356: How to Delegate Curriculum Planning and Teaching in Your Microschool: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building Systems, Training a Team, and Scaling Instruction Without Burnout

Are you still teaching every subject, every grade, every day in your microschool?

Whether you're just starting out and feel overwhelmed, ready to bring in an assistant, or completely done with teaching and ready to build a team—this episode is your roadmap.

If you’ve ever thought: 👉 “How do I hand off teaching to someone else?” 👉 “What if my new hire doesn’t know what to do?” 👉 “How can I make this school run without me leading every lesson?” …then this episode is for YOU.

🎯 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why delegation starts with curriculum—not just hiring

• How to avoid burnout by building replicable systems, not redoing lessons every week

• How to choose curriculum that:

  • ✅ Is easy to train others on

  • ✅ Is self-paced or adaptive

  • ✅ Includes clear documentation, guides, and checklists

• The power of using tools like PACE/ACE, portfolios, and adaptive learning software (Reading Eggs, DreamBox, Exact Path) to support multi-age learners and your staff

• How to prepare for hiring by organizing your curriculum in a way that supports growth

• The difference between “teaching everything” and “leading instructional systems”

📚 INSIDE THIS EPISODE, I’LL BREAK IT DOWN FOR THREE TYPES OF MICROSCHOOL LEADERS:

🔹 The Beginner — Starting out, overwhelmed, and trying to figure it all out alone 🔹 The Builder — Ready to hire or train others, but unsure how to hand things off 🔹 The Visionary Leader — No longer wants to teach, but wants to scale a team and lead a school

Each of you has one thing in common: 💡 You need curriculum systems that are clear, teachable, and scalable.

🧠 AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE DOING IN MAY’S CURRICULUM PLANNING DAY

Inside Microschool Masterminds, we’ll be walking through my full Curriculum Clarity Workbook, where you’ll:

✔️ Map out subject-by-subject plans ✔️ Create a curriculum training guide ✔️ Set up systems that support both student independence and staff leadership ✔️ Build a scalable framework that makes growth possible—without burnout

💛 THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You want to stop doing everything yourself

• You’re ready to grow, but your systems aren’t yet ready to scale

• You’ve hired someone before—but felt unsure how to train them

• You’re a visionary educator who wants to build something bigger than just “a one-room schoolhouse”
