The instructor notes should provide additional discussion useful to instructors, but not appropriate for inclusion in the main lessons. The following structure provides a consistent way for instructors to both prepare for a workshop and quickly find necessary information during a workshop.
Please remember not to overload on details, and to keep the comments here positive!
Lesson motivation and learning objectives
These concepts should be highlighted in the main lesson material, but ideas for explaining these concepts further can be placed here.
Lesson design
Most lessons contain more material than can be taught in a single workshop. Describe a general narrative (with time estimates) for teaching either a half day or full day with this lesson material. You may also choose to include multiple options for lesson design, or what material can be skipped while teaching. This section may also include recommendations for how this lesson fits into the overall workshop.
Technical tips and tricks
Provide information on setting up your environment for learners to view your live coding (increasing text size, changing text color, etc), as well as general recommendations for working with coding tools to best suit the learning environment.
Common problems
This can include answers to common learner questions, as well as links to resources (blog posts, stack overflow answers, etc) that may solve problems that may occur during a workshop.
