Become an Instructor

Elsewhere Academy is a working school built around applied study. We partner with instructors who can translate lived experience, research, or technical skill into structured, usable learning.

We are looking for educators who can design clear outcomes, organized modules, and assignments that require students to produce something meaningful. A strong course here includes defined objectives, practical exercises, review points, and a final deliverable that demonstrates applied understanding.

You do not need institutional credentials. You do need clarity, depth, and the ability to guide learners through material in a disciplined way.

All instructor applications are reviewed. We provide publishing guidelines, formatting standards, and editorial feedback before a course goes live. Instructors submit drafts for approval to ensure quality and consistency across the Academy.

If you are interested, submit an application including:
• Your background and areas of expertise
• A proposed course title and outline
• The intended learning outcomes
• A description of what students will create or demonstrate by completion

Elsewhere Academy supports instructors with platform infrastructure, payment processing, and structured review. We are committed to building courses that increase real capability and measurable growth.

Purpose
This Code of Conduct establishes the standards required of all instructors at Elsewhere Academy. It protects academic quality, student experience, and institutional integrity.

1. Professional Conduct
   Instructors must conduct themselves professionally in all course materials, communications, and interactions with students and staff. Harassment, intimidation, threats, or degrading language are prohibited.

   Course content and instructor conduct may not promote discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics. Supremacist ideology, dehumanizing rhetoric, or advocacy of exclusionary hierarchy is prohibited.
3. No Extremist Advocacy
   Elsewhere Academy does not permit content that promotes violent extremism, recruitment into extremist movements, or advocacy of racial or ideological supremacy.

   Instructors are responsible for the accuracy of claims made in course materials. Assertions presented as factual must be supportable. Misleading data, fabricated sources, or deliberate distortion of evidence is grounds for removal.
5. Academic Integrity
   Plagiarism is prohibited. All materials must be original or properly licensed and attributed. Use of copyrighted material must comply with applicable law.
6. Applied Standards
   Courses must include defined learning outcomes, structured modules, and assignments that require demonstration of understanding. Courses may not consist solely of opinion, commentary, or unstructured lecture.

   The Academy may not be used for partisan campaigning, fundraising for political causes, or unrelated commercial promotion.
9. Student Boundaries
   Instructors may not solicit students for unrelated business ventures without explicit institutional approval. Private coaching, upsells, or external offers must be disclosed.

    Violation of this Code may result in course removal, suspension, or termination of instructor privileges without refund of platform fees.
