Karate Instructors: Six Easy Steps to Schedule Your Classes
Creating an effective class schedule is a crucial component of running a successful martial arts school. A well-thought-out schedule can cater to the needs of your students and align with your curriculum, providing significant benefits despite the initial effort involved. If you've struggled with designing an efficient schedule, this guide is for you.
Six Steps to Schedule Your Classes:
1. Organize Your Classes
- Determine how you will structure your classes. Will it be based on program type, age, rank, or a combination? Many schools offer a variety of programs like Little Dragons, Teen & Adult classes, and more advanced options like Leadership or Instructor Training. The size and membership of your school will influence the type of schedule you need.
2. Determine Class Size
- Decide on the ideal number of students per class. For ages 4-6, aim for 10-15 students. Ages 7-12 can handle 15-20 students, while teenagers and adults can have up to 30 students in a class. If you're working solo or have limited space, stick to these numbers.
3. Set Class Duration
- Younger kids have shorter attention spans, so classes should last 30-45 minutes. Older children, teens, and adults typically need at least an hour to ensure a good workout.
4. Calculate Class Frequency
- How many students do you have, and how often do they attend class each week? For instance, if you have 100 students attending 1.5 times weekly, schedule as if you have 150 students attending once a week. To cater to 15 students per class, you'll need 10 classes.
5. Identify Available Timeslots
- When can you and your instructors teach? If you're running a professional school, base your schedule on when your members are available. If you're part-time at a community center with volunteer assistants, you may need more flexibility. Determine available times and fit classes accordingly.
6. Implement Attendance Tracking
- Choose a method to track attendance: membership cards and scanners, a name card system, or manual headcounts. Tracking attendance helps identify successful classes and those needing improvement.
