Welcome to the Spring Teach Challenge on Skillshare!

These are uncertain times, but there’s power in community. Teaching on Skillshare is a way to come together, connect with others, and earn side income while sharing what you love — all from the comfort of home.

This 45-day Teach Challenge program is the best way to create your first online class, with support and feedback from a Skillshare coach to guide you along the way. You are joining a hand-picked cohort we believe has great potential to find success by teaching in our community.

As you progress through the challenge, you’ll hit four important milestones: planning, outlining, producing, and publishing your class. Each milestone has an associated deliverable and a due date to keep you on track. Along the way, you’ll get feedback and tips and tricks, and will get to weigh-in on the work of your fellow creators.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a beautiful, polished class and will be ready to make a name for yourself on Skillshare. From there, the sky’s the limit!

Publish your class by May 31st and you’ll receive a free year of Premium Membership, see terms. What’s more, one lucky winner will receive an Apple iPad. Our curation team will be selecting the winner based on our Class Quality Guidelines, so keep these in mind as you work on your materials. Be sure to read the Class & Community Guidelines to ensure that your class meets the minimum requirements to be published on Skillshare.

Challenge Timeline

Milestone 1: Review the Teacher Handbook. This document includes all of the information you’ll need to create a great Skillshare class and will be your best resource as you work your way through the Teach Challenge. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the Handbook, watch Teach an Amazing Skillshare Class and start your class planning: decide what you’ll teach, write up a class description, and come up with an engaging class project for your students. Share your planning progress in the Project Gallery by April 22nd.
Milestone 2: Create your class outline using this Outline Template. Share a link to your outline in the Project Gallery by April 29th.
Milestone 3: Film your class. Post your introduction video or a sample video lesson to Youtube, and share the link in the Project Gallery by May 12th.
Milestone 4: Edit and publish your class! Refer to the Pre-Publish Merchandising section of the Teacher Handbook for tips on all of your class packaging (like your class title, video lesson titles, cover image, and more). Once you’ve got all of your materials ready, follow our Step-by-Step Guide to publishing your class on Skillshare. Hit the “Publish” button by 11:59 PM on May 31st to successfully complete the challenge!
