  1. Shadowing: Is where a student can get through a form with help, not just following along.   We need to adjust our expectations here.

  2. Expectations:  Our actions need to match our words

    1. Set them, communicate them, enforce them.

3.  Management:  We are not just teaching, we are managing - manage students, manage assets, manage class.

4.  Animal Badges:  Can be used to help keep kids motivated while they are earning their stripes.

1.  Talk to parents - these teach hard work

2.  We need to promote these more

3.  How do we communicate the value?

5.  Drills:  Make a list of drills that will NOT be done unless they are run by a program director.

1. These are drills that we go to once in a while, when our creativity starts to wane.

2. We cannot keep going to the same drills, as they lose their efficacy

6.  Finishing Classes on Time: it’s imperative that we end classes on time

1.  When we end classes has an effect on when the next class can start, and the upcoming class MUST start on time as we cannot have students waiting and wondering what is going on.

7.  Audit the Members Only section:  Make sure that members only have access to what they should

1.  We need to make sure that students are only seeing the information that pertains to them.

8.  Student Ratings:  A, B, or C

1.  Program directors will have these up to date by the end of the month each month so that the data is in almost real time.

2.  Instructors are encouraged to share their thoughts on ratings, as they may see things that the Program Directors may miss.  However, the Program Director has the final decision.
