I added 5 mins outro to https://coderefinery.github.io/train-the-trainer/guide/ but now it does not add up. I did not want to just shorten other episodes but some will need to be shortened.

[samumantha]

Thanks, will look into it!

Hei @stepas-toliautas, what does it take to finalize the co-teaching episode? Would you take the lead on this episode? And would you like to co-teach the teaching philosophies episode?

What it takes -- mostly time to sit down for it :) most likely by Friday, might be today/ tomorrow as well. Also, it definitely needs an experienced CR member to co-teach about co-teaching -- any volunteers? For teaching philosophies, I'm very much OK to be the co-pilot, yes.

[samumantha]

Sorry for the double posting. Thanks! I'll find you a co-teacher for the co-teaching episode :)

@linguist89 @blindij @stepas-toliautas Is there anything that learners need to prepare/install/think about/ know to follow or understand your session on Day 3 that we should mention in the email going out tomorrow? Current email draft: https://github.com/coderefinery/train-the-trainer/issues/100#issuecomment-2302423742

[samumantha]

I'll have to send this email to participants now as is. However, if something still comes up that would be good that participants know about beforehand, please let me know asap and we can send an additional email.
