The WordPress training team creates downloadable lesson plans and related materials for instructors to use in live workshop environments. If you enjoy teaching people how to use and build stuff for WordPress, immediately stop what you’re doing and join our team!
Regardless of your skill set, you can help! We need people to write, copyedit, test, audit, connect, and review our lesson plans. Found out how to get started.

Q&A and Announcements
@bethsoderberg took the temperature on a video chat for 6/27 and a larger virtual summit later in the summer.
melindahelt recommended having two video calls so that folks who are not as “Americas” based time zone might be able to have exposure to the team and then contribute async going forward. She will look into how Community has done it.
melindahelt also noted she is not pinged whenever P2 gets updated unless she’s mentioned in it. A settings change was made and this meeting recap will be a test by not using the @ with melindahelt’s name. Another test is a new email entered by @bethsoderberg.
@bethsoderberg will be looking into it, as well as the images lost from the LPs with the theme switchover.
@bethsoderberg may miss this meeting next week. @juliekuehl will lead it.
@mike_piercy asked about access to theme files, widget and Menu sections in the handbook. @bethsoderberg is bumping up his permissions.

Lesson Plan Updates
@jenwill has continued working on enqueuing scripts and styles. my rough draft is maybe halfway through and it’s already really long. Requests feedback. (https://make.wordpress.org/training/?post_type=handbook&p=8646&preview=true)
Suggestions were made regarding adding WP-CLI to lesson plan, probably as multiple plans. @pbarthmaier asked if it should be part of a previously-suggested developer track.
Copyediting Updates
@mike_piercy: I wasn’t here last week but have made it through roughly half of the grammar edits while checking the inconsistencies in the nav links.
Testing Updates
@melindahelt is planning to use training materials for a full-day workshop at WCKent.
Q&A and Announcements
@bethsoderberg
1. I have heard from a few folks who are interested in helping me lead meetings, take notes, keep everything organized and on track, etc. I want to leave the conversation about that open for another week or two to make sure folks have the ability to pipe up if they’d like to. Please DM me if you’d like.
2. Proposal a mini summit since none of us will be at WCEU Community Summit. We can talk about it again next week.
New member @myselfkhayer asked about how to contribute.

@chanthaboune will be stepping away from the team as she’s been asked to lead a second team at work. Very special thanks to @chanthaboune for the spirit, insights, support, and contributions to this team. We appreciate everything you’ve done and will miss you (but will see you soon!).
We will need a new backup for @bethsoderberg moving forward.
