| Here are my rules (skills) when I teach or teach others to teach. The ten class management skills:
1. Set mood and tone of class - you are in charge the students will fallow your lead.
2. Create positive climate - old school scream at the students does not work anymore. People shut down, people quit.
3. Personal approach/individual contact - make the student feel as if you are talking directly to him/her, even a controled pat on the back is motivation.
4. Set direct goals - In this class this is what we want to achieve
5. Give thoughtfull feedback to student responce - keyword "thoughtfull" (empathy)
6. Reinforce positive behavior - Positive reinforcement
7. Give realistic praise - Both kids and adults see thru false praise, but that's not enough. Praise must be specific for educational bennefits (ex. Your foot position is good!)
8. Give positive correction rather than criticism - (I think your chamber position is great, if you pivit your foot a bit more you will get more power.)
9. Refer to students by name - Very personal, shows interest in that person.
10. Teach concept of personal victory - "Who conquers the is great but who conquers oneself is mighty" and "Never mind what others do; do better than yourself. Beat your own record from day to day and you are a success. Have someone fallow you around with a checklist and check off evey skill once you practice it. In a 45-60 minute class you should have 5 checks in every skill.

Very nice Adam. How many students do you have and how long have you been teaching?

I was teaching for Grand Master Jack Pierce. I just opened a club in Febuary. 45 students at this point, we'll have our 2nd testing in 3 weeks.

I was teaching for Grand Master Jack Pierce. I just opened a club in Febuary. 45 students at this point, we'll have our 2nd testing in 3 weeks.Good luck on the school. Must be exciting..but I'm sure it's hard to maintain and pay the bills at the same time. Welcome to MartialWeb.com Adam!
