Ever wanted to teach a class but didn't know how to get started? This presentation will walk students through an organized process that can help take a class idea .. develop an outline, class materials, exercises and finally a proposal suitable for a conference or event. We will discuss how to use idea construction to break an objective into component parts and then discuss different methods for teaching those components so that a student can grasp the concept and apply it. We will write simple workshop exercises that then help reinforce the objective and give students enough information to be able to take the idea back to their environment and apply it. We'll then go over general proposal requirements and some tips on how to write a winning submission.
