Written By Dave Davis

We are excited about our the coming year, and hope you will be part of it.

*Our ASB Storytelling Award is now a yearly contest as we recognize the best in scholastic broadcasting in the last spring.  The entry deadline will be in mid-April.  Details coming in about a month.

*Atlanta, here we come!  Dave and Brandon will be providing some great, fast-paced sessions for broadcast teachers at the STN convention in March.  This will include a new hands-on component, we are really excited to incorporate.  Stay tuned for details here in the weeks ahead, but you can learn more at the studenttelevision.com website.

*Video Coach III....yes, our new training DVD is finally in production.  Expect it later in 2016.  It will be all about shooting b-roll.

*In the months ahead, we will continue to publish some bell-ringer exercises, and a some more teacher-friendly tips and resources.  

*The Rant.....yes, you can count on a future blog entry where "Coach Davis" sounds off, probably in a similar fashion to that famous one published earlier in 2015...some folks say their kids really needed to hear it, so they read it aloud to their staffs.

*Speaking of the ASB blog, we will be publishing some new articles by guest-bloggers, and they will be providing great content for fellow broadcast teachers.    

*Our summer workshops for teachers are now open for registration here on the site, and the ASB student camp will start its registration soon.  

*As we like to say in the tease, "all that and more on the ASB website in 2016."

Dave Davis started a Broadcast Journalism class at Hillcrest High School in the fall of 1989. Since then, the school's student-produced show, "HTV Magazine," has become one of the nation's most-honored high school broadcasts.

In an effort to provide valuable, useful, hands-on instruction to broadcast teachers from across the nation, Davis founded ASB Workshop in the summer of 2000. Since then, the week-long workshop has provided training for hundreds of high school and middle school teachers from 47 states, plus Mexico, England, South Korea, and Japan.

In the spring of 2009 he was named the Springfield (MO) Public Schools Teacher of the Year. He lives in Springfield with wife Martha, and has two daughters who live and work in the area.
