Train-the-Trainer program π§©
A Pilot of the Train-the-Trainer ProgramYou are all experts in your field, the tools that you use and the way you work. The train-the-trainer program wants to ensure that each trainer has the ability to teach their skills to others. Part 1: Learning about DidacticsIn this part we will learn how to be(come) good trainers. We will do so by teaching each other principles of teaching that are based on best practices. We want to break the bad habit of teacher-centered teaching and work according to evidence on how people learn well. Didactics-lesson preparation and teaching can be done alone or in pairs.
Part 2: PracticalsIn this part we will put our new knowledge into practice by teaching a course. Courses may be taught alone or in pairs. The format and type of course can be chosen freely. It just needs to feel like a course and not just a one hour session. These courses will already be official Digital Research Academy courses and course participants will pay a fee for participation (we can offer stipends). This way we can finance the trainer training and learn how well the course (type) sells.
Interested in joining?As this whole thing is an experiment, we'd like to run a pilot of this train-the-trainer program. We've already collected a small fun group of future trainers and would like to offer the possibility for you to join as well. Dates:
