Ep 388: Reconnecting to Your Roots as a Microschool Leader: Preventing Burnout, Building Parent & Community Advisory Boards, and Using Personality Frameworks to Grow a Thriving Microschool Culture
As a microschool founder or homeschool hybrid leader, it’s easy to get caught up in curriculum, enrollment, finances, and the daily logistics of running a school—but one of the most powerful growth multipliers you have is reconnecting to your roots and knowing your people. In this episode of the Teacher Let Your Light Shine Podcast, Makenzie Oliver shares how understanding your team’s natural strengths, communication styles, and motivators can prevent burnout, reduce conflict, and build trust in your microschool community. You’ll learn why personality frameworks are a game-changing tool for school leaders, teachers, and even parents as you create alignment and foster a healthy school culture.
We’ll also dive into the difference between creating a Parent Advisory Committee and a Community Advisory Board, how both structures can expand your reach and support, and why finding your tribe is essential for sustainable growth. Plus, Makenzie reveals how her team built an annual engagement board in just two hours, mapping out three months of school events, parent touchpoints, and staff communication that alleviated stress and gave clarity. Whether you’re starting a microschool, leading a homeschool hybrid, or scaling your private school alternative, this episode equips you with practical leadership strategies to build stronger relationships, enhance parent involvement, and plan with purpose.
Inside Microschool Masterminds, members have access to 9 self-serve modules to guide you on your journey of building, growing, and scaling your microschool. Each month brings fresh resources, and for October you’ll receive:
Personality Assessments for students, yourself, your team, and parents
A framework for building a Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and Community Advisory Board (CAB)
An Annual Events and Engagement Framework to keep your community thriving

If you’re ready to root your school in connection, culture, and clarity, this episode and the October Masterminds content will give you the tools and encouragement to lead with confidence.
