What Makes My Approach Unique?


What sets me apart from other professional coaches? I don’t just hand you a map—I walk the journey with you, clearing the path and paving the way for your success. While others offer advice, I roll up my sleeves and get involved, turning your vision into a thriving reality. With me, you’re not just guided; you’re empowered, supported, and equipped with everything you need to build something extraordinary.

Most coaches offer you advice and information, but with Discovery Roots Coaching, I go beyond just talking about what you need to do—I’m with you every step of the way, actively involved in executing the most challenging tasks to ensure your co-op’s success.

Here’s how my hands-on approach can transform your vision into reality:

Module 1: Vision and Mission Development
Market Analysis:
Understanding the needs and opportunities in your community is essential. I don’t just tell you how to do a market analysis—I conduct it for you. I’ll research existing co-ops, identify your target audience, and determine the demand for your unique co-op, giving you a clear path forward.

Module 2: Legal and Administrative Foundations
Researching State and Local Laws:
Navigating the legal landscape can be daunting. I handle the heavy lifting by researching the specific homeschooling laws and regulations in your area, ensuring that your co-op is fully compliant with registration, reporting, health, and safety standards, and zoning issues, so you can focus on your passion for education.

Module 3: Financial Planning and Sustainability
Creating a Detailed Financial Plan:
Financial planning is the backbone of a sustainable co-op. I work with you to develop a comprehensive financial plan, including budgeting, pricing strategies, and sustainable funding models. I’ll research typical costs, identify funding sources, and create financial projections, making sure your co-op is financially sound from day one.

Module 4: Curriculum Development and Selection
Choosing a Curriculum:
Selecting the right curriculum is critical to your co-op’s success. I don’t just give you a list of options—I dive deep into the research, exploring various educational philosophies, methods, and resources to help you choose or design a curriculum that aligns perfectly with your co-op’s vision and educational goals.

Module 5: Location and Facility Management
Securing a Suitable Location:
Finding the right location can be a complex and time-consuming process. I’m here to take on this challenge for you, conducting site visits, negotiating with property owners, and ensuring the facility complies with all legal and safety standards, so you have the perfect space to nurture your community.

Module 6: Recruitment and Community Building
Developing a Recruitment Strategy:
Building a thriving community starts with effective recruitment. I don’t just advise you on strategies—I help you craft compelling marketing materials, develop outreach programs, and create a recruitment strategy that attracts the right families and staff to your co-op, ensuring a strong, engaged community.

Module 7: Program Design and Scheduling
Designing a Comprehensive Program Schedule:
Balancing academic, social, and extracurricular activities is key to a successful co-op. I assist in developing a detailed, customized schedule that meets the educational goals of your community while accommodating the needs and availability of your families, ensuring a well-rounded program.

Module 8: Marketing and Outreach
Conducting Competitive Analysis:
Standing out in a crowded market requires a clear understanding of your competition. I’ll perform a comprehensive competitive analysis to identify what other co-ops and educational services offer, helping you craft a unique marketing message that sets your co-op apart and attracts the right families.

Module 9: Operations and Logistics
Developing Operational Procedures:
Running a smooth operation is essential for long-term success. I work with you to establish clear, efficient operational procedures for communication, record-keeping, health and safety protocols, and resource management, ensuring your co-op runs like a well-oiled machine.

Module 10: Evaluation and Growth Strategies
Creating a Growth Plan:
Thinking ahead is crucial for sustainability. I assist in developing a long-term growth strategy that includes expanding services, increasing membership, or even scaling to new locations. I’ll help you conduct strategic planning, research potential partnerships, and secure additional funding, setting your co-op up for ongoing success.

Together, we’ll ensure that your homeschool co-op or microschool is not only productive and successful but also a thriving community that makes a meaningful impact.

Meet Your Coach: Guiding You on Your Discovery Roots Journey

 

Welcome to Discovery Roots Coaching! I'm Amber Thompson, a seasoned educator and passionate advocate for collaborative learning. With a rich background in alternative education and a deep commitment to building community, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals like you create thriving, purpose-driven co-ops. My mission is to empower you to build an enriching, sustainable cooperative that benefits your family and your community.

At Discovery Roots Coaching, I combine my expertise in cooperative development with practical business strategies, providing you with the tools and support needed to grow a successful co-op. Together, we'll cultivate an experience rooted in collaboration, discovery, and community, setting the foundation for a fulfilling and impactful journey.

Let’s embark on this adventure together, where your passion for community-building meets practical guidance.

For Discovery Roots, my coaching approach integrates both digital handouts and live coaching sessions to provide a comprehensive and supportive experience for those building their own co-ops. Here’s how it works:

Digital Handouts

Resource-Rich Content: I provide detailed digital handouts that cover essential topics, such as starting a co-op, planning collaborative activities, and managing group logistics. These handouts are packed with actionable tips, checklists, templates, and examples that you can refer to at your own pace.

Step-by-Step Guides: Each handout is designed to guide you through specific processes, from setting up your co-op’s structure to creating engaging activities for members. They’re intended to be practical tools that you can easily apply to your co-op.

Visual Aids and Infographics: To make complex concepts easier to grasp, I include visual aids and infographics in the handouts. These help break down information into clear, digestible pieces, making it easier to implement the strategies.

Downloadable and Printable: The handouts are available for download, so you can print them out and keep them handy for quick reference as you work on your co-op.

Live Coaching Sessions

Interactive Learning: During live coaching sessions, I provide personalized guidance and support. These sessions are interactive, allowing you to ask questions, share your progress, and receive real-time feedback.

Tailored Advice: I focus on your unique needs and challenges, offering tailored advice that aligns with your vision for your co-op. Whether you’re dealing with enrollment issues or looking for creative ways to engage your members, I’m here to help.

Collaborative Problem-Solving: We’ll work together to address any obstacles you encounter. The live format allows us to brainstorm solutions and explore new ideas, ensuring you have the confidence and tools to move forward.

Community Building: These sessions also provide an opportunity to connect with others who are on the same journey. You can share experiences, exchange ideas, and build a supportive network within the Discovery Roots community.

Combining Both Approaches

Preparation and Application: The digital handouts serve as your foundation, giving you the knowledge and resources to start building your co-op. The live coaching sessions then bring that information to life, helping you apply what you’ve learned in a way that’s customized to your specific situation.

Continuous Support: This dual approach ensures that you’re never alone in the process. You can study the handouts at your convenience and then bring any questions or concerns to our live sessions, where we can work through them together.

By combining the structure and depth of digital handouts with the dynamic, personalized nature of live coaching, Discovery Roots provides a well-rounded, empowering experience that helps you successfully create and manage your own co-op, no matter the focus.
