Specialized Teachers = Stronger School [7FMS Ep. #152]

by Daniel Patterson
A little while back we did a live Q&A with listeners of this podcast. We got a number of great questions!

For instance, Chris asked:

“How do I manage teachers with totally different specialties?”

In this episode, we went deep into how to build a team with teachers that specialize in certain types of teaching, different age groups, etc. We also tackled an overlooked truth:

Most schools struggle with hiring because they don’t have a clear hiring system.

Here’s what we cover:

  • The biggest hiring mistake that keeps schools stuck in survival mode
  • How to structure job roles so your teachers stay longer
  • What to do when you don’t have enough students to fill a teacher’s schedule (without scaring them off)

If you’re in the “building a team” phase, you won’t want to miss this episode.
