Howdy all,
Instructor Training at the University of Washington was a big hit,
thanks to all who participated! But, we can do even more; new
instructors are consistently asking for more concrete and practical
insight into the what and how of teaching SWC, and we're cooking up a
strategy for this. I summarized ideas from a conversation between Warren
Code and myself in a blog post:
http://mozillascience.org/train-the-trainers-next-iterations/
blog TLDR: a big final exercise on planning an entire unit (or at least
a big chunk of one), so they go home with a first cut at a lesson plan
for their first workshop, and solid familiarity with the curriculum of
that unit.
Would love feedback on this idea, and to hear your ideas too!
Instructors, what crunchy practical skills or knowledge do you wish
someone had told you before you taught your first workshop? Let us know!
