Pick Me! Pick Me!

PICK ME! PICK ME! -- How to get your proposal recognized! 
  • Have a great tiltle and class description - really paint the picture - show the student how learning what you have to offer will benefit them!
  • Teach tangling - CZT students want to learn new tangles and the tips and tricks to make them great. ALL classes must include tangling and lesson plans must include step outs.
  • Classes will be either 3 or 5 hours. Make sure the student will have finished or nearly finished work by the end of the class (ex. 1/4 or mandala is completed is OK, substrate done with no tangling completed - not OK)
  • Use interesting materials or traditional materials in a new way.
  • Provide a complete materials list. Tangle U will provide all materials with few exceptions.
  • Each class must have a lesson plan so that students can go back and teach the material to their students. Lesson plans are due on March 1, 2020.
  • AND - all class projects should measure 8 1/2" x 11" or less. (although I do make exceptions!)
  • Preference is given to classes that debut at TangleU.
  • All teachers must be CZT credentialed by Zentangle®.
All classrooms will have a hands free microphone, screen, document camera and projector and the ability to also run powerpoint type presentations from your laptop or iPad. You will also have an extra table at the front for your teaching supplies and a space for a mosaic of class work.

Compensation will be based upon teacher experience and class assignment (core or optional).. Compensation details will be included in teacher contracts. Teacher contracts cover all details including our standard policy teacher compensation if TangleU makes a schedule change.
