Hi All, We recently opened a request for comment (RFC) around changing the instructor discussion element of the checkout process for new instructors (see the GitHub issue here for a record of the conversation: https://github.com/carpentries/instructor-development/issues/71 <https://github.com/carpentries/instructor-development/issues/71>). Thanks to everyone who provided input on this. The Instructor Development Committee and Instructor Training Team need time to discuss all this and re-envision the goals and requirements for the checkout process for instructor training, but we realize there are several instructor training events taking place through the end of the year. Therefore, we will make the following adjustments:
Anyone wishing to complete their Carpentries instructor training checkout through to December 31, 2018 will complete the current requirements for instructor discussion sessions. Anyone wishing to complete their Carpentries instructor training checkout beginning January 1, 2019 will do so with the revised requirements. I.e. anyone who is yet to complete their checkout when 2019 begins will then be required to fulfil whatever new requirements are decided on. We (the Instructor Training Team, Instructor Development Committee, and Community Engagement Lead) will be re-envisioning these requirements over the next two months. The new requirements will be similar in time commitment to the current discussion session requirement. Thanks, Toby (on behalf of the Instructor Development Committee) ------------------------------------------ The Carpentries: discuss Permalink: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T5649090bf3c5628a-Mc7bad0eaf8ac6998a416bb23 Delivery options: https://carpentries.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
