Meeting Minutes - January 31, 2017
Meetings need to be more pertinent to the issues being discussed.
Information needs to be discussed as it comes up. We need to start having meetings before or after classes OR have 100% online reliability, within the necessary timeframe. Share all information, pertinent or not (online).
Been receiving positive feedback regarding the demo and program as a whole. Need to document ideas for improvement. Need to make better use of the microphone- some frustration over the speeches was expressed.
Intent to Promote letters need to come directly to Sifu Rybak from the student.
No more games- activities need to be fun drills (BD's). TT's- games and drills kung fu related.
Stripe mentors are being abolished. Its creating the illusion that stripes only come from the stripe mentor. Everything must be documented and kept accurate in FrontDesk, including date of stripes and date of last stripe. WE will be generating report before meetings to discuss any issues.
Passports need to be used. If you have suggestions to make them better let Sifu Brinker know. They're meant to be chart by exception. If commenting in them, be sure to write the date and initial them so we know who to talk to if we need to. We need to make the kids advocates for their own success, not their mentors.
Kids seem to not be completing their assigned tasks, going on 3-4 months without the parents signatures. If this is the case we need to bring it to the parents attention.
Every 1/4; Sifu Brinker PTA meeting.
NEVER stipe a kid without checking the passports. Have the kids decide which stripe they want to focus on- helps them be their own advocates. Having them define specific goals will go a long way toward this.
We need to be discussing the passports, the kids and the classes before and after the classes until all of us are firing on all cylinders with them.
Class rotation is wiped out- up to the instructor to plan accordingly & to accurately document each and every class. A spreadsheet has been created for this.
Emily Bouey- no longer a student until further notice.
If students are complaining about pain or an injury, ask them what they did to hurt themselves and document everything. If the injury persists through several classes bring it to the attention of the parents. Documentation is an absolute must.
