Becoming a trainer

Individuals who have worked at the media lab for at least a semester can start the process of becoming a software trainer. In order to become a trainer, you must complete the following:

  1. Attend a class (as a student) on the clock
  2. Watch all the training videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUN2ZdH3oWpuKN5DWzXOwhzOpNxazacG_
  3. Go to all of the new trainer training meetings (these meetings should be scheduled by the training lead and Ben if they are being held that semester)
  4. Get scheduled to be the third co-teacher for a class where you have at least the level 1 badge (assigned by scheduler and Ben)
    • Coordinate with the teacher to teach one skill on each of the last two days and get feedback from one of the co-teachers
  5. Give a 5-minute training in team meeting and get feedback (talk to Ben or one of the leads to set this up)
  6. Get scheduled to teach your first class. Tag Ben and the training lead in a comment on Trello telling them what day you are teaching so they can observe you and give feedback.
  7. Submit your trainer badge on badgelist
