I was recently offered several opportunities to teach SM in a variety of situations – some good, some bad. Neil and I have had several conversations about how to handle all of this as well as the pluses and minuses of each, which was extremely helpful.
After School Enrichment Program:
I was asked to provide an after school program at an elementary school. The school will give me total control over the program and will not charge me a percentage or rent. Because of the complexity in having to manage multiple levels over several years, I limited the program to Level 1. After completion of Level 1, all students would move to lessons off campus allowing new students to enroll.
[Anonymous] Private School:
I currently have several students that attend this school and recently received calls from a few parents who asked if I would approach the director to see if I could start an after school program making access to lessons easier on working parents and students. We designed an after school program for ages 5-12 using the following class structure that Neil helped me with. Classes would be 30 minutes, once per week; Each session10 weeks; 6 students/class; Tuition and Materials paid on a semester basis at my current group rate; Classes would revolve around school holidays; Non-daycare students would be enrolled in classes immediately following school; daycare students would be enrolled later in the day. After completion of Level 1, students wishing to continue would enroll in class off campus.
I would not be charged a percentage or rent.
Charter School/Adult Ed:
I was offered a position as a consultant to a school district as director for the music program in Adult Ed and the Charter School. The least desirable of all the options – the school wanted 50% of the revenue from any program taught. That is not negotiable and appears to be a standard with both the schools and Parks and Rec. I am very grateful to Neil for the time he spent helping me sort all of this out.
