• (10:25 - 21:52) is a "pedagogy 101" - a quick primer to make any developer a better teacher
• (21:57 - 38:38) walks through a sample "LX" design process, with examples from Clojure Camp, particularly some of the best practices we're trying to apply

Talk description:

Being an expert in Clojure doesn’t make one an expert in teaching Clojure. Whether you are trying to onboard new Clojurians at work, mentoring a family member, or wrangling some “free-range learners”, understanding the basics of pedagogy can go a long way at making you a better teacher. In this talk, two of the founders of Clojure Camp will share how they’ve been applying lessons from cognitive psychology, instructional design, inclusivity, and community organization to create effective learning experiences and foster a new generation of Clojurians.
