Consortium Course Proposal

For which program would you like to offer to teach this class? Check all that apply.

Course working title:

Your name:

Your email address.  You'll receive updates about the course and enrollment at this address.  Your roster will be delivered to this address as well.

For which grade(s) would this course be appropriate?  Select all grades for which you would be willing to teach this course.  This does not mean that you would be scheduled to teach all of these grades at the same time in the same class, or that you would be scheduled to teach multiple classes.

In one to two sentences, describe your qualifications for teaching on this particular subject. (Optional)

What curriculum, if any, would you use to teach this course?  If you will create your own curriculum list books, websites, or materials that you will use.  If you need help chosing a curriculum or if you need ETC to purchase the curriculum for you, please note that here.

List the name of any curriculum or books that the students in this course would need to use? 

• Indicate if the curriculum or book is required or recommended. 
• Indicate if the curriculum or book should be purchased by you, the Instructor, and charged to the student along with other fees. 
• If the student is to provide their own curriculum or book, note any details about the materials that you have, including title, author, ISBN, retail price, ordering information, etc.

If no curriculum or book is required type NONE.

Include a one-paragraph course description that will give Consortium parents and students a clear idea of

• what to expect that they will learn
• what to expect that they will do in the class
• reasons why a student might want to take this class or how he/she might benefit. 
• any prerequisite this class might have or be for
• any particular skills, knowledge, or experience that the student might need in order to benefit from this class

Think of this as your "sell" of the class.  

Would you plan to cover the material for this class over the course of one semester or two semesters?

Is this course best suited for a particular gender?

Do you plan to assign homework that students would need to complete in order to fully participate in the course? 

If so, describe the type of work and the approximate amount of time a student would expect to spend completing it each week.

If you do not plan to assign required homework, type NONE.

Some supplies are best supplied by each student, such as common or recyclable materials, materials students are likely to already own, or supplies that can be chosen based on preference.  In some cases, a student may wish to invest in durable equipment, instruments, or tools that they will need..  

List any supplies, materials, or equipment that each student in this course would need to provide for himself/herself.

Indicate which class hour(s) you are  NOT available to teach this course?

Using a range, such as 5-15, indicate the lower and upper limits of the number of students you would like to have in this class.

• The minimum number should reflect the number of students you would need in the class to carry out planned activities. 
• The maximum number should indicate the greatest number of students you would find manageable in one class.   Keep in mind that a parent/helper will be in the class to help with classroom management.

The final class size will be set by administration based on your preference along with other factors, such as room size.

Calculate the cost of supplies PER STUDENT that you expect to need to carry out the planned activities and lessons for this class.  

Some supplies and materials may be best supplied by you, the instructor, because

• students may not have access to a supplier
• the exact materials may be hard to identify
• supplies may only be sold, or are significantly more affordable when bought in a large quantity
• students will be sharing materials
• you'll need a significant number of copies.  These would need to be made at a copy shop. A reasonable estimate might be 10¢ per black/white copy and 50¢ for a full-color copy (A number of copies, such as 2-4 per day per student, can be made at Consortium without additional charge.)

What fee per student would you need in order to cover your expenses for materials and supplies? 

If you do not need to charge a fee for supplies, Type $0 or NONE.

Indicate any special room requirements, equipment, or accomodations that you will need to effectively teach this course. 

List any OTHER special equipment or space requirements you have not listed above.

Provide any additional information about the course that you believe would be helpful for the Consortium director or parents to know.

List any planned absences by date.  If you have no planned absences type NONE.
