If you haven't listened to Brene Brown and her wonderful Ted Talks, or read her book, "Dare to Lead", you're in for a real treat as I share what I have learned from her when it comes to making a change, embracing the fear and facing Vulnerability. No matter what stage of life you're in, making a change is difficult. Mindsets must be shifted, Feelings must be harnessed and vision must be cast. We tend to numb the bad things such as grief, fear, and shame, but I hope we all take this moment and step out, make the call and do the thing we have been called to do.

Ep 62: Assessing Student Learning in a Homeschool, Micro-school or Learning Pod. ✔️Grades, Progress Reports, Standardized Testing, and Student Success 🏆 Building a positive, meaningful experience

Although every state is different in requirements, reporting and portfolios, I believe it's imperative to begin shifting your mind to what may be possible other than what we have always been conditioned to believe as parents, students and teachers in a public or private school setting. While I am not against giving grades, progress reports or other quantified measurements, I share my take on administering these as a micro-school teacher. I share how my perception has changed and why I believe we need to embrace a different mindset when it comes to assessing student learning, mastery and progress-especially when it comes to having quality feedback in a smaller class size such as a microschool or learning pod!

Hi There, Teacher Friend! It’s March, and I know many teachers are considering options for next year, frantically holding on to possibilities, dreaming of a different way to carry on their love for teaching, but scared to let go. We've all been scared to leave the safety and comfort zone of teaching and embark on a journey that may/may not have ever seemed possible. All the fears come flooding into our minds. Where do I go? If I leave, what do I become? Can I /Should I really do this? Should I homeschool my children? Where do I even begin? Teacher friend, you are not alone. 3 years ago, I left teaching public school and had no idea where I was going or what I wanted to do. All I knew is that I needed to get out of there and start stepping in the direction God was calling. In this podcast episode, I share 5 valuable lessons I learned going from Public School Teacher to Homeschool Mom to Micro-school Creator. I share what helped me along the way when I was scared, overwhelmed, and had no idea what I was doing! I believe you will find encouragement from this heart-felt episode!

Welcome Back, Teachers and Parents! One of the most frequent questions I get from parents who are trying to homeschool for the first time is, "How Do I Homeschool My Child?" "Can you help me?" "Do you have any tips or tricks?" "Could my child come to you for a few hours of the day?" "Would you be able to TEACH me??" In today's episode, we discuss expanding a micro-school or homeschooling business to not only serve students but parents as well. This can look different depending on how you set up your business, but no matter what...there is a need for this type of service! Parents are not only looking for alternative education options for their children, but they need help as well. For some parents, knowing how to receive support and homeschool their children can make or break the decision to send students to a micro-school or homeschooling co-op. Many parents long to teach their child at home, but need support along the journey. That's where you come in.... Enjoy the show!

Ep 30Ep 30: Tuition, Contracts, Payment Plans, Discounts and Ideas for Your Micro-school, Homeschooling Business or Preschool! Creating a Strong Financial Foundation!

Hey, teacher friend! One of the most frequent questions I get asked from teachers, regarding the start of their business is, "How do I collect tuition for my micro-school, homeschool or homeschooling business? Should I ask for full payments upfront, or do I request payments by the month or semester? What should be in my contract? " Well, let's get into some nitty gritty today! Not only do we have to consider HOW we will collect payments, we need to FIRST identify HOW we will communicate our policy for collecting tuition and ways to set our business up for financial security. In addition, many teachers ask about payment plans, discount packages, incentives for paying in full, deposits, and ways to secure financial assets. These are all so imperative! This is where contracts come in! Yes, today we discuss how contracts can help us communicate effectively and the policies needed for financial security. I also share my experience with collecting tuition payments, options for securing deposits and how to set your business up for success when it comes to all the moving money pieces!

Ep 29: How Do You Keep Student Records in a Homeschooling Business? What are the Requirements for Documenting in a Micro-School?

Hi, teacher friend! As teachers, we all know the requirements for record keeping, grading, progress monitoring and updating all the "system" information for our students. But one of the most frequent questions I get asked about a HOMESCHOOLING BUSINESS or a MICRO-SCHOOL is... "How do you keep records? What does it look like in this new teaching arena?" And let me tell you, teacher friend, IT'S NOTHING like you've had to do before!! Get excited! But also...get informed! And what a great question it is! Not matter what state, country or province you live in, you must follow state guidelines for homeschool requirements and homeschooling other children in your private tutoring business or micro-school. Today I answer some of the most frequent questions I receive in regards to testing, record keeping, grades and so forth! "Do I keep the record, or do the parents?" "Do I have to file annual reporting?" "What does grading look like?" "What are my state Requirements, Laws, and regulations?" If you're new to this and feel overwhelmed with the legalities because you have "Never done this before!" I'm here to help!
