๐ It's "PRIME" Time to Get Organized Today!
Published 4 months agoย โขย 5 min read

Hello Reader,
Let's face it, the summer is half over. As much as I don't want to admit it to myself, the clock is ticking closer and closer to that time of year where we go back into the classroom.
I once heard the phrase, "If July is a Saturday, August is a Sunday" ... I must say .. Sunday is coming closer and closer. Where we don't want to think about it, it's time to think about how we are going to get organized this year.
That's why I am thrilled to officially introduce my brand new "Instructional Coaches Data Dashboard and Command Center!" A complete organizational system built for Notion!
โ
To celebrate the #1 shopping holiday, I am opening this template up to you today at a discounted rate but the catch is ... I only have 15 discount codes available. Meaning, the first 15 coaches to purchase the template will take advantage of our PRIME discount today only!
Let's face it ... every coach needs to keep track of daily teacher interactions, PD presentations, committee meetings, and of course the big one ... COACHING CYCLES. This template serves as a skeleton for coaches to build their own organizational system with TONS of customization available.
Why call it a Command Center?
I am calling this a COMMAND CENTER for two reasons.
All of your important information is organized in one centralized dashboard.
I've been watching WAY too much Transformers this summer with the triplets.
The Data Dashboard and Command Center comes complete with the following fully customizable databases
Notion is a productivity application where, much like LEGO brick, you can create a single note (think Google Docs) and with a bit of creativity, turn it into something that rivals Salesforce to keep track of all of your customers and clients.
โ
How does this the Template Work?
I started building this template a few years ago when I was coaching between 20+ school buildings. When I became a district administrator, I created a second version for Digital Learning Directors.
To use this template, you first need to have a (free) Notion account. Once you are signed up for Notion, you can simply click the copy button on the template and download it into your account.
How can I learn more about using this Template in Notion?
To help Instructional Coaches learn how to get started using Notion and their new Data Dashboard and Command Center, I have released the first round of video tutorials. I will be releasing additional videos based on Coaches feedback and requests.
How much does the Data Dashboard and Command Center Cost?
After speaking with several coaches over the last few weeks, and looking at the market for Notion templates in the "non-edu" world (some can hit almost $300!) I have landed on a modest price of $39.99. Trust me - this is the one application and organizational system that you will be using dozens of times each day to stay organized.
As I mentioned above, for the first 15 coaches who purchase today, I am taking $10 off the price bringing the cost down to only $29.99!
Can I get help customizing it to fit my coaching program?
Absolutely! Obviously, I couldn't create the perfect system to fit exactly into every single coaching department on the planet. The system is designed by, and has been tested by, coaches from across the U.S. The magic of Notion is the way that you can customize it for your individual needs.
If you would like to have a custom system built for your coaching program, department, or school district, please reach out to me. I'd love to work with you to design and develop the perfect data collection and organizational tool to help you be successful this year!
But wait ... there is ... One More Thing!
There is one more thing that I have been working on. I mentioned above that when I was a district administrator, I created a system to keep the entire digital learning department organized.
Well ... This system is now available to you and your district!
Introducing the Digital Learning Leaders Dashboard & Command Center!
What happens if you take the Coaches dashboard and kick it up a notch to include even MORE databases to help Digital Learning Leaders manage and organize Application Purchases, Department Meetings, District Policies, and Application Rostering?
THANK YOU for Supporting The Instructional Coaches Network
For the last 11 years, I have had the privledge of supporting Instructional Coaches and Digital Learning Leaders and this is the next evolution of this mission. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out with your questions. If this system is of interest to you but you would like a customized system, I would be happy to collaborate on a version of the system to meet the needs of your coaches and Digital Learning Leaders.
(For those in Administration, I have also created a system of this to track Strategic Plan Goals)
Have a great week and THANK YOU for checking out this brand-new Instructional Coaches Data Dashboard and Command Center. I think you are going to love it.
How can I help you?
In 2012, I created a podcast called "Ask the Tech Coach." The concept was to help Instructional Coaches and Digital Learning Leaders by answering their question. If you have any questions that you would like me to answer personally, address on a future newsletter, or discuss on the podcast, please feel free to reach out anytime!
I appreaciate your questions, your feedback, and for being a part of this community!
If there is anything that I can do to help or support you, please don't hesitate to contact me through the links below.
Until next time,
Keep up the great work in your classrooms, and continue sharing your passions, with your students.
