  INTRODUCTION

  Edit the general explanatory paragraph below if you want to change
  the pitch.
-->

<p>
<a href="{{ site.carpentries_site }}">The Carpentries</a> is a community of practice centered around teaching foundational
  coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide.
  This Lesson Developer Training teaches good practices in lesson design and development, and collaboration skills, using open source infrastructure.
  The target audience is groups of collaborators with an idea for a new lesson they would like to create together, especially if that lesson is intended for short-format training (e.g. part or all of a two-day workshop).
</p>

<h3>What is taught in this training?</h3>

<p>After attending Carpentries Lesson Developer Training, participants will be able to:</p>

* collaboratively develop and publish lessons using The Carpentries lesson infrastructure (aka [The Carpentries Workbench](https://carpentries.github.io/workbench/))
* identify and characterise the target audience for a lesson.
* define SMART learning objectives.
* explain the pedagogical value of authentic tasks.
* create exercises for formative assessment.
* explain how considerations of cognitive load can influence the pacing, length, and organisation of a lesson.
* configure and maintain accessible and usable lesson repositories using best practices, readily available for collaboration.
* identify and correct accessibility issues in a Carpentries lesson.
* update and improve lesson material guided by feedback and reflection from teaching.
* review and provide constructive feedback on lessons.

<h3>What is <em>not</em> taught in this training?</h3>

<p> Because we have only limited time, some things are beyond the scope of this training. We will
not be learning:</p>

* How to track changes and manage branches with Git. To learn these skills, we recommend that you follow the lessons from Library Carpentry and Software Carpentry:
    * [Library Carpentry: Introduction to Git](https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-git/)
    * [Version Control with Git](https://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/)
* How to teach a lesson in a workshop. [The Carpentries Instructor Training]({{ site.training_site }}) teaches foundational skills for excellent teaching.


<h3>What to expect in this part of the training</h3>

<p> Lesson Developer Training events are hands-on throughout:
short lessons are interspersed with frequent practical exercises, through which trainees construct the basic outline of their lesson and begin to fill in some of the detail.
For more information, see <a href="{{ site.lessondev_training_site }}">the Lesson Developer Training Curriculum</a>.
</p>

<p>
The training takes place in two parts separated by an extended break.
</p>

{% if page.part == "1" %}
<p>
This first part focusses on backward lesson design and techniques for the development of effective exercises and accessible lesson content.
Trainees will define the target audience and intended learning outcomes of their lesson,
produce an outline of the lesson content and narrative,
prepare exercises and examples for a chosen section,
and start building this material into an open source lesson website.
</p>
<p>
Trainees are required to trial part of their new lesson with a real audience during the break between this first part and the conclusion of the training.
When they return for the second and final part of the training, participants will reflect on this experience and discuss how they will approach the remaining stages of lesson development.
</p>
{% elsif page.part == "2" %}
<p>
In this second and final part of the training, participants will reflect on the experience of trialling their new lesson content,
the remaining stages of lesson development,
and some techniques and tools they can use to collaborate more effectively on their open source lesson project.
</p>
{% else %}
<div class="alert alert-warning">
