Introduction Video Option
To help us get to know you, we encourage you to submit a short (absolutely no more than 2 minutes) introductory video that talks about your expertise, background, what topics you're most passionate about, and your teaching style. If you are selected as a candidate the video will be required as part of your onboarding but is also included on your profile for courses. Those that include it with their application are more likely to be selected. We ask for a video link and do not take downloaded video. Use Canva if you need access to editing and to share it as a link. Please do not include any links to social media or anything other than an introduction video. Here's an example!
