Teaching FAQ
What can I teach?
Classes that connect to one of our 9 subjects, for kids in pre-K through 6th grade and our teen courses. Teach what you know well and love talking about. Short intro classes and longer multi-week classes are both welcome.
Who can teach with Bold Minds?
Teachers, artists, scholars, coders, elders, and community leaders who care about kids and our mission. We review every application and talk with you before your first class.
Do I have to use your lessons?
No. You can build on our existing K-6 lessons or design your own class from scratch, as long as it fits one of the subjects.
How does pay work?
We’ll go over compensation with you during your application, since it depends on the class and the program.
