Classes are a significant and reliable source of income for the Bike Kitchen. They're also a great way to learn teaching skills while helping to inspire self-sufficiency in newer cyclists.
Teaching
This space is for people to add their thoughts on subjects to teach, and pointers on how to teach them. i got nothin.
Setting up a class
Because we are in a period of transition for the Bike Kitchen, there tends to be a good deal of confusion around the topic of setting up a class. Like the shop, we have lots of resources lying around, but it's not always clear how to use those resources effectively. So, this is the basic timeline for teaching a class.
- Volunteer to teach an upcoming class, whether at the mechanic's meetings or on the email list.
- Check scheduling with the group, in order to make sure that your desired timeslot is available Rigel 17:40, 12 August 2008 (EDT)I will have a calendar up for this sort of thing soon, i hope
- Set up ticketing on Brown Paper Tickets - The IT Coordinator (rigelc at-gmail-dot-com) can help you with this if you do not already know the login/password.
- Unless you really want to have a go at writing your own copy for the class description, please feel free to browse the older class descriptions and use them in whole or in part, for your own.
- Take the BPT link for your class, and email it to the following people, preferably with descriptions, and ask them politely to include them on the appropriate websites:
- The bikekitchen website administrator (or IT coordinator)
- calendar@sfbike.org
- info@bikekitchen.org - jack, our guy who does the email, keeps a list of people who wish to be updated about new classes and whatnot, and we love him for it, even though he will soon enough be replaced by a soulless unfeeling robot.
- Success!
