Solo Session 3: Proving Consistency
Session 3 of 4 in the Solo with Supervision (Fundamentals). Read this before the class, then do the quiz and reflection after it.
By now, the novelty of soloing has worn off. These sessions are about proving you can do this reliably: different topics, different rooms, different energy levels. Can you coach well on a Tuesday when five regulars are out and two new people walk in?
For the Observing Coach
- Look for consistency, not perfection. Are they making the same quality of decisions across different classes, or do they have good days and bad days with no self-awareness about why?
- Push them on self-assessment. By session 3-4, they should be identifying their own mistakes before you point them out. If they can't, they need more reps.
- Make the final call. After session 4, you're deciding whether this person is ready to coach independently. Be honest. If they're not ready, be specific about what needs more work and extend the phase.
After the Session: Quiz and Reflection
Do this after you've run the class, not before.
