TEACHING PRINCIPLES
| Unconditional Respect | Respect begets respect. |
| Keep the Kids Safe | Expect the unexpected. Anticipate and take action to prevent potential accidents before, during and after class. You are responsible for the well-being of your students from the time parents drop them off, till the time they are picked up. |
| Clearly Communicate Expectations | Don't make assumptions. Repeat everything as many times as needed. Verify students are not only hearing, but also listening and comprehending. |
| Catch Kids Doing Things Right | Everyone likes to be praised! |
| Discipline with Natural Consequences | Be firm and consistent. Make kids accountable for their actions. Never discipline a child out of anger. |
| Be Enthusiastic | Enthusiasm must be who you are! It's not a function of how you feel or the circumstances you face at any given time. Students who are enthusiastic have enthusiastic instructors. |
| Daily Challenges | Design challenges into our daily lesson plans. |
| Daily Successes | Design successes into our daily lesson plans. |
| Perpetual Motion | Kids like to keep moving. Parents like to see their kids active and moving. |
| Creativity, Variety & Fun | Most of all kids want to have fun! Fun is why they come to our gym. Design creativity and variety into our lesson plans and fun will be the bi-product. Use others as resources to get new and different ideas. |
| Love, Empathy & Compassion | Remember the student you are teaching is someone's precious daughter or son. |
