Teachers Wanted for Summer Quarter

Submitted by chmod on Sun, 05/27/2012 - 10:29

Hello, friends! We are really late getting the word out about teaching during winter quarter. The deadline for new classes is coming up fast on June 7th. So maybe spend a few minutes today submitting your class. What have you been thinking of teaching others?

FREE SKOOL TEACHERS WANTED

A radically different approach to living and learning, Free Skool Santa Cruz is a grassroots educational project beyond institutional control. It is an opportunity to learn from each other and share what we know, to foster communities of mutual support and autonomy.

The project strives to blur the lines between teacher, learner, and organizer. Free Skool is decentralized, with classes held in homes, social spaces, and parks. Do you have unique skills and knowledge? Are you willing to share what you know?

If you have a class idea that focuses on self-reliance, community, do-it-yourself culture, and creating a new and beautiful world, propose it to us.

Submit your classes with our online form.

Free Skool Winter Quarter runs July 1st to September 30th. The Free Skool teacher registration deadline is June 7th. We will not calendar classes after this date.

Free Skool Santa Cruz es un proyecto hecho completamente en base, una colección de individuos actuando colectivamente y en autonomía, creando una red para compartir habilidades.
