Listen "What to Look for in Hiring Your Dream Teacher (It's Not Just Experience!)"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is going to be one of those "ah-ha" moments that completely shifts the way you think about building your team. Now if you're anything like I was when I first started hiring, you might be thinking: "Do I need to find someone with classroom experience?" "Should I only hire certified teachers?" "What if they've never taught multiple grades before?" "How do I know if they'll actually fit with our unique program?" Here's the truth: Years of experience and a fancy resume are NOT what makes someone your dream teacher. Now don't get me wrong—those things can help. But if that's all you're looking for? You might end up hiring someone who looks great on paper but doesn't align with your vision, mission, or the kind of culture you're trying to create. So today we're going to talk about the real qualities to look for when hiring—especially in a microschool, homeschool hybrid, or tutoring business, where flexibility, alignment, and culture matter more than ever. This is especially important for those of you building programs with multi-age learners, smaller student groups, or nontraditional teaching environments. The wrong hire can bring resistance, burnout, and tension… but the right hire? They'll bring life, peace, joy, and support. So whether you're just starting to build your team or you're re-evaluating what kind of teachers you really want beside you—this episode is going to give you clarity and direction.
