You can register months in advance, if you'd like, to take advantage of group discounts and to plan ahead. No matter when you begin your students, they will become part of the schools active in the program, allowing them to get to know their partners and to share the learning process. See the registrations section for details. Visit the Teacher Support Web page for specific trouble-shooting to do ahead of time or register for our teacher workshop before you begin a classroom program. Most important, be realistic about what you can accomplish in the time you have to spend on this project, with the schedule you have and with your Internet skills and experience.
Nobody can do everything under any circumstances.
The most successful teachers are those who start small and count their successes as they go. Each class contains 6 - 9 units. Depending on the speed at which you work, the number of times per week you meet, and the activities you choose from the options presented, your experience will probably last from between six to 12 weeks. Sometimes it can last longer, if your students are really engaged. In years past, we have scheduled all of our classes for specific ten-week periods.
