I'm interested in signing up! What do I do?

We're excited to have you on board! Splash couldn't function without volunteer teachers like yourself teaching the classes you want to teach. Here are the steps:
1) Sign up for an account on our website!.
2) Fill out your teacher availability and describe the class you want to teach!

What do I need to do when teaching a class?

Not much! All we ask of our teachers is to attend a teacher training. Many people prepare PowerPoints or handouts before their class. Splash will reimburse up to 30 dollars with appropriate documentations and budget so you don't have to break the bank with class material. We'll also provide AV equipment or work with you to make sure the classroom is appropriate for the class you want to teach.

Teacher Training Seminar

If you are interested in teaching, you are required to attend one Teacher Training Sessions!

Teacher Training: January 25th, 3:30pm in Tech MG51 OR January 27th at 12pm in Kresge 2380

If you have any issues with attendance or any other concerns, please reach out to us at splash@u.northwestern.edu as soon as possible!

What if I don't know what I want to teach?

That's perfectly okay! Our seminars are intended to not only help you come up with class ideas, but also develop a full lesson plan. Not sure what to teach? Find some IDEAS here. I'm not sure if my class is appropriate. What should I do? You can pretty much teach any class that is appropriate to high school students (so something you'd be comfortable talking about to a stranger). The Splash directors will normally approve your class unless there's serious concern about the topic or safety for the students. We aim to present topics that are balanced and agnostic, so if you want to talk about a more controversial topic, please describe how you'll be fair to both sides of the argument. If you're planning on doing some cool experiments, let us know if there are any safety concerns!

I'm done registering my class! Now what?

Keep a tab on your class enrollment and update any information here. This is also a good way to get in touch with your students! If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with the directors at splash@u.northwestern.edu. We would love to work with you to make your class work!
