[PPRAANet] Help request

Hi!

 

The General licensing Class is starting this Wednesday (May 6th). 

 

Although we have 4 instructors, it would be nice to pick up a few more to
reduce the weekly load.  For the next 8 weeks we are teaching a 2-2.5 hour
segment.  This allows preparations to be spread out for each instructor.
More instructor would just make it easier.  We would love to offload a
section or sub-section to more instructors  (see subject list below).

If you are interested, the first class is tomorrow.  Stu the author of the
book will be teaching the first class.  The first class will be an overview
of the course, introduction to the supplemental material (web material, and
smart-device application), and how to prepare for each lesson.  This is
expected to last 45 minutes to an hour.

 

We currently have the book (mostly) broken out between instructors, but
would be happy to relinquish some load.

 

Please join Stu and other instructors immediately after the first class. Stu
will go over teaching philosophy, and provide the teacher aids and
information.  We can then further divide the major section or sub-sections
among any additional volunteers.

Please RSVP to:  w0ro.dan <at> gmail com      ß this is not the reply
address of this email.

Showing up without an RSVP would be fine too.  It’s where all to cool people
will be, so be there or be square!

 

NOTE:  Work and other personal schedules make doing a large number of
classes difficult on each instructor.  Your volunteerism is greatly
appreciated! 

 

Thanks and 73,
