BACKGROUND
In Season 5, the guild will continue to decentralize the remuneration process by keeping the paid roles up for everyone to contribute via workgroups. The focus for this season will continue to be inner-DAO education on contributing within the BanklessDAO as well as towards operating in web3.
MISSION & VALUES ALIGNMENT
The Education Guild plays a pivotal role in the Bankless mission. Our main focus is to focalize the organization of the guild, the nourishment of talent, and the coordination of necessary labor required for DAO operations and governance.

New Joiner Session
In season 4, the education guild took full charge of the DAO’s one-on-one onboarding sessions after the project champions of the could not continue due to lack of bandwidth. Since then, the guild has organized over 4 successful onboarding sessions for new members throughout season 4. Education Guild has made the New Joiner Session a one-stop easy to get plugged-in platform for all new DAO members and old members who have been overwhelmed with activities and couldn’t effectively contribute.
Season 5 focus.
The guild will continue to educate DAO members through knowledge sessions and How-to sessions. One notable thing the guild will add to its knowledge session is Governance know-hows. The guild will hold sessions to educate the DAO on some of the key improvements coming out of the Governance solution Engineer(GSE) program. Example - dissecting BanklessDAO Improvement Proposals - bDIP.etc.

Season 4 successes from CrossGuild Workgroup:
We began building the process of aligning incentives for a network of Crossguild “Spiders” to seek out other guilds and projects and report back to edu on what their upcoming educational needs there might be.
With eight Spiders in our network reporting back, we have a base to build on for Season 4; by leveraging the information they bring back, we will help the Education Workgroup develop educational workshops to address those needs. We plan to leverage the Spider network again in Season 5 for promoting said workshops in guild and project meetings across bDAO.
Retrospective analysis in the final weeks of season three revealed inefficiencies in Spider network reporting mechanisms which were addressed by streamlining the reporting and remuneration process for spiders using structures developed by Research Guild.

Season 4 was an experiment on the new structure that was proposed. This structure is still a work in progress. Education WG had a 2 fold mandate for Season 4. One to start ‘How to’ session to teach the New Members how the DAO uses the tools of the DAO. We have implemented 4 ‘How to’ sessions ( Sesh, Coordinape, Collab.land and Degen). The second mandate was to start ‘ Knowledge Sessions’ that will teach people how to use Defi Skills using the Skill Cube as a foundation.
