March Sprint :

  1. We still have the following lesson plans ready to be drafted: 

If anyone is interested, please let us know and we can assign you to a card.

@paaljoachim has setup a local dev environment with the help of @sarmstead and they are working on a workshop as well “Testing track tickets and Gutenberg issues”

  1. Making a layout for /lesson-plans
    @courane01 and @azhiyadev still need to meet to go through this, @paaljiochim offered help and he will work on a draft page for it.
  2. Invites for stakeholders
    #marketing team busy with and taking time due to COVID we’ve put this on hold. @azhiyadev proposed this to our April Sprint.

Imported Quizzes :

Some of our quizzes were not correctly imported from GitHub, need line breaks and a few questions are confusing. We propose doing an audit to clean this up.

If you are new and want to get involved in Training, this is a fairly easy thing to do.

@webtechpooja audited Quizzes on a few lesson plans and found some updates required, she will update the status on the Lesson plan using edit workflow.

Feedback Required:

Revisiting Learn WordPress Workshop Application Vetting Process 

@azhiyadev said – There are some good proposals there and I would encourage the team to read the post and comment

Open Discussions:

@courane01 said: I am so thankful for all the lesson plans on Learn. My own bootcamp is using these, and I know now of 2 other groups that may as well. Having these plans for instructors with quiz questions is super helpful.

 And @corane01 is planning to create some map sequence for lesson plan.

@azhiyadev can’t wait what @couane01 will come up with.

@courane01 said: If folks are interested in helping sequence this and have a suggested tool that would be collaborative, open-source, and features of curriculum mapping (Google that – it’s a thing in the education space) …. please let me know. Otherwise, I’ll likely run with Notion. so to create this version.

@courane01 said: I am also seeking informal info about how much PHP/JS that an entry level dev needs. What should training providers aim for, linked to MDN/PHP.net

@oglekler said: There are builders who just making sites like a constructor will little CSS, so, it’s an entry level.

@courane01 said: Right, our program teaches builder tools briefly. Our expected proficiency is a starter theme, simple plugin, simple block.  The training vids we use provide the PHP tags. But if someone has to build without a page builder, they may need a bit more than template tags and such.  An actual amount of PHP and MySQL is expected on job applications for jr devs, without clarification on how much training.
