Meeting Minutes - July 3, 2018

- Mr Olsen, Mr. Kover, Mr. Ewart grading on Saturday
- Olsen and Ewart recent stripes were not put in Zen Planner.
- None of these three are actually registered in Zen Planner to grade.
- We need to get on top of entering stripes into the system. Have a buddy system. Always ask each other if they gave a stripe and if they entered it into Zen.
- Our deadline is July 12 9:00am to fix all the database problems.
- Melanie is being added as an instructor in Zen Planner and Mighty Networks
- Taking a different approach in teaching black dragons. Having multiple instructors teach classes and keeping the energy up. Different approaches to the same general concepts.
- However, we need to make sure it all builds on one another, instead of being four individual segments.
- Take inspiration from the Spanish soccer team. The coach explains what they want from the players and dynamically corrects them when they are doing it wrong with out halting activity.
- Simply having them active is not enough, they need to be dynamically corrected. Correct them consistantly to achieve progress. Don't necessarily stop them all the time, this will kill momentum, but ensure they are working on proper technique.
- 80/20 rule. Forms are the most influential in your training. They work on several different aspects of your training. 20 percent of the total training that provides 80 percent the results.
- Find the 20 percent that works with the classes. (Forms)
- Encoding success, give the students steps to achieve the end goal. Give small amounts at a time to promote success and encourage further practice.

- We need to ensure student transitions from one class to another are more smooth. We need to support them more and make sure they are comfortable and still feel safe.
- Moving classes changes their entire perspective. They were just the top of their class and are now back on the bottom, this can be overwhelming.
