You defined the roles. Students know their jobs. But the stream drops, a camera dies, or a sponsor ad gets missed and you fix it before anyone notices.

Every time you step in, you teach your students they don't need to figure it out. You will.

This episode is for any teacher stuck in the rescue cycle — fixing things mid-broadcast because it's faster than letting students feel the weight of the mistake.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why rescuing your students actually holds your program back
• The three myths that keep teachers stuck as the operating system
• How Jordan Burns let a student sit across from a real sponsor after a missed ad spot
• How Trey Perry's students ran an entire month of broadcasts without him
• The 4-level escalation path: Peer → Different Role → Student Leader → Teacher (last resort)
• Standards vs. rules — and why "just do your best" doesn't cut it
• How post-broadcast reflections create a loop of continuous improvement
  

KEY QUOTE: "Every time you fix it, you teach students that you'll always fix it."
