Fwd: Code school curriculum review

[Dietrich Ayala]

Re-posting here at Sheppy's advice.

I've got a couple of code schools who are already excited to have our
feedback on their materials, so ping me if you're interested in doing
a review!

Cheers,

Dietrich

Hello MDN!

Code schools are growing explosively in the US and internationally -
that's where the next generation of web developers will come from.

I'm working with a bunch of code schools to guide their curriculum and
to bring Mozilla speakers in front of their students.

A common thread across all schools so far is that they LOVE MDN and
use it constantly. You're getting lovely compliments from all around
:)

Some of the schools I'm talking to are interested in having us review
their curriculum and materials, offering suggestions, changes,
improvements, etc.

This is a *huge* opportunity for us to impact the code that the next
generation of web developers will write.

However, this requires your help! The work is fairly lightweight -
they're interested in whatever level of review we can provide.

If you're interested in doing some curriculum reviews for code
schools, please reply to me directly.

Or if you think I should post requests for reviews to this list, let
me know that as well.

There are a huge number of schools on my list (>200) and so far
they're all excited to work with Mozilla. Having your expertise guide
and inform their curriculum is a huge win for our shared mission, so I
hope we can find a way to work together!

Thanks,

Dietrich

Nice initiative, Dietrich.

I don’t have a huge amount of free time, but I’m desperate to help out here. Could I put my name down for one review to get the ball rolling? It would allow me to help write review guidelines, and also see the kinds of things schools are teaching students, to give them advice and help shape my own learning material.
