If you’ve ever thought you might like to teach glass art or have done a little teaching and would like to improve your skills as a teacher, this is for you. Dennis Brady has 40 years experience as an educator and glass artisan. He can teach you how to become a teacher or how to be a better teacher. Whether you want to teach stained glass, kilnforming, mosaics, torchworking or furnace work, the principles of teaching apply the same for all.
This book will teach you how to organize a class for whatever you want to teach and for whatever age group you want to teach – everything from kindergarten kids to the silver haired folks at the seniors center.
It will show you how to plan and prepare for a class to ensure it runs smoothly and how to deal with any problems that might interfere with that smooth flow. You’ll learn how to advertise and promote your class and how to establish class prices to allow for instructor time as well as tools and materials. It will also introduce you to some safety and liability issues with teaching.

Chapter 1 | Attitude – If you like it you’ll do it well | |

Chapter 3 | Preparation – Preparation produces positive performance | |
Chapter 4 | Managing – Effective management for effective results | |
