Mastering Social Media for Schools
Do you manage social media for a K12 school? Then this podcast is for you! Struggling to find time for social media? Wondering why people won’t engage on your Facebook page? Can’t get content from your staff? Trying to get students to follow your Instagram Stories? These are just some of the big struggles that #SocialSchool4EDU CEO and social media storyteller, Andrea Gribble, digs into on the Mastering Social Media for Schools podcast. In addition to exclusive interviews and step-by-step strategies, each episode is designed to inspire and empower you on your journey to master school social media! This podcast is meant for anyone in K12 education - public schools, private schools, charter schools, online schools, tech/career centers - we serve them all! Grab insight into what’s working in hundreds of schools based on the experience of Andrea and her team. They directly manage more than 90 school districts, and coach/mentor more than 200 other schools. But Andrea didn’t always know what worked. When she started her business in 2014, she wished she had someone helping her answer questions like: What platform should I start with? How important is my school hashtag? Should every school in my district have its own Facebook page? What kind of videos do best? How do I represent everything that is going on in my school when I’m only one person? You’ll discover why thousands of educators follow Andrea’s advice on social media and even have fun while listening. Hit “subscribe” and get ready to master social media for your school!

Learning as She Goes: How to Grow into a Confident Storyteller with Tricia Johnson
- Tricia didn’t plan to lead social media—she just raised her hand. Now she’s making a huge impact! Her story proves that passion and heart can take you far, even when you’re figuring things out as you go.
- No formal training? No problem. Hear how Tricia self-taught her way to success—with lots of sticky notes. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, her journey will remind you that curiosity and commitment go a long way.
- From overwhelm to confidence, Tricia shares how trial and error, along with a few Canva hacks, changed everything. She’s honest about the struggles and the small wins that built her into the communicator she is today.
- You’ll love her real talk on feedback, slowing down, and why it’s OK not to have all the answers (yet). Tricia reminds us that giving ourselves grace is just as important as giving it to everyone else.
