7. 42 responses What people said about resources
8. We aren't creating scalable training material and we should.
10. The fights we don't have
11. Start an argument about sysadmin education, today! How we train, how we teach.
12. Training that works
13. ✔ Numbered steps with measurable, defined outcomes ✔ Explicit instruction and feedback loops ✔ Expectation for collaboration ✔ Pairing and modeling
14. Student: ✔ Knew what to do ✔ Knew what success looked like Boss: ✔ Asked the right questions ✔ Helped when stuck ✔ Feedback loops caught new details
15. What do we get from systematic training? A Baseline.
16. Knowledge ✔ Typing ✔ Text editing ✔ English grammar ✔ Variables ✔ Data structures ✔ Loops and flow control
17. Skills ✔ Write a program ✔ Debug others code ✔ Read and understand more advanced code
18. Baselining ✔ Identify key knowledge ✔ Teach to fill in gaps ✔ Demonstrate learned skills to peers and mentors
19. I covered it, it's up to them to learn Vs If they didn't learn it, I didn't teach it.
20. Grassroots training is headed in this direction: http://linux-training.be http://opsschool.org
21. What can you steal from these programs for your company? What from your company can you contribute back?
22. We need to shift our thinking about education and training.
25. Recognize the difference between Good and Bad teaching
27. Make great, reusable lessons by focusing on: knowledge and skills, then habits and competency
28. Good teaching + System = Authentic, Scalable teaching Teachers/sysadmins collaborate
29. First step: Argue about the details, the right way.
30. Arguments we should have: ✔ What's more important: ethics or risk reduction coursework? ✔ Are masters programs or K12 standards more valuable? ✔ How do we create a non-profit for trusted certifications?
31. Arguments not worth having: ✔ Education sucks. ✔ Students can't learn. ✔ The whole system is broken. ✔ You can't teach this stuff.
32. What can you do now? Ask: ✔ Is my training process written down? ✔ Can the person being trained incrementally improve that process? ✔ Are there clear outcomes and expectations from the training?
