All Instructor Led Lessons

We've transformed our industry-recognized Skill Badges into ready-to-teach lesson decks designed specifically for the classroom. Each deck covers a focused MongoDB topic and provides instructors with everything they need to deliver a polished, comprehensive lesson. Whether you're building a full course on MongoDB from the ground up, supplementing an existing curriculum with targeted lessons, or delivering a single guest lecture, these decks give you the flexibility to mix, match, and adapt the material to fit your teaching goals. Use one deck as a standalone lecture, combine several to form a unit or module, or sequence them all together to create a complete MongoDB course. And because each deck maps directly to an official MongoDB Skill Badge, your students have a clear path to earning a recognized credential: every deck concludes with a link to the corresponding Skill Check, allowing students to validate their knowledge and earn their badge immediately after the lesson.

Format

Each lesson is delivered as a Google Slides deck designed to fill approximately one hour of instruction. Every slide includes detailed speaker notes with a full talk track, giving instructors a comprehensive guide to the key concepts, context, and talking points for each topic—so you can teach confidently, even on subjects that are new to you. The decks are fully editable, making it easy to customize slides, reorder content, or incorporate material into your own presentations to best serve the needs of your students and your course.
