In July we asked you about your level of Git mastery, what you want out of a teacher-training program, and where your students struggle with Git and GitHub.
Here are the results of our first annual GitHub Education Classroom Report.

“Examples of basic workflows for different types of projects - working alone, working in a small group, contributing to a major project as one of many, managing a project with many contributors. What do each of those look like day to day, building up from the simple to the complex.”
“Provide training for teachers in how to effectively use GitHub in the classroom. Also, provide clear instruction sheets that can be given to students to explain how to use the various aspects of GitHub.”
“Have a structured way to move through the material (i.e. a curriculum rather than just a series of help pages) that both teachers and students can refer to.”
