The short answer is no. Although credentials are helpful in attracting families, especially a college degree, just about anyone who loves mentoring kids can be an effective learning coach. As far as subject expertise, the Internet and eLearning tools provide an incredible array of resources for educating children in areas both inside and outside your expertise. And if you want a little more structure and support, consider joining programs like KaiPod Catalyst. The program not only guides you step-by-step through the process of opening your microschool but also makes you a KaiPod partner microschool, something that families might appreciate.
