Call for Arts and Sciences Teachers

Oyez! Oyez! Looking for a Great Time at Great Western War XII?

Then come and share your knowledge, artistry, and skills with the rest of the Knowne World by teaching a class at Great Western War XII! We are looking for teachers for all areas and would love to have you share your expertise. Please get your class submission in early! Consider teaching more than one session of your class, that way more students will have an opportunity to share your knowledge and enjoyment of your subject. Additionally, we would love to have some Service and Fighting classes to add to the mix, whether it be taught in A&S or out on the field, so if you have an idea don't hesitate to send it in. Don't let the committee in your head tell you "nobody would be interested in that." They are! In terms of classes, "if you build it, they will come..." Honest!

If you are interested in teaching, please fill out the Class Proposal Form. You can also download this as Microsoft Word or as PDF. Please note that the Deadline for Class Submissions has been extended to August 1, 2009! Please note we will be providing the opportunity for preregistration of classes via the GWW website.

The Arts and Sciences Encampment is centrally located, adjacent to Merchants Row, with pavilions offering shade, seating, tables, and even electricity for your teaching needs. This year we will be sponsoring an Artisans Enclave adjacent to Arts and Sciences, where you will have a place to commune and share the company of other instructors and artisans if that is your desire. We also invite you to enjoy complimentary refreshments in the Teacher's Lounge, in appreciation of your efforts and dedication, as well as the return of the Teachers Survival Goodie Bag. Please note that all instructors receive Volunteer Hours for teaching a class at A&S for the war.

And in case you need additional reasons why to teach at GWW:

1. GWW draws approximately 3000 people from across the country, this means you can educate, inspire and assist in spreading interest in the arts on a large scale!
2. Finding people who enjoy the same things you do is a great way to make friends and war memories. Plus, you never know what you are going to learn from a student!
3. You can do a first-run of a class and get feedback on how to fine tune it later.
4. Bringing all those handouts/materials can take space in your car, but after they are gone, there is more space to fill on merchant's row!

If you or anyone you know might be interested in teaching a class at Great Western War XII, please contact Arts and Science: THLady Mouren Muir, artscaid-gww.org - We want your teaching experience to be a pleasant one. Let us know what you require and we will accommodate you in every respect possible.
