Monthly Lesson Development Coworking Sessions
Partly inspired by the Maintainer Coworking Corral series, these sessions are intended to provide our lesson development community with an opportunity to get together and make regular progress on a lesson. The sessions will take place in two time slots on the last Thursday of every month, and are listed on the Community Calendar. 

Instructor Development Committee Applications
The Workshop Administration Team has extended the application deadline for the Instructor Development Committee (IDC) to Friday, January 28.

The IDC supports Instructors as they transition from Instructor Training to becoming actively engaged in community activities such as teaching and curriculum development. Your engagement and participation would be beneficial to our Instructors. The expected time commitment is 1-2 hours per week. For more information about the IDC please read this blogpost.

If you are interested please submit an application. Feel free to email team@carpentries.org if you have any questions.
