Recommended lessons for instructor training participants

[k8hertweck]

Rather than linking to all lessons for each lesson program, the pre-class email to folks taking instructor training should reference the preferred lessons instead.

@karenword Can you offer feedback on this? Should modify the curriculum so it does not reference a list of preferred lessons, or should we modify the Handbook so that it does reference a list of preferred lessons?

I think the preferred lessons should be maintained by Trainers, and as such should be contained with in the Instructor Training repository rather than the handbook.

Linking out is also a great way to shorten this monstrous email. +1!!

Actually, I read this wrong. The pre-class email that @k8hertweck is referring to does not list all preferred lessons. Rather it suggests that trainees should review any of the lessons in the three lesson programs.

Looks like I opened this issue long ago in the Instructor Training curriculum repo (carpentries/instructor-training#1019) but it was not resolved. Can we resolve that issue before making changes to the Handbook?

EDIT: Typo in link formatting

@karenword can you share what you want to do with this?

@sheraaronhurt Do you want to keep this issue active in the new handbook? If it is no longer relevant, we can close this issue.

Note for now, would just be moving the issue to the new handbook. We don't need to create new resources or materials yet

@maneesha keep active and move to new handbook so that I can review/discuss further.

@sheraaronhurt We have a list of recommended lessons for the teaching demo here. Do we need to have anything in the handbook?
