To suggest changes please post here: the requested change and justification.

So this instructor thingy...

Would that just qualify someone to teach a specific subject? Would they be granted access into the Apprentice/Knight forums even if they don't accept the mantle of either? Or is it just, 'hey, this person knows what they're talking about when it comes to (insert subject here), we should allow them to teach on that matter specifically'? A person for TM's to send their apprentices if they feel they cannot accurately or completely answer a question their apprentice may have?

I, too, am interested in this instructor position/rank. Sounds intriguing. Perhaps those of us who maybe aren't cut out to be knights but still have something to teach/say might find some utility around here... I like it.

Once RyuJin and team clean up the DQS, its my understanding that there will be open access. A visiting instructor will be permitted to submit lessons/classes to the DQS for review. Once reviewed, they can be taught.

There will be no access to apprentice or knight forum.

In regards to getting credit, the instructor would need to submit an excel sheet for any classes taught with the individuals names and the points they recieved.

If a TM sends a student to a visiting instructor for a lesson, once the lesson is complete, the instructor will let the TM know, who will log it on their sheet

That sounds amazing. Especially for those that have achieved knighthood elsewhere, or in several places, and/or have been teaching as Jedi for years now. Gives students a chance to learn officially through these valuable members.

These ideas sound like incredible strides to globalize not only this site but Jediism in general! Impressively good job here!!


So as I have discussed before I am most interested in this teaching title as well as completing the B-Div. And I would like to be a part of the team that develops these things. As a holder of the A-Div but one that does not hold the title of knight I think I am one of the few uniquely qualified for this sort of thing! What sort of timeframes can we expect in these endeavours?

I'm not sure about timeframe just yet, but I've asked RyuJin how long itll take to clean up the DQS so that it can really be open. I'm awaiting a reply

The concept of instructors seems fun, especially in terms of individuals who've hung around for awhile but aren't part of your hierarchy, or even, are specialised in something TOTJO doesn't offer. There's a few notable names who've been around over the years who I think would be of much benefit to your Order.

I'm also interested in seeing what changes will be made to the IP.

the guest instructor thing wouldn't be until sometime down the road, we have some other things to tidy up and get sorted.

likewise i know a few in the jedi community at large that i think would be happy to contribute...

How long before those of us qualified can start the B-Div?
