Submit Application and Initial Consultation
All potential instructors are required to submit an application to become an instructor and/or host courses at The School of Global Citizenry. After careful review of your application and assuming all requirements are met, we will contact you for an initial consultation.
Sign Contract and CEU Certification Training
All potential instructors are required to sign a contract and complete the CEU Approved Instructor Certification training course (refundable with a successful course launch within 6 months). If you do not have prior online teaching experience (apart from Zoom), you have two options: (1) complete the Certificate in Online Teaching course prior to the CEU Approved Instructor Certification training course (available as a discounted training course bundle) or (2) enlist the help of a certified Course Developer. If you go with option (1) and purchase the bundle, the cost of the CEU Approved Instructor Certification training course ($279) is still refundable with a successful course launch within 6 months. The rate for option 2 depends on previous teaching experience and the level of Course Developer assistance needed.
Onboarding and Course Build
As a newly-minted CEU Certified Instructor, you are granted access to the LMS platform and trained on how to use it from the instructor end. The LMS onboarding lasts 1-hour and is the final step before new instructors are released to begin course building. New SGC instructors may choose to work with a certified Course Developer to expedite the course creation process.
CEU Compliance Review and Course Launch
After your course is built and content prepared for release, a SGC administrator will conduct a CEU compliance review of your course. This ensures that all CEU Diamond Standards are being met and serves as a "last look" before your course launch.
