Welcome To The Teacher, Let Your Light Shine: Throwback-To-School Series! You are a teacher, a dreamer, and a builder. This new, refreshing month, we are bringing you something special. Our throwbacks series! Featuring hand-picked episodes from the vault that are JUST as powerful now as when they first aired!

August is one of the most transformational, and, let's be honest, intense months for microschool builders. Whether you're gearing up for a launch, onboarding new families, hiring teachers, tweaking curriculum, or just trying to get all of your systems in place...this series is here to ground you, encourage you, and guide you with wisdom that WORKS.

These episodes will have you saying, "I needed this!!" And they are BACK to remind you - you are not alone. You are doing something so bold - and it's worth it. Now, in this month, not only are you able to listen to some of our most listened-to episodes that you may have missed, but you're also able to listen to episodes that you may need some time to catch up on!

At the end of August, we'll be back with brand new episodes, but in the meantime, if you're looking for even MORE clarity, support, and real-time strategy, now is the perfect time to join Microschool Masteminds! We're working through August together; sharing ideas, solving problems, and preparing for your best school year yet - so come be apart of it! Now, onto our Throwback Episode!!

When it comes to choosing curriculum, the idea can be both exciting and overwhelming! How do I choose? What's going to work the best? Self-paced or teacher/parent directed? Will my students enjoy it? Will my child be successful? What if I don't like teaching it or my students hate doing it? What works best for multi-age students?

I see you! I hear you!  That's why, after 3 years, I have a very systematic process that helps me look at choosing curriculum as if it were a project with many moving pieces! I share how I use a project management board, called MeisterTask, to organize my ideas and notes.  In addition, I share how I get the ball moving with very specific questions that allow me to gather enough evidence to make a good decision - even if it's not a perfect one!
