Hi everyone,
Over the past few months, I've been running a one-day introduction to
teaching based on the Carpentries' instructor training course for
grassroots get-into-coding organizations in Toronto focused on a variety
of under-represented groups. Some of the people involved have asked for
a printed copy of the material, so I have cut down the training
materials as they were in January to make a short booklet. It is now
available at cost from:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/greg-wilson/how-to-teach-programming-and-other-things/paperback/product-23200026.html
(Or rather as close to "at cost" as Lulu will allow - it insists that I
make a profit of $0.02 per copy, which I will use to buy stickers every
once in a while.) I'm using it in some more classes over the summer,
and I'll report back after the August release about whether it might be
worth doing something like this more generally. I hope some of you will
find it useful, and if anyone else is using some or all of the Carpentry
instructor training for non-researchers, please give me a shout - I'd
welcome a chance to compare notes.
Cheers,
Greg
