A.L.L. NEEDS YOU!
Become a Coordinator of a class at the Academy
for Lifelong Learning in the Fall 2015 Session,
at one of our many locations.
A.L.L. courses are generally led by retired educators, professionals,
artists, writers, and others who are willing to share their passion on
a topic or set of topics with the students. It allows the opportunity to inspire others to learn and
explore. In addition one can lead class members without the administrative burdens of traditional
teaching. It often permits the development of innovative and interesting learning experiences.
Mature students are eager to learn, which makes coordinating a fun experience.
Note: We are developing a digital database to improve the processing of proposals.
If possible, please submit your proposal on-line, following the instructions given on
our website (www.allcapecod.org). If you have trouble accessing the webpage for
online submission you may get help from Kerry Arnett in the A.L.L. office, or from
Holly Anderson <[email protected]> or Syd Lamb <[email protected]>.
If you must use this form instead, bring it to the A.L.L. office at CCCC.
