Student Prerequisites*

Please enter "none" if there are no prerequisites.

Pre-registration*

We generally require pre-registration for our classes, closing two days before the class starts. If we don't meet the minimum registration, we'll cancel the class at that time. Is two days sufficient lead time?

Instructor Fee*

Please let us know how much you would like to be compensated for teaching the class. The standard Folk School class fee is $15/contact hour, and we typically split that 50/50 with the instructor. Let us know if that works, or propose a different amount below.

I agree to the standard instructor compensation.
I propose a different compensation rate (describe below):

Material Fee

Materials fee per student (if any). If you order and supply materials, this fee is fully yours. If TFS provides any supplies we have on hand, the amount will be split between us.

The Folk School strives to be a safe place for everyone. If you will be teaching a children's class (where children under the age of 18 will be participating without parents or guardians present), please note that all of our children's instructors must undergo a professional background check through the National Center for Safety Initiatives. (The Folk School will pay the fee and help you through the process.) This background check will be valid for a two year period.
