I'm Wes. I will be your Lead Instructor for your class, g92.

Your Lead Instructor’s role is to teach, organize curriculum, support students, and maintain the level of rigor we value here at Galvanize.

I have taught and/or led the following cohorts in the
2.5 years I’ve been here: g11, g19, g30, g43, g48, g67, g82, and now you!

• If you could pick up a skill in an instant, what would it be?

• What were you doing before you started Galvanize?

• What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

• What is your favorite city/state/place that you have lived in?

• What was the last book/movie/tv show/song that had an
  impact on you?

• What motivated you to come to Galvanize?

1. Brainstorm any other priorities that you think are important.

2. For each priority, create:

   • A definition

   • An example of the priority being applied

3. As a class, organize a short presentation about each priority, with its definition and example.

You'll do this on your own!
You can let me know when you're ready.
