Python Trainers Summit - Hatchery 2020

The Python Trainers Summit is a new hatchery program for PyCon 2020! As Python grows as a language, both in popularity and complexity, so too must training for existing users. While this area does fall under education, one-off short form training and professional development have unique needs, questions, and expertise. Being related to education, but not always identifying primarily as educators, many trainers are isolated from the broader community of expertise on teaching and learning. Many operate as independent freelancers, so they may lack a network of colleagues to connect with and learn from. This means that they are missing out on key discoveries and practices from the traditional education community, and the educator community is missing out on the expertise of teaching adult professional learners. -Elizabeth Wickes, Host and Welcome Remarks -Reuven Lerner, The business of training: An introduction -Trey Hunner, My teaching setup: the pros and cons -Moshe Zadka, Giving a Tutorial at a Python Conference: Unexpected Challenges -Karen Word, Adapting In Person Trainings to Online
