We are delighted to announce the Carpentries Instructor Training workshop will take place on 19-22 November 2024, 1-5pm GMT, as part of the Research Software Camp: Digital Skills for Research Technical Staff.
Register your interest to take part. Spaces are limited and we will allocate this on a first-come-first-serve basis. The organising team will contact participants in early November 2024.
Please note attendees must have some previous exposure to Carpentries workshops, either as a student, helper, observer or co-instructor - to help set the things we will teach at the workshop in the right context.
What is Instructor Training?
Instructor Training teaches evidence-based approaches and pedagogy for teaching computational and data skills to novices effectively. It is part of the official training for becoming a certified Carpentries instructor. It also:
- Teaches how to create a positive environment for learners at workshops and classes and motivate your learners.
- Provides opportunities to practise and build your own teaching skills.
- Prepares you to use these teaching skills in Carpentry workshops (but are also useful across any teaching you may do).
- Helps you become an integrated member of the Carpentries community.
