Planning document for the instructor training workshop

Random points

  • Apart from teaching how to teach, we should include a section on how to develop a lesson from scratch
  • We should cover several important concepts (many borrowed from Carpentries):
    • learner profiles
    • mind maps
    • cognitive load
    • having clear take-home messages from each lesson/episode
    • etc...

Exercises

Hands-on teaching

  • split into groups of 3
  • select a CR lesson episode from a list that we've compiled
  • each group member prepares their episode for 5-10 minutes
  • each member "teachers" the episode to the others
  • the others give constructive feedback
  • after exercise, whole room discusses difficulties encountered and lessons learned

Designing an exercise

  • Split into groups
  • Each group member designs a new exercise
    • either something original
    • or from a list of suggested simple technical topics (e.g. how to do X with Git)
  • each member "teaches" the exercise, explains it to the other members, other members solve the exercise and give feedback
