Shifting to a Remote Mindset

Thinking remote means being able to distill our interactions and reflect on what we value. What aspects of being in a classroom do we care about the most? How can we extract these parts and repurpose them to work in a remote setting? In today’s episode, we bring on special guest David Sawhill from Claremont High School, Kelly Tilson from Redlands East Valley High School, June Straight from Parkland High School, and Yearbook Rep Lori Garcia. We have an open discussion about their initial nerves, fears, and the uncertainty they felt about accomplishing what they thought was impossible. We discuss how a change in their mindset takes them from being nervous to motivating their students and push through to produce this once-in-a-lifetime historical book. 2:43 Mindset - When did you realize you needed to change your mindset 22:11 Surveys - What do you put in surveys to get results 26:13 Old Habits - How you need to approach this like a new adviser instead of a veteran adviser 26:49 Adviser Support - How connecting with other advisers can help you grow 30:41 Moral - How to keep positive morale with staff 34:53 Content Collection - What change did you make in order to help gather content 37:48 Unmotivated Students - What do you do to deal with apathy 43:17 Senior Ads - How are you collecting and marketing them 49:22 I Quit - What keeps you going from not quitting yearbook 53:42 Creative marketing - What new marketing tactics did you do to help push sales 59:15 Importance of Yearbook - Why is important to you and your kids Walsworth Yearbooks - Sponsor For more than 80 years, Walsworth Yearbooks has exceeded expectations and provides unmatched expertise.
