15. Marketing Your Class: Recap
1. It all starts with your class listing
2. At least 2-3 wks lead time
3. Use your networks + new ones
4. Discount codes
5. Keep your first classes small
17. What Will You Teach?

18. Who Will You Teach?
Ask Yourself: Whose problem is the skill that I’m teaching solving?
Who’s my obvious - and not so obvious - audience?
19. Pre-Class Prep
Ask Yourself:
• Are there prerequisites for my students (i.e., are there certain things
they should know or have done before)?
• What resources (i.e., videos, articles) will I share with my students
to prepare them for class and/or what activity can my students do to
come ready to dive in during class (i.e., compile work they’ve done
before, put together an outline / initial plan)?
20. In-Class Interaction
Ask Yourself:
• What will your class structure / type be (i.e., field course, hands-on
project workshop, case study review, discussion group, etc.)?
• What activity or experiment can you give your students to work on
to ensure they learn by doing and collaborating? Tip: make it
challenging, not frustrating!
21. Post-Class Engagement
Ask Yourself:
• What will your students’ homework be? In other words, how will
they apply what they’ve learned in class?
• How will you learn from this experience, too (i.e., solicit students’
feedback, apply constructive criticism)?
