YOUR TEACHING SKILLS MATTER ...
-
On Social -
You're creating content for Instagram and you want your posts to TRULY impact the people reading them. -
In Your Emails -
You're writing an email to your list, and you want to make sure your reader gets past that third sentence. -
In your Resources -
You're starting to grow your client load, and you need to build resources so you don't spend 80% of the time repeating yourself. -
In Your products -
You're building a freebie or educational product, and you want that person's first impression to be that YOU are the instructor for them.
It seems overwhelming…
It's okay to be confused about a process you've never been taught.
You’re in the right place.
"Write down everything you know"... isn't an evidence-based process.
Reverse Course Design is.
RCD is a “flipped” curriculum model that encourages the instructor to prioritize the STUDENT and their RESULTS over the teacher’s personal knowledge and experiences. It’s an evidence-based and well-researched process that’s used heavily across academic settings… but seemingly missing from the world of online business.
You would never write a workout plan for a client without a personal training certification… why is it okay to create a course without education on how LEARNING actually works?
let me introduce

"BEFORE SHS, I WAS HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF LONG VIDEO LECTURES AND BORING PDFS."
– Dani Kehlmann
Let's Get Clear:
this is a self-paced course
It will take you less than 6 hours to go through, from start to finish. (If you're a course purchaser but not a course finisher, don't worry... this was designed for you).
to teach you educational psychology
From student engagement strategies to scaffolding information, this course covers PhD level concepts YOU need to know... but at an 8th grade reading level.
AND you'll walk away with a plan
This is not a course where I just GIVE you information. You'll use my "Ultimate Course Builder" tool to actually PLAN your course or curriculum as you go.
"Okay, but I've bought SO many courses on business and haven't used them..."
Yes, my friend.
You and the rest of everyone who has ever purchased a course online.
In fact, the AVERAGE online course completion rate is about 15%.
What makes a poor course?
- Courses that don't leverage the science of student engagement.
- Design that prioritizes the instructor's knowledge over the learner's results.
Most online courses are built by people who don’t have any background in curriculum design, so they end up feeling like a workout plan designed by someone WITHOUT a personal training certificate.
That’s the problem Six-hour syllabus is trying to SOLVE.
LET'S DIVE IN!
Here's What You'll Learn
module 1
Learn Your Learner
We’ll kickoff the course with a deep dive on the psychological and tangible factors impacting your “target learner”, so you can build a course just for them.
module 2
Determine Your Outcomes
Stop centering your educational materials on what YOU know and trying to cram your expertise into too many modules…we’ll instead start with the tangible & emotional outcome you want your student to reach.
module 3
Write Your Assessment
Learn what’s important to assess both pre and post-course and how to write qualitative and quantitative assessment questions. (Or, borrow our pre-made templates for you to duplicate!)
module 4
Pick Your Course Structure
Sorting your course modules by “category” is about as useful as doing legs week one, arms week two, and back week three. Learn to choose a structure that will actually help your students succeed.
module 5
Choose Learning Objectives
No more overwhelm! By the end of this module, you know EXACTLY what your student will know, practice, and integrate during EACH week, lesson, or module of your program.
module 6
Build Engaging Lessons
Featuring over 100 student engagement and lesson planning prompts, this is where we help you build a course that ACTUALLY stands out. Slapping video lectures together is not enough!
"I knew I was sitting on a brilliant course idea but I was totally overwhelmed and stuck on where to start."
In the past, I’ve spent money on courses that, from a learning perspective, weren’t great fits for me (ie: boring, hard to absorb, or difficult to apply)… and I rarely completed them. I wanted my course to be different – to be fun, stupid helpful, and to literally change lives. This is what Six Hour Syllabus helped me create. Karin is an expert, like a literal doctor, in curriculum design. I have the perfect foundation (that I can use repeatedly!) for my course and I know EXACTLY what to do. I also know it will get results for my clients. If you’re on the fence about purchasing it, let this be the permission you need. You won’t regret it, and neither will any of the people who take your future course. Thanks, Karin!

LET'S GET ACQUAINTED
Hey there, I'm Karin!
I’m a PhD level expert in curriculum design who narrowly dodged a career in academia and swerved into the world of online business. Within my PhD, I studied (and published research) on how to best design online courses and facilitate growth mindset & student engagement in adult learners.
When I jumped into the world of online business... I was shocked. The way that the business "coaches" out there were teaching course design was contrary to research, completely out of date, and didn't make any damn sense... I knew I had to do something.
That’s why I created Six Hour Syllabus. Not only have I used these educational psychology principles to grow a multiple six (and soon to be seven) figure business in less than three years, but I’ve seen countless business owners find relaxation, clarity, and solace in a framework that was built on EMPOWERMENT and LEARNING rather than manipulation and selling. I can’t wait to see you inside the course!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get feedback from you on my course outline?
Nope! Six Hour Syllabus is self-led and there is no feedback given. There are quizzes at the end of each module to help you check your knowledge, and the BEST feedback givers will actually be your STUDENTS – which is why we have a bonus module that teaches you how to “beta launch” your course.
Can SHS be used to build a 1:1 coaching curriculum?
Absolutely. The Six Hour Syllabus can be used to create curriculum for ANY educational material (freebie, 1:1, group program, challenge, etc). Here’s what one of our graduates had to say about that experience: “I realized that I had never really defined a clear tangible outcome (I see very different clients, with different needs). I expected my clients to understand and implement right away. And with all the resources provided, it’s going to be very helpful to work on the PRACTICE portion more, and I know that’s going to help my clients a lot.”
Is this program live? How long do I have access?
Nope! Six Hour Syllabus is a completely self-led course and you have lifetime access. That means you can buy it and wait to work on it, buy it and work on it for a while and then come back, etc. I consistently have SHS graduates tell me they return to the modules and Ultimate Course Builder anytime they build curriculum!
Will my course be ready for students when the I’m done with SHS?
No. I want to be very clear that this course takes you through the PLANNING process for a course. You’ll have a crystal-clear roadmap for how to get to “course is done.” You’ll know what to put in each module, what resources need to be created to scaffold learning, and you’ll even know how long those things will take YOU to complete. Then, it’s up to you to follow the plan. There isn’t any possible way someone can create all the materials for a good quality course in six hours.
Does karin do any 1:1 coaching or consulting on this?
Nope, Karin does not do any 1:1 curriculum work at this time, outside of quarterly office hours for Six Hour Syllabus students and members of the ScalEd mastermind.
