Do you have too many plates spinning? Do you wear too many hats in running your homeschool program? Jamie Buckland, a homeschool leader from West Virginia started Appalachia Classical Academy and knows where you are coming from! In this podcast (17 minutes) Jamie explains to host Carol Topp how she is working herself out of a job.
Some of her advice includes:
- Listen to your staff (employees or volunteers)
- Give opportunity for feedback
- Welcome correction and be open
- Let them own it. This can apply to hired teacher, volunteers or board members
- Trust the process and your people
