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

Run one Little Lions class and one Golden Tigers class. The first time you run a full kids class alone feels different from co-leading. There's nobody to hand behavioral moments to, nobody to pick up the energy if your segment stalls, nobody to manage the parents while you manage the kids. The room is yours.

For the Observing Coach

  • Take detailed notes. You're watching with undivided attention. Note partner pairings, behavioral moments (and how they were handled), energy levels, pacing, language choices, and anything you'd have done differently.
  • Don't give live signals. No head nods, no mouthing words, no stepping toward a kid who's acting up. The trainee needs to handle it.
  • Be ready to debrief the behavioral stuff in depth. Kids classes generate more behavioral moments than adult classes. The trainee will have questions about whether they handled things correctly. Give honest, specific feedback.

After the Session: Quiz and Reflection

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