课后美术班或美术拓展项目，为孩子们提供了亟需的额外美术体验！ 这类课程与美术社团不同，学生需缴纳费用参加。我非常幸运，所在学校允许我开办课后美术班（该班完全独立于校方运作，如同校外机构——所有教具由我自购，全部宣传费用由我承担，因此校方允许我保留全部盈利）。我们此前也举办过暑期美术营，但如今我专注于学年内的课后美术班——这更契合我家的实际安排。
以下是我一路摸索并自主开发的实用建议与免费资源，助你顺利开展并取得成功！（本文视角为一位在本校任教的美术教师。）
开设课后美术班的步骤：
- 获得校方管理层批准。明确告知校方：你将全权负责该班——包括全部经费收支、教具采购与清洁、以及宣传推广。此举不会给校方增添任何额外工作量（因此你应有权保留全部盈利）。**同时确认是否允许非本校注册学生报名参加。
- 确定课程时长、开课时段、学费标准、授课年龄段及班级人数上限、上课地点。（我采用每周一次、每次75分钟、每期10周、学费125美元的方式，在秋季与春季各开一期，上课地点为我的美术教室。）
- 小贴士： 给本校教师子女提供学费优惠（减15美元）——他们往往是课程最有力的推广者！
- 可考虑拟定一份书面协议，以清晰界定双方权责。内容应包括：
- 课程时段（10周为宜；我曾尝试12周，但感觉过长）
- 上课地点（美术教室、食堂等——必须配备水槽！！）
- 适龄范围：幼儿园至五年级，或分设两个班——幼儿园至二年级、三年级至五年级
- 班级人数上限：建议不超过16人——超过此数将难以实施个性化指导
- 若校方要求你返还部分盈利，用于支付场地使用费
- 教具来源及采购责任归属
- 学费收款方——即你自己
- 获得校方许可，面向全体学生及通过校内媒体开展宣传。
- 宣传推广（开课前3–4周启动）：
- 制作宣传单页与报名表：我的范例表格——课后美术班报名表（PDF范例）
- 撰写课程简介，供各科教师通讯简报及校刊刊登
- 撰写课程简介，发布于学校官网
- 校外宣传渠道：在家上学合作团体、Facebook（个人主页或专设页面）、个人博客/网站、校园及社区张贴海报或告示牌
- 建立报名信息电子表格，兼顾招生管理与税务申报需求——美术班报名表（空白版）
- 妥善保存所有收据与银行存单，统一装入信封以备报税。
-
制定课堂常规与规则，并在美术班首日明确讲解并落实执行！ 这与日常课堂教学无异——若开局未重视课堂管理，后续必然后悔！
-
课后美术班管理制度与流程——至关重要！务必于开班首日发给家长！内容涵盖退费政策、恶劣天气应对方案等。课后美术班管理制度与流程
-
在开课前规划好课程项目序列，备妥教案及示范作品！我通常每1–2周完成1个创作项目（受限于单次课时长度：75分钟）。
- 全程拍摄照片并做好教学笔记。
- 享受过程，乐在其中！

After school art classes or art enrichment programs provide much needed additional art experiences for kids! These are DIFFERENT from an art club because students pay for these classes. I feel very fortunate that my school allowed me to start an after school art class (this class completely independent from the school as if I was an outside source-I buy ALL my own supplies & pay for ALL advertising on my own, so they let me keep all profit). We have done summer camps as well, but now I focus on after school classes during the school year-it works best for my family.
These are tips & FREE resources I have learned and created along the way that make it very successful now! (This is from the point of view of an art teacher at her own school.)
Steps to Start an After School Art Class:
- Get approval from your administration. Let them know that you will be taking care of the class 100%-all money, supplies/clean-up & advertising. It will be NO extra work for them (so you should be able to keep all profits). **Also check on approval for students not enrolled at the school to attend.
- Decide class length, session dates, tuition, class ages & # limit, and location. (I do once a week-1 hr/15 minutes, 10 week sessions for $125 in my art room in the fall & another in the spring)
- TIP: Give Teacher’s kids a price break ($15 off)-they are great promoters for the class!
- You may want to write up a contract so expectations are fully set up by both parties. Include:
- Date of class sessions (10 weeks is a good length, I’ve done 12 weeks & that seemed too long)
- Location of the class (art room, cafeteria-needs to be somewhere with a sink!!)
- Age Ranges: k-5 or 2 separate classes k-2 & 3-5
- Class enrollment limit: I suggest limiting to 16 children-it’s hard to give individual instruction with more than that
- If they want you to give some portion of the profit back to pay for facility usage.
- Where the supplies will come from-who will purchase?
- Who tuition for the class is paid to-you
- Get approval to advertise to the student population & through school media.
- Advertising: (3-4 weeks prior to start of class)
- Make flyers/forms: here is my form –After School Art Class Sign Up Form- Example (PDF)
- Write a blurb about the class to go in teachers newsletters and the school newsletter
- Write a blurb about the class to go on the school website
- Advertising outside the school: home school co-ops, Facebook-on your personal FB or create a FB page, advertise on your personal blog/website, Flyers or signs around the school or your neighborhood
- Keep a spreadsheet for Enrollment & Tax Purposes- Art Class Enrollment (Blank)
- Keep ALL receipts & deposit slips in an envelop for taxes.
- Come up with classroom procedures/rules & TEACH them the first day of the art class!! This is just like your classroom-if you don’t start off with classroom management you’ll regret it!
- Policies & Procedures for the After School Art class-VERY IMPORTANT-give to parents first day of class!! Includes refund policy, bad weather policy, etc. After School Art Class Policies & Procedures
- Figure out your project line up before the session starts, have lessons plans and an example ready before presenting the lesson! I usually get 1 project done every 1-2 weeks (because of the length of the class 1hr 15 min.)
- Take pictures & notes along the way.
- HAVE FUN!!
