Responsibilities (important!)
Freeskool is decentralized non-institutional project. In other words, you and I make it happen. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities as a teacher. Promote your class through word-of-mouth, flyering, community outreach, and online. Work with other freeskoolers to post calendars and flyers. Be prompt and reliable. Keep in touch with students. And take good care of the spaces that host your class. Most importantly, be open to others’ ideas and beliefs…be respectful.
We will not accept any racist, sexist, classist, or hetero-sexist proposals. Thanks!
We are asking for a three month commitment each term. That way we only have to pester you three times a year! We also ask that our teachers review the following documents:
Scheduling
You choose how often in that three months you want to teach your classes. You choose what days fit your schedule. You can check with us to try to avoid conflicts.
Sessions
The Ithaca Freeskool runs year-round. The three terms are 3 months each, with one month off, in between. We can not accept classes after the deadline.
Session Dates
Winter: October 1 to December 31
Spring: February 1 to April 30
Summer: June 1 to August 31
Deadlines
For teachers, the deadline to remember is one month before the start of the term. We need class info by then to go into the new calendars. Teacher deadline for Winter is September 1st, 2009.
Class Info
If you would like to submit a class for next term, we need your class name, your name, contact information, dates and times, location(s), a solid, brief, description, and requirements for students (any books, equipment, need to RSVP, etc). Send submissions to ithaca_freeskool@riseup.net

I’m interested in facilitating a class that involves audio interviewing techniques for radio broadcast followed by learning audio editing utilizing shortcut editors (have 6 stations). Final product would be to PSAs and a 30 minute edited topical radio presentation. I think the class would be limited to 12 students but would be offered every term. This class would be in collaboration with ICR.

Hi Jim,
I responded to you via email, through the email listed at teen talk NY. thanks!

Thanks Gloria and Ryan… re: Interviewing techniques and Shortcut Editor 360 editing… we’ll set it up to begin in Oct. I also want to set up a veterans’ writing group… both poetry and prose. I would like to have an organizing meeting on Aug 24th and then meet 2 x monthly beginning in Sept. We will collaborate with Post Traumatic Press (.org) which publishes veterans’ writings (editor Dale Wise – 1st CAV Recon).

Jim, I would very much like to be involved in your class and ICR, but the email address on your site seems to be defunct and I don’t see you on the new calender (unless I’m mistaken?) How can I participate in any of those subjects?

John,
The new calendar (2nd edition or later) has the class information for Jim’s class. You can go to the calendar page and download the PDF of the document to see this info.
