355: Why You Keep Changing Curriculum: How to Teach Multiple Grade Levels Without Chaos Using Layered Tasks, Adaptive Learning Tools, and Multi-Age Curriculum Systems That Actually Work

Have you changed your curriculum more times than you can count?

Do you find yourself saying:

“This just isn’t working...” “Maybe I need something different...” “What if this new one is the right fit?”

If that’s you, this episode is going to give you clarity and peace of mind. You’re not flaky. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just trying to make it work without the systems and support you really need.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into:

Why You Keep Changing Curriculum (And What to Do About It)

You’ll learn a practical, powerful framework that helps you teach multiple grade levels in one classroom—without switching programs every six months or draining your budget.

🎯 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• The real reason microschool founders keep changing curriculum

• Why pressure from parents, lack of alignment with your teaching style, and trying to meet everyone’s needs can cause chaos

• What happens when you try to teach without a curriculum system in place

• How to use a proven framework to plan your instruction with confidence: One Subject → Layered Tasks → Different Access Points → Common Goals

• Real examples from a 2nd–4th grade classroom using this approach

• How adaptive learning tools like DreamBox, Reading Eggs, and Exact Path help simplify differentiation

• Why systems like checklists, independent stations, and student ownership are more valuable than just “choosing a new program”
