If you’ve thought about teaching an Osher class but wonder what is involved or how to proceed, then this class is for you. In this two-hour session, a panel of veteran Osher instructors will answer your questions and explain how to get started. These colleagues will guide you through the process of becoming an instructor and proposing a course. They will provide insight about the kinds of courses our members like and the best teaching methods for adult learners. They will help you figure out how to organize, deliver, and present your course. And, if you are interested, these instructors will work with you as you propose your first course and prepare to teach. Everyone has a special area of interest, hobby, and experience. Consider sharing yours with Osher at W&M members. You’ll wonder why you waited so long!
The class is open to members and non-members alike. Registration is required to attend this workship; Osher membership is not.
This course is open and free to both members and non-members; registration is required.
Osher members should register online. Non-members should email osher@wm.edu for info or to register.
