Here's a course description sheet template, that's a starter for posting the key class information.
It's so that people can get an idea of what it is you're offering to teach, date,time, location, etc.
You don't have to use the exact template.
By all means, make your own, or don't use one if you'd like to include more information
than the template asks for, such as teacher's background, Or anything else which seems worth mentioning
about the class layouto or goals, etc. -As long as the essential information is provided, that's fine;
If a class is going to be physically involved, or have even a minor risk of resulting in injury: Say roller-blading or rock climbing,
There will be a personal safety waiver of responsibility that we will probably ask teachers to have their students fill out, stating the risks if there are any.
This will be to help seriously cut down on the incidence' of anything less than excellent safety, being observed and hence experienced during freeschool classes,
-and will provide some clarity, as necessary for observing personal responsibility.
-What, if any tools people will have to have to participate in class: A bike, hammer, smock, scissors, tools, etc.

It's even in the name, right?
{ Teachers should not, however be expected to take a big hit in order to teach a class or workshop,
so if you have to ask students to bring materials, writing implements for example or some basic tools, -or make use of a donations jar,
that will be considered perfectly reasonable by the freeskool.

*Notes:
At this point, we're recommending that teacher/facillitators offering a workshop or class, post the details and begin spreading the word about it at least 2
or 3 weeks before it takes place, That way people have time to see that it's being offered ad adjust their scheduled accordingly, etc.
Also, teachers are very much encouraged to help one another promote classes.
-If you're printing up a flyer, why not see if any of the other teachers would like to share space on it, and help eachother spread the word.
-weekends are a good time to hold classes for many people, followed by evenings and late afternoons during the week, for generally prevalent 9-5 work
schedules, though clearly not everyone has that type of work schedule. The weekday time period has the benefit of not conflicting with as much other stuff
that people are trying to do with their freetime.
When Posting a Free'Skool Class on Firebrand's Free'skool Page, Please send the completed forms,
-or the information requested in it, to:
Proton871@hotmail.com, or
Yeahoganite@yahoo.com,
containing the words "Free'skool", "FireBrand Class" or "Workshop" in the Subject Header.
Have Fun!
