Interested in teaching for Charm School? We need you!

You don't need to be a “charm expert” to participate. Pick a topic that you can speak about for brief fifteen minute class intervals. If you would like to teach a class but are unsure of where to start, just let us know and we will help you to develop a short curriculum. You can also create a session from one of our suggestions listed below.

Charm School is a four hour event hosted in the Stratton Student Center on the afternoon of January 29, 2010. Classes will run for fifteen minutes at a time, with a bell chime identifying a break in classes. We ask that instructors limit their classes to fifteen minutes so students have an opportunity to experience a breadth of Charm classes. Given the limited class time, be specific in your topic! For example, the topic of Networking could be broken down into the following individual classes: How to Shake Hands, Starting a Conversation, Staying Connected with Contacts, Connecting in the Office, Business Cards 101, Body Language, How to Exude Confidence, etc.

Past instructors have created handouts to supplement their classes, which have included articles, curriculum outlines, or tip sheets. In an effort to go green, we are asking instructors to limit handouts to a quarter-sheet size of paper. If you would like your material to enter the Charm School instruction archive, please submit your materials to charm@mit.edu.
