About this listen

I am so excited about this new series because it’s all about something that so many of you have been asking me about—how to create a successful multi-age classroom.

Now, if you’re listening to this, there’s a good chance you’re either planning to open your microschool or homeschool hybrid this fall, or maybe you’ve already started and you’re feeling that tension. You’re asking yourself questions like:

  • How do I teach different ages at the same time?

  • What curriculum do I choose so I’m not drowning in prep?

  • How do I make sure my older students stay challenged while my younger ones don’t feel left behind?

You’re not alone. I’ve been there. I remember when I first started my microschool, the thought of teaching a 6-year-old and a 10-year-old in the same room at the same time felt almost impossible. I thought I had to plan two, three, sometimes four different lessons for every subject. I was exhausted before I even began.

But here’s what I want you to hear today: multi-age classrooms aren’t something to fear—they are something to embrace. In fact, once you learn how to structure them, they become one of the most life-giving, transformative environments you’ll ever teach in.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about the heart behind multi-age learning—why it works, why it’s so powerful for kids, and why it’s actually going to make your life as a teacher so much better when you lean into it.
