Out of the Box   

Have you taken OLLI courses and thought maybe it would be fun to try your hand at teaching a class? Or maybe you have already plunged into teaching, but you would like some extra help in preparation and organization. Over the course of eight weeks, we will take you through all the steps, beginning with selecting a topic and ending with teaching a sample class. We will talk about possible formats, bolster your research skills, and provide you with lots of information about effectively working with OLLI scholars. By the end of this hands-on class, you will be well on your way to becoming a dedicated OLLI instructor.

This course is for bridge players who are familiar with basic bidding and play of the hand. Students will learn the basics of Two Over One Bidding, Jacoby and Bergen Raises, One Notrump Responses, Constructive Raises, & Weak Raises. They will also be introduced to helpful conventions, such as Puppet Stayman and Drury Raises. Each class will include lecture and play.
