Facilitators
You can already see it.
The children around you are missing something school was never built to give them. You watch them compensating, and you watch their parents worrying without knowing what they're looking at.
You have the eyes for this work, and probably the families too. What you haven't had is a structure to build on.
Most adults see play that needs supervising.
You see balance, negotiation and focus being built in front of you, and you know which seed each child is working on and how to feed it without turning the morning into a lesson.
Most facilitators were never teachers.
They were already standing somewhere children gather, watching more closely than anyone around them.
You run playgroup, gym or movement classes. You see forty children a week and you know which ones are wobbling long before their parents do.
Do you want the language for what you're seeing?
You hold a worldschool or homeschool community together. Families already come to you asking how to do this properly.
Do you want something you can hand them?
You want your children raised this way, and a community and an income growing around the same work. Other people's kids already end up at your kitchen table.
Have you thought about what that could become?
You teach, and you're done pretending the system serves the children in front of you. You already know which five in your class are compensating their way through the year.
Do you want to know what to do with what you see?
"In every group I teach there's someone who says nothing all week. When I finally ask them to share whatever is in their head, they say something that stops the whole room. They walked in believing they had nothing to offer. If that's the voice in your head right now, I've met it many times before, and it has been wrong every time."
BeAta Fuller
From watching your teaching to watching their learning.
There's a teacher in a documentary who had spent decades in classrooms when her school moved to a more fluid way of working. She said: when they first told me to do things differently, my first thought was, I don't even know what these children are learning now. Then she realised she didn't know what they were learning before either.
That is the shift this work trains. Once you can see what a child is building, you can work with it anywhere: a kitchen table, a backyard, a studio, a paddock, a classroom.
A Wisdom Hive. Small, local, yours.
A Wisdom Hive is a small local hub where the 7 Seeds of Success® framework is lived, not just taught: a playgroup, a homeschool circle, a centre, a few families who gather at your place every week because their children grow well there.
Hives run wherever their facilitators live: a suburb here in Australia, a town in Germany, a worldschool hub that moves with its families. Children develop the same way everywhere, so the framework travels.
Some facilitators run their Hive as a business. Others fold the framework into work that already exists: a classroom, a clinic, a movement studio.
It starts with Foundations for Life. One year, then a mentored path.
You learn it by living it
Twelve months, with a 10-day in-person intensive at its centre, a year of group calls around it, and the "Raise Brilliant Kids" online program included. There are no fixed dates and no venue on a flyer: once three or more families commit, the founding cohort chooses dates and a location together, and BeAta travels to the cohort. The group calls are online, so the rest of the year works from wherever you live.
Year one is the same for everyone. Parents learn through their own children, who come with them. Facilitators learn through immersion and practice during the in-person days. You don't need your own children to train, and you'll work closely with the families' children throughout.
At the end of this you can see what a child is building. That is the whole skill.
You practise with someone behind you
Those who want to facilitate move into a mentored path shaped around where you are by then. You won't be left without a route. The next step is designed with you, not sold to you before you're ready.
At the end of this you are running sessions, and they are working.
Your Wisdom Hive stands
Your own, in your own place, with the framework under it, a year of practice behind you, and this site doing the explaining to the parents around you. Starting with the free ebook, the twenty-minute explainer you'll be handing them.
At the end of this you are the person other parents in your town come to.
The shape of the year
- Length
- 12 months
- In person
- 10 days, once, in a place your cohort chooses together
- Between times
- Group calls, online, from wherever you live
- Your children
- With you, on purpose. You don't need children of your own to train.
- Entry
- By application. Up to six families in the founding cohort.
- Investment
- One founding price, set out on the Training page
This is not for everyone.
It works better if you know that before you write to us, so here it is plainly.
This will fit you if
- You would rather learn to see children than learn to deliver lessons
- You are willing to be watched working, and to watch others
- You want your own children in the room while you learn
- You can give ten days in one block within the next twelve months
- You want to build something local and small rather than scale something fast
This will not fit you if
- You want a curriculum with lesson plans and worksheets. 7 Seeds is not a curriculum and never becomes one.
- You want a certificate for a CV without changing how you work
- You want to run this online only. The work happens in a room with children in it.
- You want a diagnosis or a label for a child. This framework never gives one.
- You want fixed dates on a flyer. The cohort sets them together, and that is the point.
Not ready to facilitate? Start with Raise Brilliant Kids and come back when you are. Everyone in the founding cohort gets it anyway.
Already running a school, a centre, a program?
Some facilitators don't start from scratch. They bring the framework into a school, an early-learning centre or a program that already has children in it. The same goes if you'd come with colleagues rather than alone.
Tell us what you run and what you're seeing in your children, and BeAta will point you to the right door.
Email hello@wisdomeducation.org →Apply for the founding cohort.
The application takes about five minutes, and there are no right answers, only yours. If part of you is still asking whether you're the kind of person this fits, put that in the application too. BeAta reads every one, and we'll be in touch within a few days.
