Winter-Spring Planning, 10 Dec 2018

Certification:

• End of February deadline
• Steps:
  • Participate in zoom instructor discussion session (this may be deprecated)
  • Make a contribution to a lesson
    • don’t forget to report to the certification people about doing this.
  • Pick and master a lesson
  • Instructor check-out on Zoom
  • We have asked Tim Dennis to do a dedicated checkout for us, either ftf or zoom

Advice:

• Katja recommends:
  • 1-day workshops for starters while we get comfortable.
  • Simple bash and git lessons are useful.
  • Run them on Saturdays.
  • Time commitment
    • prep time is extensive:
      • clone and customize the lesson repo
      • instructor really needs to work through all of the exercises beforehand. be able to do it comfortably.
• Ben
  • very supportive.
  • working downtown now. Can’t commit for January/February–has RFP’s out.
  • Shared spatial lessons–said there’s a better library to use by default.

Logistics decisions:

• Concentrate on Git / Bash lessons for instructor checkout
• External trainers for 3 2-day workshops so we all get floater / co-teacher experience
• Let library staff register for first 3 seats?
• Keep Frew informed.
• classrooms 1312 or 1575 by default
• Thursday-Friday (or other days?) during breaks, summer, or week 1
• Winter lead instructors:
  • Katja–could do Fri / Sat January 25-26 (week 3)
    • at least 3 of us as floaters?
    • Mary as secondary instructor?
    • does Katja still want to do a spring aimed at EEMB(?)
  • paid external?
    • at least 3 of us as floaters
  • Ryan Avery or Julia Lowndes?
    • or co-teach or team with some of us?
