[Nfb-krafters-korner] communicating classes and times

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Dixie,Dixie,
 
First I need someone that is thinking about teaching a class to contact  
me.  I generally may ask a few questions in regards to the class and how  the 
teacher plans on doing the class.  I also find out what day of the week  or 
time and how many classes they think they will need.  I have included my  
judgement call from experience regarding how many classes would be good to 
cover  what the teacher has in mind.  If it is a totally new teacher I make the 
 suggestion that the teacher and I get together and the teacher teaches me 
the  class.  I will record that class for the teacher for them to review it 
if  they want or for them to create some written directions from the 
recording for  hand outs.  I will depending on the teacher and how things go will 
give  them a date or suggest when this can be scheduled.  At this point the  
teacher has to submit on the website a class proposal.  We are asking that  
the class proposal be submitted on the website 6 weeks prior to the first 
day of  the classstarting date.  From the time the class proposal is submitted 
it  takes a minimum of 1 week to prepare and be put up on the website.  If  
Cindy needs more information or something clarified with a teacher emails 
go  back and forth and it could delay things.  So that puts it up on the  
website between 4 and 5 weeks prior to the class start date.  We feel that  
should be enough time to order or purchase supplies for the class.
 
So this is an example on what happens prior to the first day of  class.  
This can really take 6 to 8 weeks prior to the students calling in  to attend 
that first class.So you are looking at Jan. 7 today  and if you  wanted to 
do a class and haven't contacted me as of yet, you are looking at the  last 
week of Feb or first week of March to start a class.
 
There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes for classes to be  available.
 
If you have any other questions please do not hesitate asking.

Cindy,

What is the time line for submitting class  proposals?

For example:  You mention that the wish is to have the  class posted at 
least
4  if not 6 weeks prior to the class.  What  is the time line between an
instructor proposing a class and it being  posted?

Cindy Z., et al,

We are in the process of  placing the constitution on the website. Perhaps
these other reports can be  made available in a similar matter. Right now,
the posting of classes to  the website takes priority of other things. One
thing that can really help  speed this process, is for instructors to submit
class proposals as soon as  possible. The date fields are for you to place
your wish list days and  dates. You can always place a note the required
fields that something is  pending. If you need to add something to your
supply list, simply put a  note like "hold for yarn information." This will
allow Joyce to continue  working with you and me to go ahead work on the 
html
coding for your page.  It also helps me know that I need to follow-up with
you and or Joyce for  the final information that will need to be filled in.
Our goal right now is  to post classes to the website no less than four 
weeks
in advance but  preferably six weeks ahead.
