What are the parameters for class design?
There is a great deal of flexibility in class design, but here are some general guidelines.
- Most classes tend to be between one and a half to two hours long.
- You can teach a topic that lasts a single session or have multiple sessions - two sessions, three sessions, weekly sessions, twice a week sessions or whatever is appropriate for your class.
- Youth classes can be offered after school, evenings or on Saturdays.
- Adult classes can be offered Monday through Thursday evenings between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. and between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
