Proposals for advanced classes do not necessarily require written instructions.   They should, however, require some completed work from the teacher in the medium or subject matter to be taught.   They should outline the technique or materials to be taught, and what the teacher intends for his or her students to achieve in the class, a full supply list, and an estimate of instruction time and of time to finish any classwork or project.

Teachers proposing a course should also indicate what amount of compensation they would expect.

For instructors interested in presenting a workshop at CBJA, please review our policies and procedures in both our Student Guide and our Teacher Guide.    Also please review our Sample Workshop Proposal and Sample Workshop Contract .    When thinking about proposing a workshop, please consider how it coordinates with any part of our curriculum, as well as what "value-added" qualities it brings to our curriculum.
