Are Your Requests Ready for a Major Upgrade?

How two TBC graduates transformed school operations, and got the principal into classrooms for 3 days every week, by developing a Digital Request System.

“We realized we have three kinds of requests: from the principal to the office manager; from staff to the office manager; from staff members to each other. We’ve created a request system that tracks all of this so we can keep tabs on how projects in our building are progressing.”

-Marisabel Lemus, Secretary, Kennedy Learning Community, Lindsay USD

I’m always delighted to uncover new tools our Graduates have invented for themselves to support their Breakthrough Coach practices. This indicates to me that our clients are embodying The Fundamentals™ in a deeper and more meaningful way.

Now that you’ve graduated from the Foundations Course, it’s time to think about ways to alter or upgrade systems that no longer serve your school. Listen and learn from TBC coaching clients Christine McJunkin and Marisabel “Bel” Lemus, administrative partners at the Kennedy Learning Community in the Lindsay Unified School District, Lindsay, CA, as they explain their newly created, digital request system. This groundbreaking tool allows them to:

  • Make and manage documented requests from anywhere
  • Minimize paper usage
  • Collect relevant information in one location and make it accessible to everyone
  • Hold team members accountable
  • Remain agile and productive
  • Save valuable time

The most significant result of this system – Christine now spends up to four days a week observing classrooms!

In my interview with Christine and Bel we cover:

  • WHY DIGITAL IS THE BEST OPTION: Why they chose to evolve their paper system to a digital one.
  • REQUEST PROCESS CATEGORIES: The types of requests that exist in a school for which this system takes into account.
  • INVOLVING I.T. TEAM MEMBERS: How local experts can help you develop your own tool.
  • CAPABILITIES & BENEFITS: What this tool does more quickly and easily than the average human.
  • OUTCOMES: How much time it saves school leaders.
  • ADVICE: For Graduate teams looking to replicate this process.
