Assistant Principal Podcast Content Episode OutlineShow title and release date: If I Had One Day With You 5/26/26Teaser:The genesis for today’s episode came while I was hiking in the woods. I began thinking about what I would do working with someone if I only had one day. This “thought exercise” helped me think about the practices I teach that are most impactful, the ones that are simplest, and the ones that can make an immediate improvement in life and leadership. As I began putting the day together in my head, I realized I already have a one-day training that is very close to what I would do if I had you for a day, so I’ve made some changes to that training and borrowed some of the resources to come up with a one-day training for you. What I mean by that is that every activity I will take you through has a handout that goes with it. My hope is that you will be inspired by this podcast and one of two things will happen: you will grab the One Day guide and work through it on your own or, even better, with your team, or you’ll invite me to come do this training for you (and your team). Honestly, I would love to come to your school or district and train your leaders, but I know not everyone has the financial or time resources to do that, so I’d rather give the self-guided training away for free so anyone can access it. You can get all the supporting materials by visiting the special page on my website, https://www.frederickbuskey.com/oneday. Note that I will ask you to complete a three-question form when you download the handout. Whether you reach out to me or facilitate this yourself, I hope you take advantage of the way I’ve put this together.

A couple weeks ago I lead a PLC in a small district in which we use Charlotte Danielson’s Frameworks model of teaching to spur discussions about teaching’s most important domains and elements. Watching busy school administrators have time to actually talk about teaching and learning was awesome! It’s so important to examine teaching intellectually and yet something many of us seldom take time to do.Key Points Part 1When I went to design this day, I began with my one-day book study kickoff workshop. I’ve made a few tweaks, but most of the day still mirrors the content of my book, which I will refer to as we go through the activities. If you are going to do this day for yourself or your team, you should get a few copies of the book (link). Also, as I take you through the day, I will describe not only what we do but why we are doing it and how to facilitate it. Many of the activities are designed to be group activities, and multiple groups makes for a richer training so the ideal number of people to do this with is 15-25, which give you 3-5 groups or 3-5 people each.So, imagine you walk into the room and I’m there to greet you. Let’s begin working…Sponsor Spot 2:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction. But what does that actually look like?
