When teachers experience burnout they don’t have to leave education or suffer alone. Thanks to A.school, teachers have another option. They can keep teaching but start a micro-school or their own private opportunity for students.
In this episode, I talk to Kirk Umbehr of A.school about how they make the logistics easier for teachers to become entrepreneurs. Kirk also shares some of the parallels they’ve seen between teachers and healthcare workers.
Far too many teachers suffer from burnout. They often have to choose between doing what they love and suffering physical or emotional burnout. Some entertain the idea of starting a school but are faced with the logistics of the business side and stall. Kirk and his brother Josh, bring their experience from family medicine to teachers and entrepreneurs everywhere.
