Do you lack committed board members on your leadership team? Is your board lacking unity? Are you wondering why your board is not functioning smoothly? In today’s episode, we want to focus on the characteristics that are necessary to develop as a leader. These biblical principles are characteristics that God calls all Christians to, but especially as leaders, we need to intentionally consider how these principles can help us serve those who are in our communities and also function as a board in a manner that is worthy to be emulated.
Integrity - Titus 2:7 ESV
Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity
Courage - Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Respect - Philippians 2:2-4then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Humility - Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Leaders - have you ever had the experience of hearing about problems in the classroom AFTER the school year is over? You might find out that your teachers are frustrated, your students are misbehaving, your parents are in the dark, and you were totally unaware until it was too late to do anything about it. That is a very frustrating moment. It really might be because you are missing this one crucial piece of the puzzle. What is it? Open lines of communication. If you can promote a culture of open communication between parents and teachers, your co-op will reap great rewards. Stay with us to hear about how you can set up your co-op to promote communication!

It’s August, and it is time to close registration for your homeschool co-op, right? Or do you keep it open because you have families that are interested but have not yet made a decision? Do you allow more people to join at the last minute or even after classes have started? If you are not bursting at the seams, and you want to bolster your numbers, and be available to accept homeschoolers jumping on at the last moment, do you leave your registration open? Today we would like to discuss some of the things you might want to think about when deciding how to manage your registrations and those wishy-washy families that can’t seem to make a decision!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Today we are going to talk about another way you can walk that out - by encouraging your families to teach unique classes. If you haven’t listened to Episode 51 yet, make sure you go back and listen to the why and how to make sure you are hearing from your families. And stick with us today - we hope this discussion will spur some great ideas for you for your own co-op!

Happy End of the Year! Homeschool mama! You made it! Are you SOOOO ready for a break? Us too! It’s so tempting to just put away all the school stuff for the year and not think about anything related to homeschool or community or planning. . . We all need a break. But just closing the books and not looking at or thinking about them again is probably not the best approach to your year end. In this episode, we want to encourage you to take the time needed to end your year well. Now is the time to reflect back on the year and record what went well and what could be improved upon. To give thanks for the growth and look for areas that still need to change. To solicit feedback and process. In this episode, we give some suggestions on how you can end your year well, and truly rest during this break.

Welcome to part 2 of our series about “bad” behavior. In Episode 43 we talked about reframing how you think about behavior. If we approach behavior with the understanding that there are unmet needs of the students, we can connect and interact to set students up for success. If we react from emotion, ourselves as teachers and the students are set up for failure. In today's episode we will share strategies to help prevent unwanted behavior so you can avoid a poor or stressful learning environment and create an environment where your students can thrive.

Do you have students in your co-op with bad behavior? Are your teachers and mentors frustrated with lack of classroom management? Are they feeling helpless? What if I told you that it is in your power to reframe your mindset and turn the situation around. Be ready to be mind-blown in order to make this shift.
How many of you have had a student in your co-op that has become the target of disapproval, has gained the reputation of being a problem, or you have had to lead a classroom where you know you have a student that is going to be disruptive and you don’t know what to do about it. In this episode, we are going to be addressing this very difficult and emotional topic - we would like to give you a different way of looking at what might be called “bad behavior”
Philippians 2:2-4 ESV /Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

How are you doing homeschool mama? Do your kids (and maybe you) have spring fever? Have you been deep in the trenches with your homeschool co-op and are just READY to be done with this year? AND are you already anticipating next year - because it seems like the planning and registering and “need to know what next year is going to look like” comes earlier and earlier each year but you STILL have to finish this year and you have to test your kids and plan for summer and start your garden and ALL THE THINGS! Whew! What’s a homeschooling mom going to do to survive?! Today we hope to take a minute to slow down, take a deep breath, and focus on the Word so we can have a successful, sustainable end-of-the-year plan.
Bible verse: Galatians 6:8-9 says “ A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature will reap destruction, the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
