion, to work with your school?

The Coaching Program
Your school needs some help, and #SocialSchool4EDU is here to provide individual guidance. We have a new coaching program designed just for you! It includes:

• A 30-minute monthly coaching call.
• Direct e-mail and phone access to Andrea.
• Up to three members from your district can participate.
• Weekly tracking of your social media efforts, with quarterly report cards provided. See an example here.
• Strategy, training, and more is included. Our goal is to dramatically increase the impact you are making with social media.

The monthly cost is just $250, with a minimum six-month contract. Basically, I become a team member to bounce ideas off of, to evaluate what is working and what isn’t, and to guide you with the resources and tools we have developed after three years of serving schools. You should know that I am extremely competitive, and I want to make sure your school shines on social media.

One of our school partners recently saw their weekly reach quadruple!
The time is now to make a change. We are running a special through December 22, 2016. The monthly cost has been cut to just $200 per month. Be one of the first five schools to sign up for our coaching program and you’ll receive three customized graphics for your school to use on social media. There is no obligation, but we’ll schedule a call to ensure the coaching program is for you and your school and we will talk about getting started. It is fast and easy!

Not sure if the coaching is for you? If you can relate to three or more of these statements, then I think your school deserves it:

• My school doesn’t use social media at all.
• My school struggles to post twice per day on our Facebook and/or Twitter account.
• My school doesn’t do any formal measurement of our social media efforts.
• My school doesn’t have any formal policies related to social media.
• My school doesn’t have a formal communication/public relation role.
• I’m in charge of social media for my school, but I don’t personally use social media.
• I have many teachers and administrative leaders who don’t understand the importance of social media.

I’m on a mission to help schools. Let me help yours!
