Title of the session: Making a case for Carpentries Membership to your institution a.k.a. lessons learnt from The Carpentries @ the University of Toronto project

Session details

Session type: panel
Keywords: membership, community, new instructors
Permission to record this session: Yes

Abstract

In 2019 the University of Toronto Libraries received funding from the Chief Librarian Innovation Grant to facilitate training of Carpentries instructors across the University of Toronto. Over the past year we have hosted an in-person instructor training session with 24 researchers, staff and students taking part, many of whom then became instructors for one of the 3 workshops from all 3 carpentries areas.
This panel includes perspectives from the folks who wrote the proposal, staff and student views on instructor training, and organizers of the carpentries workshops. We'll share what was valuable, challenging, and unexpected about the membership, and we'll open the session up in advance if the community would like to submit questions for the panelists.

Hi @JordanPedersen !! Thanks for submitting this proposal. We're hoping to invite feedback from the community next week - if you'd like any help with this, or feedback before presenting, add it in a comment to this issue; otherwise, we'll assume your proposal is set as is.

Hi @JordanPedersen, the organising committee reviewed this session proposal and had this to say:

Memberships is one of the key programs that helps to sustain The Carpentries, and this will be a very useful session to help introduce The Carpentries to decision makers in potential member organisations

We are looking forward to your session, and more details i.e. around scheduling will be shared with you in the coming days. Let me know if I can answer any questions or clarify anything for the time being. Thanks Jordan!
