183: Do These 2 Things Before Choosing a Curriculum For Your Microschool, Homeschool or Teaching Business! Beat Procrastination and Overwhelm Starting NOW!

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!

163: How to Push Through When You Feel Like Quitting, 💔Face Setbacks 😔 or Can’t See Your Dream Come to Pass as a Teacher Entrepreneur

We all experience pain, difficulties, setbacks, and failed attempts. You're not alone. It's not too late to become all you have created to be.  I know what it feels like to believe it something and it hasn't come to pass. And, I too, must always keep my hopes up and eye on the vision. Your dream is not dead. It just isn't in season yet, my friend. But lack is not your destiny. In this podcast, I share my testimony of wanting to give up, facing setbacks, being crippled by fear and having to wait to see the dream come to pass. And here's the REAL DEAL-I'm still waiting on seeing things come to pass. So if you are wondering why you haven't experienced the breakthrough you've been waiting and praying for, I know what this feels like. But I set in a place of expectation WITH YOU! Just because your dream hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't.  Life has a way of pushing our dreams down.  You have so many plans and dreams buried on the inside. It's still in you. Shake off the doubt, the negativity. It's time to get back into position. It's time to take back your mindset and get into action. This is your year to conquer dreams and breakthrough to new beginnings. Anybody can give up. Anybody can get overwhelmed. You are not weak- you are well able.   Let Your Light Shine, Business Bundle 20% off LAST DISCOUNT EVER!  www.teachersletyourlightshine.com/shop Join Our Facebook Group for “Tip Tuesdays”, a support community and the “best place on the internet corner” https://www.facebook.com/groups/teacherletyourlightshine Book a Clarity Coaching Session: www.teachersletyourlightshine.com/coaching Get started on your dream school right now!

133:Making Money and Embracing a Financial Freedom Mindset as a Teacher Entrepreneur! 6 Habits and Ideas to Manage Money and Become Aware of Your Numbers

Hey, teacher friend! I know exactly how it feels to say goodbye to the secure income stream, monthly pay check, retirement and health insurance. And trust me, the decision wasn't easy. I was holding on to this security for a very long time. In fact, the scarcity mindset was holding me hostage in a position that did not allow me to break free and become the mom and teacher I wanted to be. After much reading, researching and mindset work, I found a way to create a mindset that allows for growth and financial freedom.  And while financial freedom may look different to each of us, I'm here to share the work I did to prepare myself for change, the habits I embraced and the people I aspire to be in motherhood, work and teaching!

125: Field Trips in Your Micro-school or Homeschool! 5 Tips for Engaged Learning, FUN Project Based Learning Connections and Outdoor Learning with Enhanced Student Engagement

Let’s admit it…who really wants to be stuck within 4 walls each day? Wouldn’t it be so great to take learning outdoors, go on field trips, connect project based learning to real life experiences, and bring on fun student engagement activities?  Being able to take learning beyond four walls is a wonderful blessing-not just for your students, but for you as the teacher and parent as well! Having your own microschool, learning pod or homeschooling business allows for so much diversity and engagement. After all, this is one of the main reasons others enjoy this type of learning- the possibilities and flexibility!  No matter how large or small your group is (and not matter if it’s just you and your own children right now) let’s get inspired, start planning and dreaming of the day you can travel and teach these fun kiddos!  In today’s episode, I address 5 key takeaways for preparing field trips! These are often questions I receive in our Facebook group, and the topics are super valuable!!  We discuss transportation, chaperones, insurance, money and budgets, planning, safety, and many other fun topics!

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! We’ve got step-by-step instructions to help you write powerful marketing brochures, enrollment forms, introductory packets, and so much more! You’ll also find easy-to-use templates made to simplify your creation process, as well as beautiful real-life examples used by my micro-school, Lighthouse Learning, to give you creative inspiration when designing your very own forms.  You will be able to seal the deal with peace and clarity when you hand deliver your new handbook and contract.  Tune in to today's episode to find out more and head over to our shop to purchase your documents at www.teachersletyourlightshine.com/shop Let Your Light Shine, Makenzie Oliver Do you need help with a plan of action, accountability,  or clarity in your teacher career change?

EP 58: 5️⃣ Lessons I Learned While Leaving Public School Scared and Overwhelmed, Becoming a Homeschool Mom and A Micro-School Teacher💙 Finding Courage in the Unknown

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!

Although many teachers would love to have their own business, become a teacherpreneur or invest in their future selves, they lack the preparedness to move forward in beginning their micro-school, tutoring or homeschooling business. Searching for teacher career change needs careful thought, attention and intentionality. In each episode, you will discover what needs to be defeated in order to be successful at your upcoming teacher career change. You will become more aware of what's "blocking" you, so you can step into true teacher freedom and true purpose for success and fulfillment. Your Challenge: Print out the GPS Planning System Below!

Ep 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!  This episode supports STEP 4 in   "8 Steps to Building Your Micro-school or Homeschooling Business" teachersletyourlightshine.com/roadmap   Download your FREE GUIDE!!!   Let Your Light Shine, Makenzie Oliver Download your FREE GUIDE  "8 Steps to Building Your Micro-school or Homeschooling Business" teachersletyourlightshine.com/roadmap Join our email list to be the FIRST to know about our FREE Resources and podcast alerts!

How did you decide?”  Well this topic, LIGHTS ME UP!  We all know that the DEATH TRAP of a teacher’s JOY is not being able to teach what we feel matters or makes a difference in our students' lives!  Teaching to standards and measures beyond our means can lead to stealing  our joy and ultimately destroys the love for what we do! Have you ever said, "The curriculum we follow doesn’t allow us to XYZ.  Your child is performing well below grade level and the curriculum is going at such a pace, it increasing the gap further." or  "The curriculum or the standards causing us to be “trapped” in a box!" Well, it's absolutely liberating to know that YOU GET TO CHOOSE the curriculum for your micro-school or homeschool! Today we focus on high value education, choosing curriculum with meaning and knowing "Why" we are choosing a certain method or movement to ensure we are teaching with passion and expertise! This is a good one! Get out your notebook!

Ep 23: Taking the Fear Out of Finding Students for Your Micro-School or Homeschooling Business! Simple Advertising Techniques for Teachers!

Hey, Teacher Friend! "Help! I am NOT a salesman...I am a Teacher!" This is what I hear often when I speak with teachers who are anticipating their first micro-school opening, and are afraid to get his/her first clients/students.  They often ask, "How Do I find my first set of students? What do I do? I need action steps!"  I can relate. I felt the same way!  But the good news is...there is no need to fear, act "salesy", or hustle to find your first paying clients.   In today's episode, I discuss the action steps I took to take the scare out of trying to start a business and then go find your clients.  Advertising is an important part to opening your doors and ensuring students come.  However, it's not the hardest part of this journey-it's the most rewarding.  If you think I stood out on the street with signs, or had banners waving outside my house...no!  I didn’t have a yard sign. I used THE MOST powerful tool to get our fabulous students-one in which we all have.  Tune in to see what it is!   Let Your Light Shine, Makenzie Oliver Check out our free resources and gain more insight for building micro schools!  www.teachersletyourlightshine.com Need help getting started with your micro-school?

Are you rushing out the door only to realize you can’t find your keys, left your lunchbox or forgot to tell the ones you love “goodbye”?   Are your weekends full of grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning or feeling as if you need a couple of extra days to “get it all done”?  Are you truly resting?  Do you feel prepared before your week begins?  Not only are we seeking “more time” as a teacher, but we are seeking QUALITY of time-the quality that results in peace, enjoyable moments and more opportunities for the people and experiences we care deeply about.     Let’s be more intentional about our most precious resource in life-TIME!

Ep 14: Frustrated with Teaching to the Test? Tired of Unrealistic Expectations? There is Hope! Your Courage is Needed!

Hey, Teacher Friend!   If you were to Google "Test Prep" "Tired of Teaching to the Test" "Teachers with Unrealistic Expectations" you might as well just take a deep breath-it's all over the internet!  Tired of conforming? Tired of saying "I'm no longer going to worry about these formative assessments, all of this testing or my evaluations. I'm going to focus on the students!"  But you find yourself, over and over again, sinking back into fear and frantically preparing for all the things we know are keeping us chained? Teachers know this isn't high value teaching, and parents want more for their child.  However, dissatisfaction doesn't seem to be a big enough motivator for change.  Especially when you hear the voice of fear whispering throughout your day, "It is what it is. Don't even think about bucking the system. Do you really think you can do better?" But you can do better. Our children deserve better. You, teacher friend, know what's better because YOU have the ultimate gift. But do you know HOW to do better?  Listen up, teacher friend, your courage is needed!
