Have you ever dreamt of starting your own school? In this inspiring episode of Kingdom Educators, Dalena Wallace shares her journey as a homeschool mom and the founder of AIM Educational Collaborative, where she empowers homeschool parents and Christian educators to launch innovative learning environments like micro-schools, hybrid schools, and virtual schools. She believes God is calling educators to create faith-centered alternatives to traditional education and emphasizes the role of local churches in supporting these initiatives.
Through her organization, AIM Educational Collaborative, and HERO, (Heartland Education Reformation Organization), Dalena Wallace connects and equips Christian school founders with essential resources. Dalena discusses her upcoming documentary, The Hero Film, which highlights the inspiring journeys of Christian school founders. Additionally, her project includes a scholarship initiative, aiming to help students access these schools with the support of local churches. Dalena emphasizes the vital role local churches can take in supporting these schools through partnerships and funding, viewing them as an extension of their mission efforts. She states, "We want the body of Christ to recognize that they do have a part in this. In a lot of churches, they're missing an opportunity to see this as missions."

Feedback becomes a question about our worth. Preparing for tomorrow turns into trying to prove we’re enough. In this episode of The Connected Educator: Abiding in Jesus, Teaching from His Victory, I share a painful experience from my recent practicum—and how Jesus met me through encouragement, honest conversation, and support as I worked through the hurt. Together, we’ll slow down with Scripture and explore Jesus’ invitation to bring Him what we’re carrying, receive His care, and take our next faithful step with Him. In this episode, we explore:
What does staying connected to Jesus actually look like when students need you and your plans unravel? Friend, you may love Jesus’ invitation to abide in Him—and still wonder what that looks like when a student responds sharply, your lesson goes sideways, or you’ve already said something you regret. In this episode of The Connected Educator: Abiding in Jesus, Teaching from His Victory, we bring abiding into three everyday classroom moments and explore practical ways to receive His wisdom, remember what is true, and respond with Him. We’ll explore:
What would change if you walked into school already secure in how deeply you are loved? Friend, you know Jesus loves you.

In this first full episode of The Connected Educator: Abiding in Jesus, Teaching from His Victory, we slow down with John 15:1–17 and explore Jesus’ invitation to remain in Him, receive His love, and draw from His life throughout our teaching day.
