Group Collaboration:

You'll get the most out of this class if you collaborate with your peers - they'll give you honest, yet supportive, feedback on your class idea and help you improve it!

Share your creative skill / project idea and your class listing (once you've created a local one or applied to teach an online class) with your Group. Get feedback from each other and gather any additional resources that your peers might have to share to help you build out your project.

Project Milestones

You'll start by identifying the creative skill you want to share, and you'll dream up a hands-on project your students can do to learn that skill. Once you've done that, you'll get advice on how to craft a compelling class description and teacher bio, and you'll be ready to list your class!
