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!

5 Lies Keeping Your School Social Media Stuck with Andrea Gribble
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
- Andrea gets refreshingly honest about the five lies she still has to fight in her own school social media work. From “I’m not good enough” to “I have to do everything,” you’ll hear real stories, real mistakes, and the mindset shifts that can help you move forward anyway.
- You’ll learn why waiting until you feel “ready” might be the very thing keeping your school stories hidden. Andrea shares some of her own cringe-worthy early graphics, a painful Throwback Thursday mistake, and even a prom post with two misspelled names to remind you that perfection is not the goal.
- This episode will challenge the idea that every great story needs to be a video. Andrea pulls out powerful examples of photo-based posts that reached thousands, sparked emotion, and celebrated students in ways that busy school communicators can actually replicate.
- You’ll walk away with practical ways to find more content without doing it all yourself. From weekly features and scheduled posts to staff submissions and student storytellers, Andrea shares simple systems that can reduce overwhelm and help your school community become part of the storytelling team.
