Solo Session 3: Proving Consistency
Session 3 of 4 in the Solo with Supervision (Kids). Read this before the class, then do the quiz and reflection after it.
By now you've soloed both programs. These sessions are about proving you can do this reliably: different kids, different energy levels, different behavioral challenges. Can you coach well when three kids are having a bad day and a new student walks in unannounced?
For the Observing Coach
- Look for consistency. Are they handling behavioral moments the same way every time, or does their enforcement vary with their mood? Are pairings deliberate every session, or are they getting lazy?
- Push them on self-assessment. By session 3-4, they should be identifying their own mistakes before you point them out.
- Make the final call. After session 4, you're deciding whether this person is ready to coach kids independently. This is a bigger decision than the fundamentals clearance because the stakes are different. Be honest. If they're not ready, be specific about what needs more work.
After the Session: Quiz and Reflection
Do this after you've run the class, not before.
