Request a course

A teacher can propose a course and have the school approve it. On Teach (/teach), press Request a course and choose what you are asking for.

A new course, then fill in:

1. Title.
2. What it covers, a sentence or two.
3. Why this course, a sentence or two.
4. An optional link to a brief or outline you already wrote.

An existing course in this school: pick it from the list (each shows who teaches it now) and say why you want to teach it. If the school approves, you become its instructor.

Press Send the request. The school's admins are told, and your request shows under Your course requests on Teach with its status:

• Waiting for the school: not decided yet.
• Approved: a private draft course was created with you as its instructor. Follow Open the draft course and start adding lessons. It stays private and unpublished until the school opens it. For an existing course, it now reads "you teach this course now" with Open the course.
• Declined: the school's note explains why. You can send a new request once you have addressed it.

School admins and the platform owner do not need to request: they create courses directly with the New course form.

Courses offered to you

When a school admin assigns you a course, it shows under Courses offered to you at the top of Teach (and you get an email). Press Accept and teach it to become its instructor, or Decline to leave it with its current teacher. You can add a short note either way; the admin is told your answer. An offer lasts 14 days.
