PLATO depends on volunteer Course Coordinators to offer courses for our members.

If you are interested in coordinating a PLATO course, please submit a Course Proposal Form to Kathy Brown (kathytft@charter.net) or Curriculum Chair, Kathie Burman (kburman@burmancoffee.com) . Feel free to contact them if you would like help in developing your idea.

You may also get started with learning more about the process by exploring PLATO's Curriculum Coordinator Toolkit.

Any member can propose a course. Some coordinators are retired educators who are willing to continue sharing their knowledge, but most coordinators are members with a strong interests and enthusiasms that they wish to share with others.

Course format is flexible ranging from lectures with discussions, book discussions, presentations by course members, memoir and writing workshops, and hands-on activities like making artwork or crafting.
