Teaching what you know starts with identifying what you know well enough to answer questions you have not prepared for — not theoretical knowledge you memorised, but practical knowledge from real experience. Name your topic and state in two sentences why you are a credible source on it. Identify at least 3 people who would genuinely benefit from learning it and who choose to attend voluntarily. Run a first session of at least 20 minutes — in person, online, or recorded. Ask for at least two specific pieces of feedback immediately after: what made sense and what did not. The feedback is evidence that teaching happened and something did not land.
Proof required
Share: (1) your topic and a two-sentence statement of your credibility on it, (2) who attended (names or initials and their relationship to you), (3) the session duration, and (4) at least two pieces of specific feedback received immediately after.
What gets checked
- The topic is specific enough to teach in 20–30 minutes — 'programming' is not a topic for a single session; 'how to use Python list comprehensions to replace for-loops' is a topic with scope that fits one session
- At least 3 people attended who chose to be there voluntarily — a session where all attendees were required to attend (by job obligation, class assignment, or social obligation) is not voluntary participation; the GOVERNANCE standard requires that people came because they wanted to learn
- At least two feedback items are specific — 'it was helpful' is not feedback; 'I didn't follow the step where you set up the environment — you moved too fast' is feedback that can be acted on in M2
