Hi Bill; thanks for your mail.
- Clear guidance for instructors in the form of a short, useful
Instructor Handbook, that guides the process of setting up & preparing
for a workshop. This should be short, practical, and complete - feel
free to continue brainstorming at
https://etherpad.mozilla.org/newInstructorWelcomePackage, and perhaps
we can write up a first cut based on your ideas there in the new year.
+1 to more notes for instructors, but I'd much rather we put it in
GitHub - that's where the rest of our content goes, it'll do
notifications for people who want them, and it's easy to review pull
requests. The checklists are all in the 'site' repo
(https://github.com/swcarpentry/site) in the workshops/checklists
directory - if you'd rather not check out 'site' (which is rather large)
you can always edit directly on GitHub and send PRs that way.
- A more structured mentorship model. Greg has hopes to pursue this
in concert with the Steering Committee in the new year. In the
meantime, more community brainstorming is always better:
https://etherpad.mozilla.org/SWCmentorsGuide
Again, I'd prefer to keep things in GitHub -
https://github.com/swcarpentry/instructor-training has the notes that
Bill and I have been assembling on instructor training, and pull
requests on that would be very welcome.
- A video maintainer role, to help organize and maintain a collection
of videos that will bring examples of teaching to the community,
without the overhead of actually attending events.
+1 --- even if you can't get videos of entire workshops, short videos of
particular topics (5-15 minutes long) showing how we teach X, Y, or Z
would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Greg
