How to Apply for Season 22

We are inviting applications from Teaching Teams.

Teams can just be one person - or they can include one assistant to help with marking assignment posts if they want.

Each Team should cover a particular subject area that they have specialist knowledge of such as photography or crochet or baking or spreadsheets or gardening or painting.

Teams will be expected to deliver a lesson in their subject area each week with a corresponding homework task. The six weekly lessons should ideally form a cohesive course in their subject area.

---

Teaching Teams should make an application post including…

• the subject area they want to cover
• details of their experience and expertise in the subject area be it professional or hobbyist
• three examples of the weekly lessons they would include in their course.

---

There are no restrictions on Steem Power, Reputation, nationality, language or community affiliations. The only restriction is that no team member should be powering down.

---

Posts should also contain the contact details (Telegram/Discord) of all team members.

Posts should be submitted by 11:59 pm UTC, on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024.

Application posts should include the tag #teachingteam in the first four tags.

Checking & Grading Posts

Teaching Teams should promptly check all assignments.

They should each have a standard comment and grading format that focuses on the quality of the post and how well it has met the requirements of the assignment.

The comment does not need to include any other information about club status or beneficiaries etc. The only checks needed are for plagiarism and AI content generation.

Teams should review and grade participants’ homework posts promptly. They should have a wide enough spread of marks out of 10 and give detailed commentary on how posts can be improved. Good marking comments will be rewarded appropriately.

Homework posts from students following each course do not need to be posted in a particular community and should instead be tracked through the use of appropriate tags.

Selection of Weekly Winners

Each week we would like the Teaching Teams to make a post announcing the 4 best assignment posts for the week.

All the weekly winners, as well as the announcement posts, will receive extra prize votes from @steemcurator01.

We are looking forward to reading your applications. We hope there will be a good range of subjects offered.

The exact number of Teaching Teams will be determined by the quality of the applications received.

The Crypto Academy will continue as one of the Teaching Teams.

We hope everyone will enjoy #learningwithsteem.

Thank you

The Steemit Team
