Coach Carlos Johnson - Power Engage: Seven Power Moves for Building Strong Relationships to Increase Engagement with Students and Parents. This is episode 654 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
As a professional speaker, trainer, and author, Carlos Johnson, aka “Coach Carlos,” is locally bred, but his work and research on culture and engagement have taken him across the nation and globe.
Coach Carlos and his team of consultants have utilized his experience and research to successfully turn around three failing public schools and one private Christian academy. In addition, his training and strategies have helped to change school culture and increase parental engagement, student enrollment, and staff and student retention.
His driving belief can be best summarized by the following quote: “After 20 years of research, all evidence confirms that a highly engaged school culture is the mother of high performance!” The research and results from this philosophy led Coach Carlos to create his systematic approach to revolutionizing school culture by teaching districts how to build healthy performance-based relationships and institutionalize stakeholder engagement. In 2015, Coach Carlos stepped into principalship, and during his three-year tenure, he doubled school enrollment, increased staff pay, transformed school culture, and increased student performance schoolwide.
In response to the national school-to-prison pipeline crisis for young men, Coach Carlos created an online Tier-2 PBIS behavior and leadership course for boys called Future Man Success Prep. In addition, his PowerEngage system is an online/on-site system that trains thousands of parents, students, and instructional teams each year on the psychology and practice of engagement.
Coach Carlos is committed to transforming institutions and individuals through leadership and learning.
Our focus today is his book - Power Engage: Seven Power Moves for Building Strong Relationships to Increase Engagement with Students and Parents.
Coach Carlos has an awesome focus!
So much to learn from him.
Awesome conversation.
