Clear Roles Beats Good Intentions


Listen Later

Your students showed up. They want to help. But game day still feels like chaos because "everyone pitch in" means nobody owns anything specific.


This episode is for any teacher who's ever set up the equipment, answered "what should I do?" four times, and wondered why willing students still can't run the show.


IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why helpful students without clear roles create a different kind of chaos
  • The 3 beliefs that keep broadcast programs stuck in "teacher does everything" mode
  • Nathan's Freshman → JV → Varsity framework for building student roles over time
  • How to identify your 3-5 core broadcast roles (with a downloadable PDF)
  • What "good" looks like for each role — and why a role without standards is just a label
  • Why assigning roles before the event (not during pregame) changes everything


KEY QUOTE: "When there's no name to a task, nobody's going to own it. And when nobody owns it, either nobody does it, or you do."
