We are Starting a Learner Driven, Multi-Ethnic Micro School

If you are new to listening to the All Things Are Possible Teacher Podcast, you probably know that I am a literacy coach, but you might not know I'm also a homeschool Mama. March/April is around the time when I start planning the next school for my son. But this year we have decided to do school differently. Yes, I am so excited about this. This is something I've been dreaming about since before my son was even born. I have been writing down all of these dreams  in my handy dandy notebook over the years.  My dad, who has been a school administrator and now a 7th grade ELA teacher, has been dreaming about this even longer than I have. A couple of months ago, I told my husband… I believe with my whole heart, that the time is now to make this dream become a reality.  But this isn't going to be like any typical traditional school. We want our son and his soon-to-be peers to experience a learning transformation that sparks curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. We want them to take charge of their own learning and have tons of fun while doing it. We believe every child has dreams, passions, and purpose to discover as they grow up so they will be the next one to change the world. Every child, no matter their ethnicity, needs to see what greatness and success could look like from people who look just like them. And we are on a mission to make all of this a reality at our micro school.  I'm excited to introduce our learner driven school called Kingdom Seed Christian Academy. In this episode, we will chat about: Why we are starting a micro school What would be my DREAM school for my son and community Our vision and 5 core beliefs for our micro school How we are going to transform it it into a learner driven community The kind of learning environment we desire to cultivate What seeds of transformational learning we would like to sow in every child who attends Kingdom Seed Christian Academy What makes our micro school so unique from any other school out there Are you ready to get started?
