3 min read

Session 1 of 4 in the Solo with Supervision (Fundamentals). Read this before the class, then do the quiz and reflection after it.

The first time you run a full class alone feels different from co-leading, even though you've been running segments for 12 sessions. The difference is psychological: there's nobody to hand off to if things get rough. The room is yours for the full hour.

For the Observing Coach

  • Take detailed notes. You're watching with undivided attention for the first time. Note timestamps, game choices, teaching points, language, pacing, adaptations, and anything you'd have done differently.
  • Don't give live signals. No head nods, no mouthing words, no pointed looks. The trainee needs to make decisions without reading your face.
  • Keep the debrief balanced. Start with what they did well. They just ran a full class for the first time and they're probably anxious about the feedback. Then give them the most important thing to work on. Not five things. One.

After the Session: Quiz and Reflection

Do this after you've run the class, not before.
