The Carpentries is a global program to teach foundational computational and data management skills to researchers. New Zealand trains several potential carpentries instructor trainees every year and it is time to train a new cohort of future instructors. Our next instructor training course will be held virtually in late October 2022.
This training is organised by New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI), University of Otago, the Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR), and Genomics Aotearoa.
If you're interested in raising digital literacy in Aotearoa New Zealand by running local workshops (wherever you are based nationally), this training is for you!
This course aims to achieve the following goals:
- Introduce you to evidence-based best-practices of teaching.
- Teach you how to create a positive environment for learners at your workshops.
- Provide opportunities for you to practice and build your teaching skills.
- Help you become integrated into the Carpentries community.
- Prepare you to use these skills in teaching Carpentries workshops.
To be considered for this round of instructor training, please fill out this expression of interest by Wednesday, 31 August 2022.
Please use this form to indicate whether you are unable to attend this session in October and would like to be considered for the upcoming instructor training sessions in 2023.
We always appreciate diversity amongst our Carpentries instructors and especially encourage applications from people based in Palmerston North, Hamilton, and Christchurch, as these are locations where we are looking to build-up a stronger Carpentries presence.
Applicants from diverse backgrounds, gender expressions, and skills are highly encouraged & warmly welcomed!
