Have a reluctant reader? We all know how important it is for our children to read, and one question I'm always asked is, "What do you use for reading curriculum in your microschool"? From public school teacher to homeschool mom and micro-school builder, I've learned a thing or two that has completely changed my view on Reading and How I teach children to fall in love with books!
In today's episode, I share how I will use the "Not Consumed" Reading Journal to Spark the Love of Reading with my own child and other students In our microschool. You can use a variation of these ideas in your homeschool or learning pod to foster Student Choice and Writing.

Building your own business, especially for the first time, engages you in many experiences you have yet to go through in life. Many people often ask, "What's something that's happened you didn't realize would?" I've learned a lot of lessons in building a micro-school and homeschooling for the first time. I want to share this valuable lesson with you!
When I look back on the first two years of our micro-school, I am amazed at all the progress, hard work and effort it has taken to get this far. I know you will feel the same as you break ground on a dream or moment that you never felt could possibly happen.

No matter if you are a homeschool mom, micro-school teacher or learning pod coordinator, curriculum choices are always important and very time consuming!
In today's episode, I share the curriculum choice I am using in our micro-school to support project based learning, science, social studies, history, geography and faith based principles! Gather Round has been available to many homeschool families, but now that learning pods and micro-schools have taken the nation by storm, they are multi functional for many businesses and learning opportunities!

When it comes to starting your own business, such as a micro-school, it can seem like such a "right now" decision. The same holds true for homeschooling. But what if the decision to do both of these actually leave a legacy far greater than you could ever imagine? What is the greatest benefit of starting a micro-school, learning pod, homeschooling business or even homeschooling your children? As teachers and parents decide to take education into their own hands, many benefits come with the return on their investment.

One of the most frequent questions I am asked pertains to curriculum choice, and because curriculum is one of the main pillars of your homeschool or micro-school, we must take time to make a good decision when it comes to the materials we use to teach our children!
In today's episode, I share the two biggest curriculum choice mistakes I have made that cost me time, energy, space and peace. I hope you will walk away with a better understanding of WHAT NOT TO DO so you can have a great school year full of passion, peace and profit!

It’s time to ReDream Education!
My name is Makenzie Oliver. Microschool founder, VELA connector, educator, coach, and believer in the power of starting small, dreaming boldly, and rebuilding the future of education one courageous step at a time.
If you're here, it's because something in your life, your classroom, your family, your child, or your community, is asking for a new dream. A wiser dream. A ReDream. With ReDream Education, we challenge the old models, we rethink what learning can be, and we build innovative pathways for children, families, and communities.
In this weekly podcast, in our Facebook group, in our blog, and in our membership program, you will will gain systems, strategies, stories, and soul work you need to design personalized learning, understand how education is changing for the better, start or scale a micro-school, lead with confidence, make a change for your family, and create an education model that actually works for today's world; because you aren't just dreaming of something different - you are building it.
This is a place where we reinvision what school can be, reimagine how children learn, and rebuild the systems that were never designed to meet the needs of our future and current generation. With ReDream Education, we share insights, strategies, stories, and tools to teach our children better, transform learning at home, support innovative education models, and invest financially or personally in the future of students everywhere.
Because you aren't just dreaming about a better education, you are part of the movement to create.
This is where the future begins.
