Hi, Christina, so nice to be talking with you.


Christina Pipkin  0:46  

Thank you for having me. Nice to meet you, Lily. 


Lily Jones  0:48  

Absolutely. So can you tell us about your journey as an educator? 


Christina Pipkin  0:52  

Yeah, so I think it starts way back before I was even an adult. Education has always been something very important to me, and I remember, you know, babysitting and tutoring and doing all the things volunteering, just because I first am a lifelong learner, and then next, I'm the educator. So after I went to Spelman College in Atlanta for my undergrad and did childhood development as my my major, and immediately after graduation, started teaching. I am from Texas. I guess I should qualify myself where I live. So I moved back home after college to Houston area and started working in the Fort Bend ISD school district where I taught second grade self contained so all content areas, and that was the most wonderful way to start my teaching career, just because that's a perfect age group for me, I found out what my niche is. I definitely like, you know, second, third grade is my prime area. I like the littles, right? Kinder first, but there's something about just that still being very impressionable, but they kind of have the basics down, like they know how to tie their shoes, right? They know how to let you know when they're not feeling okay. They can just have a bit more self awareness to tell you to help them out. And so I taught there for about five years, and then I transitioned to a different school district, Cypress Fairbanks ISD, where I taught third grade, ela reading social studies. And that was a lovely experience as well. So after that, I did transition into education technology, so ed tech for several years, that's the last kind of career that I've had. So I was in ed tech for maybe about 10 or so years, nine ish, actually. And so I started to work with personalized learning solutions for school districts, helping with the implementation from the district down perspective. So this was kind of early on where it was just technology integration versus blended learning or hybrid learning. This was just, hey, I have a device. I have a computer in my classroom. I have iPads. What am I supposed to do with them? And working with companies like McGraw Hill and mind education. It was mind Research Institute when I was there, just the different softwares and products that can help teachers really have personalized learning solutions for their students. And I had a different kind. It was a different kind of feel right, like I had the feels from a classroom of the kiddos. But then there's a different kind of feel of being able to support a teacher, be a partner with them, and then support at the district level, you know, helping an initiative, helping them to see through where the kinks could be, where the possibilities are, how they can really grow and scale it. And so I did really enjoy ed tech as well. But fast forwarding, during that time, I got my masters in curriculum and instruction with instructional technology, and I did that. I graduated right during covid, so I didn't actually have a proper graduation, which I felt a little bit cheated. So those kiddos that didn't get it like, I get it right, like I felt that I understand that, but that was just it was a different time, and so I knew that education, and the schools, the classroom teachers, all of that, was going to shift extremely moving forward, not just during covid. And I think we've seen that right? We've seen that trend that it's still changing. We're still trying to adjust. We're still trying to figure out, Is there space to still offer hybrid solutions, like you have the K 12 schools online so fully online options, and it's just been one of those that is, where is the gap that's truly not being met? And how can I. To be of service to those areas. And so I was kind of loosely looking for opportunities, not really committed to what I wanted to do next, but I knew that there was something shifting in me personally, that I needed to identify my next career move. And so I just started asking a very spiritual person. So I just started asking God in the universe, like I know what I want it to feel like. I don't know what it's supposed to look like, but where do you want me to go next? And I've wanted to open a school since at least junior year in undergrad. I feel like before that, but for sure, at that point, I knew I wanted a school. And so when I left the classroom, I said, God, the only way I'm going back is if it's my own school, and be careful what you ask for, right? And so fast forwarding, about 12 years later, I'm opening a school. So I was able to connect with David and joy through change, maker education, and they are definitely a godsend, because they are helping with so many of the things that I would have used as an excuse as to not start sure yes, because all of these learning curves, all the things Around policies, around budget, around hiring, around curriculum, I mean, the list goes on and on. Of all the things that could be like, Nope, that's too difficult. I don't want to do it. And they have truly made it to where it's a no brainer, right? Like, this is the total next step for me. This is, I believe this so hard. I'm currently getting my doctorate in education, leadership, technology, and I'm more anxious about my dissertation than I am about starting a school like that gives me calm and peace and reprieve, and the idea of like defending a dissertation gives me anxiety. I feel my heart and my throat every day, okay, just like it's a lot. So I just know I say that to say that I know that this is my journey, this is my path, and I trust that everything is going to work out. So that's the long and the short of how I've gotten here, of opening my own micro school.


Lily Jones  7:17  

So fantastic, and congratulations. I mean, on all of those things, on trusting this vision of what you wanted to do next, even before it was fully formed, and following it through, and having that trust and perseverance and finding the right people to connect with, and getting your dissertation done, you know, all the things like, congratulations. That's all amazing. And I would love to hear more about your school like, what's it called? What's the vision? How's it different?


Christina Pipkin  7:44  

I love that. Thank you for asking. So my school name is Fay Learning Center, and Fay is actually a very important name. My sister and I, we made a pact years ago that we were going to name our daughters after our grandmothers. So she named my niece her middle name. Her name is Kelly, Jane. So Jane from our maternal grandmother, and I had my we had our paternal grandmother, and I never had children, and I'm totally at peace with that. That is not my ministry, I'm okay with being a great auntie, like I'm fantastic. I'm a fantastic auntie, but I never had kids of my own too. I mean, yes, exactly, right. Great Teacher, educator, and I love on all the babies, just I don't need to birth one of my own to be able to give that mothering, motherly and nurturing energy to them. So Faye is my paternal grandmother's name, and so it's very important to me that this is grounded in family and community and just truly understanding the idea of a village and a network. And so Faye stands for fostering and advancing youth excellence. So it's a school that is centered around Kinder through fifth grade or five to 11 year olds that is going to have a project based learning approach with STEM incorporations, and it's truly going to allow for the student to be met where they are. I don't necessarily, you know, want it to be a very specific type of child, but I do have an ideal kind of situation that I would want to create for the child, right? So thinking about the kiddos that wiggle but they're getting their work done, they just need to move. Thinking about a child that hates writing or public speaking, but if you put a dinosaur book or cars or whatever in front of them, they can go on and on and on. So how do we really tap into the brilliance of those kiddos? Right? How do we that might have a little bit of social anxiety they don't really know how to interact with other kids? But they they long for it. They just don't have the language or the capacity to do it on their own. Thinking about children that might come from a different type of family environment and different type of household. Maybe they have two mommies, two daddies. What does that look like for them? You know, how do we create a safe environment and safe space for students, regardless of what their background is like, and specifically in Texas, things like social emotional learning, those are all negative buzz words, right? But those are so critical, especially at the young age that I want to support. How do we really help with regulating your body, regulating your moods, helping to truly understand the feelings that you have, understanding how to interact and express yourself. And I think it's so lovely because you understand exactly what I'm talking about with your support, with change maker and the mind, body, soul curriculum like that's one of the perks of being a part of change maker education, is being able to have this curriculum that's designed just for that portion of the child, right? The holistic learning, meeting every need that they have, and then also making it a comfortable family environment, like I definitely want to have, you know, opportunities for I would call it from my undergrad, we called it market Fridays, where you're just kind of having a sharing of goods, right? Like whatever you've created that week, whatever you know is of your interest that you want to share with each other. Want to have movie nights, you know, different kind of game situations where parents and families can come and be a part of it. It's really going to be a family environment. My sister and mom are definitely going to be working at the school with me, so that's huge to be able to have not just to say it, but to actually practice it, by having such a family connection to the school. So yeah, it's in Cypress Texas, which is, you know, a suburb of Houston, and it's really going to be a space that students can express themselves, can grow, can unlock that inner magic. What is it that makes you special? We want to highlight and exemplify that, and we don't want it to be so focused on the test, right the assessment piece, but the application. How do you apply these in real life situations. How do you take this love that you have for dinosaurs? How do you make that applicable to the animals that we have now, right? Do you want to be a zoologist like, what is it that really makes you tick, and how can we cater to that? And I think the way that we are going to be able to do that and be different is our class sizes. Right? With the micro school, it's intended to stay small. So this first year, you know, anywhere between 20 and 25 kiddos is what we are going to kind of cap it at. And so with that, we can have a class of 10 kids, right? This is going to be multi age, multi grade. So you're not going to just be stuck in this second grade curriculum. If you are advanced in reading but need a little bit more support in math, you are going to have that catered plan just for you, and it's going to allow you to really grow beyond the restraints of this is a standard. This is only what you have to do. We want to really prepare them for success. And so starting off, just because of my background being in primary education, I will be teaching, and I I am open to expanding to grades right especially if I get the right support systems and the right people to kind of drive the curriculum and awesome teachers that understand the vision and the mission I am open to expanding as we grow and as the years go on,


Lily Jones  13:46  

So exciting. I love all of that. And really, I mean, I resonate with so much of what you said. Being a teacher, I feel like some of the hardest parts was just not having the capacity to meet kids where they are, and not be able to work within this existing structure of a giant public school to give kids what they really needed. And so I appreciate all that you said. Of like, from the wiggles, which I taught kindergarten, like, I know what that's like, yeah? And like, the freedom to take your interests and not be, like, talked out of them, you know, like, yeah, often kids come everyone is learning all the time in their lives, right? Like, kids come to school, they're excited, they're curious, and then we put them in the box. Yes, we tell them they have to be on one track. And that doesn't work like that's not how humans learn, right? And so I appreciate what you're doing of really giving students all a chance to be their unique selves and be supported to really thrive as their unique self. And I think all the components of the environment that you're setting up, I can see that being really helpful, from the small class sizes to the family and community component like all of that, really lifts up the kids there. So I'm excited to see how it takes shape.


Christina Pipkin  14:57  

Yeah, it's been a very rewarding journey. I think one part about this process, that lack of better words, I was surprised about, not necessarily a negative surprise. It was a very pleasant surprise. But it's the self exploration that I have to do. There's a lot of unlearning of just what worth is, right? Because one part that I forgot to mention is that when I started this journey of opening my micro school, I left my corporate job, I walked away. And, I mean, there was other life events that were happening. My dad had surgery, and, you know, helping him out. So it just felt right. It felt like the universe was telling me this is the right next move for you. So it's really betting on yourself right and then determining that you're going to be so focused, so dedicated, that this is your mission, and you're relentless to making sure it happens. I was talking to one of my best friends, and I was working through some of the things that I was really anxious about in the moment. And she's like, I wouldn't have even been anxious about those things. Like, I would be anxious about, is it actually happening? I'm like, Oh, girl, that's the only thing I'm confident about. Like, I know, right? Like, that's a no brainer. I know for sure this is happening. I know this is my destiny. I know this is what I'm supposed to be doing. It's just all the details, right? I don't want to get hung up on the details of the when and the how. I just want to be open. And one thing that David says is, you know, be open to everything tied to nothing. And I've been kind of keeping that on loop, right? I'm looking at all the different possibilities as opportunities, and I've been really able to, like, tune into myself, to do a gut check and listen to how my body responds in a situation. So if it's giving me a negative response and there's resistance and it's really clunky, that's probably not the path for me, right? But if it's just kind of effortless and flowing and, you know, just the alignment is there and it feels right. Then I just kind of keep pushing forward. You know, just every day I'm just pushing forward and so getting out of the space and the noise of everyone else, because people, you know, love you and want to support you, but if they're not on journey with you and see the vision, it's hard for them to understand your daily wins, right? So for like, family and friends, the first thing they ask is like, how many enrollments Do you have? Right? And so for me, I'm like, Oh, I'm not at capacity yet, or I don't have a wait list yet. And they're like, Oh, okay. And they kind of, you know, just move on to the next thing. But it's like, but all these other great things I just did, like, I just did this and this and this, right? And it's just one of those that you have to celebrate yourself. I'm very grateful for the cohort with change maker education, because we get to celebrate each other. We're all on this journey together, so we can notice and acknowledge the little wins, right? And so just like that perseverance and just, I do a lot of meditating, I do a lot of journaling, I do a lot of self reflection, because if I don't, and I get caught up in the noise, I'm really not being able to appreciate all of these beautiful, surprises I'm getting daily, right? Like, this is a beautiful surprise, right? This is a beautiful opportunity to connect with you, and I wouldn't have met you if I wasn't on this journey, right? So all of these things are important, and they're helping to shape me to be a better educator and a better person in general. Just to you know, believe in myself as a magical source of energy that can be shared and spread to whomever is in you know, my pathway.


Lily Jones  18:51  

So beautifully said. I love that, and it really reminds me, I mean, we were so lucky to be able to work on the curriculum for change maker education, which is mind, body and soul. And it's really a lot of the things that you just said that you personally do, which was our goal of, like, teaching that to kids right, tuning in with your inner knowingness, like tuning into your intuition, thinking about what you're taking in information wise, or, like, feeling wise from other people, and being able to have that clarity, like it starts with you. And so I appreciate, like, as you were going through it, I was like, oh, that's in some of the lessons. I love it, I love it, I love it. And then just going back to like, yeah, I resonate with so much of the things you say about just starting a business, like starting something that's your own. I had a similar journey to you being a classroom teacher, then working in ed tech, then starting educator forever. And I had a note on my computer forever that said, bet on you, you know, because it really is so much of like taking that next step of knowing that you have this beliefs or this vision and that, yeah, being relentless, you know, having it unfold and keeping on going towards that. So I, you know, you know, for anyone out there listening. Who wants to start their own thing, like it is a personal development journey. I think starting a business because you have to uncover all that stuff to be able to push through.


Christina Pipkin  20:10  

Yes, yes, there's, and, you know, I mentioned the unlearning. It's been a lot of unlearning around productivity, right? Like, the more productive you are, the more you can produce, the more worthy, and that's not the case. So just like unlearning that, unlearning my relationship with personal finances and money, and what does that mean? What does that look like, really evaluating the kind of material things that I have in my life, like, are these? Why are they here? Is this a pride thing? Do I am I holding on to this for pride? I mean relationships, like, is this relationship serving me? There's so many things that when you're going on this journey, are kind of like adjacent things that are happening, right? And you're not expecting that. You're just expecting, okay, I'm gonna have to just do, like, the business stuff, right? Like getting a building, getting employees, you know, making sure we have revenue, like, all of that stuff. But there's so much more than that, so much bigger than that, and I think that's the part of the process I'm leaning into the most just that self growth and getting to that highest version of myself. Because if I'm there, everybody else is going to benefit from that version of me. 


Lily Jones  21:33  

Yeah, I mean so much of qhat I hear you say is, like, about intention and alignment, whereas doing this in your professional life, right? Being like, I want to be fully aligned with this vision of my school and be intentional about the actions I take. Like, it is not surprising to me that it also is happening in your personal life too, right? Like, we notice the things that are out of alignment to once we get into alignment in one area and that's like....


Christina Pipkin  21:59  

Well, yeah, there's not. This feels clunky and it shouldn't. So let me take a moment and sit with this and figure out what needs to be moved around. Yeah, yes,


Lily Jones  22:09  

Absolutely. So talk to me about the parts of building a micro school that might be different. Like, I assume that you know, doing the marketing and finding, I don't know where you're having the school, like, if there's a building, or, like, where it's housed, talk to us about those things. 


Christina Pipkin  22:24  

Yeah, soI'm in the ending stages of lease negotiation. I'm pretty much settled on the place. We're just getting some additional funding to make sure that we can move in, get it set up. You know, just those initial startup costs. So that's a thing, right? Just finding startup costs. So I've done some fundraising, and that's been extremely helpful. It's been able to help me to pay for marketing. So we do have marketing through an organization called choice schools, where they're doing social media and Google ads for us, and then I am connected with, actually, one of my dad's really good friends. She's local in the Houston area. She has some PR type options for me, so she's doing a press release, and you know, just sending the information out about my school to her email list, to her contacts. I, like I said before, I'm out of town for school at the moment, so when I get back to Houston doing some media placements, hopefully on some of the local news channels, just to really get that out there. And then it's also the networking part, I think that part comes pretty natural to me. I can I I'm realizing the older I get, my ability to create connections in kind of a speedy way, right? Like just being authentic, being my true version of myself, allows people to feel safe and want to continue the conversation. Excuse me, so I've, I've been able to network with so many people, so many other local micro school founders. So having being a part of a network outside of just change maker to share ideas, to really see their space in real time, to get ideas for myself. And so you think about everything. You got to think about paint color, you got to think about lighting, you got to think about furniture and all of the things. And so that's kind of where I'm at now, right? Just hopefully I'm claiming it that when I get back to Houston, all these things are just going to fall into place. I'll sign my lease, I'll start moving in, I'll be able to have open houses do tours. The space that I'm at now, there's a park, literally, like two blocks away, and so I've been having a lot of pop up events there, interacting with the families, having activities and prizes for the students. And so now I can kind of move it into. My my own space, to have an opportunity to network there, but collaborating with other business owners. So I've connected with a real estate agent where she's doing some events around journaling, and she's going to have an event August. So like connect, connecting with her. There's another local children's book author that's a really good friend of a friend, but that was by accident. I didn't even know that we met organic Lily, and then found out that we had connections in other places, and so connecting with her, with her, her events that she has. So it's a lot of networking, a lot of making sure that when I get into the space I have the things that I need to actually be a functioning school, and then leaning on people that have done this before, so other micro school founders that are in maybe year two or up to 10, you know, like whatever range they are in, it's just been really important to make sure I have a network of people that I can kind of lean on when I'm feeling either overwhelmed or I don't know what to do next, or, you know, just having tons of options and support has been really beautiful.


Lily Jones  26:13  

Absolutely. I love that. And so just a couple more questions. One is, if you could think about like, why a micro school? Like, why did you decide to open a micro school in particular?


Christina Pipkin  26:24  

Yeah, so I think there's a paradigm shift that's happening, and it's one of those that the universe is infinite, so there's opportunities for everyone. It's not like it's going to be overly saturated if there's going to be more micro schools, I think that's a beautiful thing, because it's not specifically in Texas. I do want to clarify that specifically in Texas, a micro school is more aligned to home school than it is private school. You could have it be towards private school, but private school usually you're still reporting your your test scores to the state. We are in the middle of figuring out what the education savings account is going to look like. This will be the first time that Texas has anything like that. So, you know, if you are a private school, and, you know, getting your accreditation, you can probably get those ESA funds for your school. I'm not sure yet, right? Like, I need, I need them to kind of flesh out some of the details before I commit to that. But with the homeschool part, the initial conversation is that you could just be like an approved vendor, for lack of better words, and you get a portion of that ESA, but you don't have the expectation of reporting to the state or having to do test scores. You can do your assessments in different ways, right? Mine are going to be performative and project based. So at the end, you have a portfolio and an actual presentation or some sort of way that you're showing mask your mastery of the content. And so that flexibility of being under the home school umbrella for Texas is definitely going to benefit me, and so that that freedom is beautiful. Now there's a whole long spectrum, spectrum of freedom, right like you have, and that's that, that's the, that's the great part, I guess, about being in Texas. And so I want to benefit and maximize that opportunity as much as possible. How can I, if I could ideate the perfect school and remove the restraints, right, but still be supported as a reputable institution for children? Why not? And I feel like with micro schools in Texas, that's my lane in right? I do have the desire to have multiple campuses, like as I grow, and I would even want to my real niche and passion would be to have it where it was low to no cost for children and families of that are suffering from incarceration, and that's a very personal story and connection for myself, and so if I could have a way that has this high quality resources, education, love, support for the child and the family, and to be able to incorporate including that incarcerated parent into that conversation, without the stigma, without all of The, you know, negative judgment, that's my that's my ideal situation,


Lily Jones  29:24  

yes, yes, yes. I mean, I can't wait for all this, but that part, I appreciate it so powerful, so powerful. Yeah. I mean, that seems so powerful for everyone, right? Like even children who are not personally affected by incarceration, having that experience, being in this community and having a full picture of what that looks like, I think is transformational. And


Christina Pipkin  29:47  

I really appreciate that. No, I really, really appreciate that. So this is Bay Learning Center. Is just kind of my initial entry into this space, like, let's just get it done. Let's just get it. Off the ground, let's, you know, figure out as many kinks and work through the process so that when it's time to launch the next version, phase two of it, I'm ready, and I'm prepared, and I have some experience in that space by that time, but I really do think that it's the flexibility and the autonomy, right, being able to have full autonomy of what is happening, what is not allowed, what's acceptable, what is going to be, you know, the safe space that I'm creating for the families. And then the size, right, like the size not going to be overcrowded, not going to be where, you know, the teacher is so stressed because they have 35 kids that they have to do all of this stuff for and grades and on and on and on. I definitely want it to be a place where the family sees the significant difference in the child in terms of, they love learning. They want to go to school. They want shorter breaks because they're so excited to get back to the curriculum. Don't get me wrong, we're having breaks. Everyone needs a real thing. We're not going but you know what I mean, right? Like that idea of school is happy and safe and fun and enjoyable. You know, allowing that creativity to stay there. You're kind of touching on that earlier, about how we put, kind of force them in a box with, you know, mainstream public school. And I'm not saying I'm against public school. I'm saying there's options for those that that mainstream education is not supporting them. It's not working for them. So giving an alternative to the families that need it the most. 


Lily Jones  31:46  

Absolutely. Yeah. So powerful. And so my last question is, any advice you give for educators out there who might be like, Oh, maybe I want to do this too. How do you think they get started?


Christina Pipkin  31:58  

I think the first way to get started is even if you're not spiritual, just having a real conversation with yourself of what would be the impact that you're making. Are you doing it just because you're tired of the current situation that you're in, or are you doing it because you really do have a passion to change. You have a passion for education. You have a passion for the students, and you just see something bigger than what you're currently doing, right? Because I think that's true no matter what career move you're making. If you are jumping ship because you're so uncomfortable where you are, you definitely need to evaluate that uncomfort, uncomfort. But how do they say grass ain't always greener on the other side, right? And so you really do have to do some self evaluation of why you want to make that move, right? So that's kind of like my first thing is really determining what is it about the idea of starting a school that excites you? And for me, this was something that I've been thinking about forever. And so it's not like an all of a sudden thing, it's like a finally thing for me, right? And so then the second part, I think, would be to just start doing things right. Start dreaming. Maybe when you have your vision board, it's only about the things you would put in your school. Start thinking about the families and the children that you want to support. Maybe you've had kids in the past in your classroom that you're like, Man, I wish I could have this. I wish I had a space to do to the to do this for you, right? So start to actually put an emotion towards it. There's this, not to get too, like lofty, and I'm inviting to things, but like this idea of, it's first a thought, then an emotion, then an action, right? So you have the thought, you tie that thought to an emotion and now do something, right? Maybe it's just having conversations with your other friends that have kiddos. What do you like about school? What are, what's, what are some of the pain points that you're noticing, right? Like, how do your children feel about it? Interacting with some of the kiddos to get their perspective on things, and then that's going to help you to create a true vision of, do I want to do this, or do I just want to be a part of the movement in a different way? Right? So what is it that is really drawing you to move from the classroom or from a public school setting? Let me say it that way, move from a public school setting to do something on your own, because it is very scary. It's a lot of work. It takes a lot of perseverance and dedication. And so if you're thinking that this is just a way to still teach, but just not have someone coming doing observations on you, it's way more than that, right? So thought, emotion, action. Mm.

Awesome. Yeah, fantastic. And I love that. It's like, it starts with that introspection, you know, yeah, thinking about, like, what is the real reason? Because, as we know, teachers are going through a lot, and there are a lot of things that we're like, we're just done with it, right? And so sometimes all sorts of things can seem appealing, and it's hard to figure out what that right thing is for you. And so I appreciate, kind of, like, the slow exploration of, is this the right bit, rather than, like, I'm definitely jumping into this, yeah, making sure. Yeah. So, well, it's been so nice talking with you. Christina, can you tell folks how they can connect with you?
