Welcome to Campus Advisor Training

Welcome to Campus Advisor training. We’re so happy you’re here!

In this training, you will be presented with a mix of video lessons and assignments. All videos and assignments can be found in this repository under their respective modules.

In each module, you will find video lessons marked with this icon 📺 and assignments will be marked with this icon 📓.

To begin

Your journey begins in Module 0, where you’ll setup everything you need to complete the training.

When you are finished

Note: Campus Advisor approvals are currently on hold. You may continue with your application, but applications will not be reviewed and interviews will not be offered before December 2020. Training requirements may also change in December, although you may still find value in completing the current training. You may apply now, and we will reach out to you when approvals resume in December.

Once you have completed the training, you’re free to end there with your new knowledge. If you want to take it a step further, you might want to become a GitHub Campus Advisor.

GitHub Campus Advisors are a community of educator leaders who champion industry tools in their classroom. As a Campus Advisor, you’ll:

• Join a collaborative network that allows you to learn from your peers, see how they’re supporting their classrooms, and share your own tips
• Receive professional development support from GitHub
• Be invited to participate in GitHub Education sponsored conferences

Educators who have been approved for faculty benefits through the GitHub Teacher Toolbox may apply to become a Campus Advisor. Once you have completed Modules 1-4, you can find a link to the Campus Advisor application in the GitHub Teacher Toolbox. After filling that out, we will review your training materials and follow up with you to schedule a short 15-minute interview.
