Thanks Bianca and Gerard for responding! From the amount of response I got (i.e. only two people) it seems like there is not that many resources yet for lesson writers. But see below.
I watched Felienne’s talk—less than 1 hr long and it was quite entertaining! I found out she brought out a lot of the points that are already part of Carpentry’s Instructor’s training, such as cognitive load, short-term/long-term memory, and assessment. I just started Greg’s video; apparently it also mentions a lot of points that are also contained in the Instructor’s training. Both videos are excellent, and are recommended watch for everyone! It seems like our Instructor’s Training lesson would be the first to absorb. Those writing lessons need to have the key points nailed in their heart and always critiquing every part of lesson they write in light of these point (e.g. how much cognitive load do I put on new learners when presenting this one matter, …?) Let me research into this some more. I do have need to train people to write lessons, and perhaps if time permits, I would write something that community can then gain benefit from.

I think there is an art to this approach, because we don't want to bog down new learners with everything there is to know (even at the novice level), but hit enough points so that learners take away useful things from the workshop.
