Simplify How This Works#1415
Conversation
Previously this was a three-module course which confused trainees because a lot of the content is targeted at volunteers. This simplifies it. It focuses on how to use the curriculum, and cuts out many of the volunteer-targeted or class-organisation-targeted pieces. Our experience is that writing these things down for volunteers doesn't make them do them in class - we are trying instead to have that influence by showing up in person and working with them. This Self Education module (the same as before, with an added Rhythm of the Week block) focuses on how trainees should be engaging with the curriculum and class - let's start here, and add things when they seem useful / to fill gaps. The old blocks still exist, and can be easily revived, but this stops them rendering in the course for now.

LGTM - give it a whirl and see how it goes.
In the prep it directs people to go to the backlog before they read the overview block. Not sure if this is a problem but I flag it anyway.

Looks really good. Simple and to the point.
Good shout - I've added the backlog block! |
