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.

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.

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.

Lesson Plan Updates
@jenwill and @pbarthmaier are still woking on Enqueuing Scripts and Styles.
@donkiely is almost done with Child Themes (twenty sixteen) but it’s mostly ready for critique. He wants to go through it a few more times and explain some things more clearly. He thanks @melindahelt, saying she was helpful in most of the heavy lifting.
He’s using Twenty Sixteen because that’s what the current plan is using but will make it easy to update to Twenty Seventeen. It was in Twenty Sixteen because that was the latest theme when @melindahelt did the first version.
The lost images issue has not yet been resolved.
@donkiely will clean up the shortcake and HTML tags in the Style Guide since the page doesn’t show the tags, just their effect.
Copyediting Updates
None given.
Testing Updates
@coachwp doing 2 (plugins and the editor) next week.
Q&A and Announcements
None given.
