Student Checklist Report SCL

I have added an SCL report form for students or teachers to fill in so we can track student progress more closely. Please see the link on the Teachers Links at the bottom of the B Links.

Some years ago after reading a book on the success of Checklists I decided to trial them within G4GUITAR. They were an absolute winner for many reasons. Firstly I did not need to keep notes on students. The SCL did that for me. I didn't need to create lesson plans. Students and their parents were able to monitor their own progress and the goal was clearly laid out. But the best result of all was almost 100% success. The SCL single handedly eliminated any confusion students or parents may have had about the G4GUITAR METHOD.

But there is one VERY IMPORTANT element to the SCL. Someone must be monitoring them. Unforntunately we still have a high drop out rate and the reason is students lose focus. I know from experience this is because they are not understanding how the SCL works. By reporting we will be able to track their progress at regular intervals and determine if they are firstly understanding and secondly progressing.

We will be asking students to fill in the form SCL REPORT online but if they don't we will then ask teachers to do so. Students will receive a regular email so please encourage (educate) them to fill in the form so you don't have to. This is also a vital step in working towards our vision of ONLINE LEARNING. Our ticket to freedom.

Thank you..
