The Carpentries is a global community of volunteers who develop and teach interactive, hands-on workshops on computing and data skills, addressing basic training needs that are unmet in most disciplines.
Certified Instructors can co-teach Carpentries workshops at ASU, helping us reach more people and build these important skills across our community. In addition, Carpentries Instructors also have the opportunity to teach as part of a team at other institutions in The Carpentries network, meeting others with similar skills who enjoy sharing them. Hosting institutions cover travel and expenses for volunteer workshop Instructors teaching in person.
Service as a Carpentries Instructor is a voluntary activity. This service can support existing work responsibilities in a variety of roles. It also represents an opportunity for career development. Carpentries Instructors are sought after in a variety of academic and professional teaching roles. Participation as an Instructor builds skills and a track record in teaching while expanding your professional network.
The Carpentries Instructor Training is primarily focused on evidence-based teaching practices and does not include technical skills training. Trainees are expected to have or will develop the technical skills necessary to guide learners through the entry-level curricula for one or more Data Carpentry, Library Carpentry, or Software Carpentry workshops.
