### Carpentries Jargon Review
155
-
156
-
As our community has evolved and its work has emerged, a vocabulary has built up around it. Many of the words we use have common meanings that are
157
-
interchangeable elsewhere, but have come to mean very specific things in our community.

### Links to definitions
177
-
These terms are defined in our [Community Glossary](https://docs.carpentries.org/resources/general/glossary.html).
Briefly, there are two types of Carpentries workshops: **centrally-organised** and
193
-
**self-organised**. You can read (and hopefully have already read) about these on our [website][workshops-page].
194
-
195
-
Centrally organised workshops are included in institutional [membership][membership-page] packages and can also be requested separately for a fee. Since The Carpentries
196
-
will recruit Instructors to teach, this is a great way to host workshops before your local Instructor team feels fully prepared to run a complete workshop
197
-
independently, or to host workshops beyond the areas of expertise you may have locally.
198
-
199
-
If you have enough local Instructors available to organise your own workshop, you can run a self-organised workshop at any time at no cost. If you need support with AWS instances for a Genomics
200
-
workshop, there may be an associated fee. You can learn more about Genomic workshops in the [Genomics Workshops Terms of Agreement](https://docs.carpentries.org/resources/workshops/genomics_policy.html).
201
-
If you would like to recruit additional Instructors or helpers, [this blog post][SO-recruiting-blog] has guidelines for using Carpentries communications channels. Registering
202
-
your workshop with us allows you to use The Carpentries branding, includes our pre- and post- workshop surveys and results for your workshop, and ensures
203
-
that all Instructors and helpers in our database have the experience recorded in their profile. Registering your workshop also helps us: reporting
204
-
on our global impact is vital to our future funding opportunities, allowing us to continue to provide and develop materials and opportunities for you.
205
-
206
-
Once you have selected your workshop type, consult [**The Carpentries Handbook**][docs] for more resources to support your organising effort.
207
-
The Carpentries Handbook is the definitive source for policies and information, including tips, checklists, and points of contact for nearly all
208
-
Carpentries-related activities. A few examples of useful content include:
209
-
210
-
-[template emails and checklists][docs-teach-host] for hosts, Instructors, and helpers
211
-
- the [instructor no-show policy][docs-noshow] which is important to read before signing up for your first workshop
212
-
213
-
As The Carpentries grows and changes in response to a complex global legal landscape, our policies and procedures are likely to change. Be sure to check
214
-
back for policy changes, and keep in touch on our [communications channels][connect-page] to stay abreast of the latest updates!

## Teaching Opportunities: Local and Global
219
-
220
-
Many Instructors aim to teach within a local community and do not want to travel. In that case,
221
-
you will coordinate with your community to gain access to teaching opportunities through locally organised workshops.
222
-
223
-
If you want to be presented with opportunities to teach outside your community -- locally or far from home, be sure to join our [Instructors
224
-
mailing list][instructors-list]. This is how we recruit Instructors to teach in centrally-organised workshops around the world.
225
-
226
-
The Carpentries can not guarantee
227
-
that all Instructors who respond to recruitment calls will be selected, and depending on your area these opportunities may be scarce.
228
-
If you want to get started right away, consider organizing
229
-
your own workshop or even teaching a single lesson with a few friends. If your friends have not been through Instructor Training,
230
-
you will need to set aside some time to help them understand how best to support your efforts.
With a partner, take turns asking and answering the question: "I want to organise a workshop! What will I need to do?" One partner should ask about a
239
-
self-organised workshop, and the other can ask about a centrally-organised workshop. If you have a third person, they can help out with follow-up questions
240
-
or answers as needed.
241
-
242
-
When you encounter new questions during this process, be sure to write them in the Etherpad.
