Teaching

While we are not officially a co-op we do depend on parent’s teaching. Teachers get paid for their time allowing for only those who it is their season to teach to do so. So often, co-ops assign the next warm body to the open spot, we strive to not do that.

So you think you may want to teach- -we ask that you find a subject that you are passionate about, whether it is where your training lies or not.

When submitting a class idea– here are somethings to keep in mind–

your children need to be with us for a year– so you can get to know us and vise versa.
courses are for the full year–30 weeks
you need to be a follower of Jesus Christ– agree with our statement of faith
you need to teach from a Christian Worldview
teaching even once a week can be challenging- make sure you pick a subject you are passionate about and want to wade into deeper.
we hope to inspire children to learn, we do not have a punitive approach to courses. (if you want to get someone excited about a subject – submit your idea– if you want to prove how little these kids know– move on, we are not a good fit for you.)
the pay is small
we do not test in the classroom
you pick and purchase your curriculum– I am happy to look at it -making sure it agrees with a Christian Worldview and the direction of your class — just as a confirmation for you.
Priority will be given to teachers whose children attend TRLT.

IF you are agreeable to all these things — submit your request to me via email only one submission per page please. please put the class title in the subject line.

Include the following

your name
the grade level(s) you wish to teach
course name– straight forward is best
course description– this will used on the website — it is how parents select the course they want their children to take– this is your commercial– spend some time on it–
curriculum choice — include the edition and author
what hour work best for you
a syllabus for each class is due by July 31- please be thorough so students can proceed with work if they have to miss school. It needs to have more info not less.
submission due January 17, 2021
we start planning in January for the next year — so start thinking now.

Submission of class request is not a guarantee you will get this class–I consider space, repetition, and how a similar class was received in the past– I will communicate with you if your class will not be offered- and we may tweak a bit.

We are, planning to be meeting a different church for the next school year — we will have more room and opportunity for more courses and space for more active courses and more electives. I am super excited about this, while Faith Alliance has been a wonderful home for us the last 3 years, it is time to grow and stretch a bit.

With that in mind- please if you have an art or hobby that you love- please sign up.– I am considering putting together a 5 part 6 week hobbies class– so if you could share for 6 weeks please let me know– middle school and high school levels.

Be creative– think out of the box– and submit

Request due by 1/31!

Children are born with all the curiosity they will ever need.

It will last a lifetime if they are fed upon a daily diet of ideas .
