Training World-Class Teachers (w. Alyssa O’Toole) [7FMS Ep. #25]

by Daniel Patterson
 

Earlier this year, Nate and I recorded a number of podcast episodes about hiring teachers.

Today, we dive into a topic that school owners ask…

How do you train your teachers?

To answer this question, we brought on an expert in this topic… One of Grow’s coaches, Alyssa O’Toole.

Alyssa spent SEVEN years designing and perfecting a teacher training system that she uses in her premium music school in downtown Boston.

And today she is going to share principles that you can use to train your teachers to provide a consistent, quality lesson experience for your students.
