Teacher Tip

I use check lists when preparing students for accreditation. I put two copies together with carbon paper in between. I give the originals to the students while I keep the copies in my file. When next we meet it helps me to remember what needs to be checked (refined). I use the check list each time we meet in order to be consistent with my corrections and to make sure I’ve checked everything before I recommend them. I don’t want either of us to be embarrassed by a poor or inconsistent performance when getting reviewed by Steve.

In preparing the check sheet, I listed the movements down the side of the sheet and next to the movements were columns with headings: Enter – Hands – Feet – Exit – Other so each movement is checked in four areas. At the bottom of the sheet I left space for further comments.
