STAFF DEVELOPMENT Mining for Instructors: Planting the Seed, Part 3 by Grandmaster Zulfi Ahmed Make Teaching a Part of Your Brown Belt Curriculum Many schools already require black belt candidates to start teaching to fulfill requirements towards their black belt-earning process. The required amount of assisted teaching hours can vary widely from 20 hours to over 200 hours. I recommend that you start the teaching requirement process as early as a brown belt and not wait until they begin the testing cycle. The earlier you begin their indoctrination into instructorship and other leadership roles, the earlier you’ll see the benefits come to fruition as they begin forming better teaching habits. Encourage Leadership Development As Early As White Belt Encourage leadership development as early as white belt? Of course encourage leadership development as early as white belt! After all, most students come to us seeking confidence and self-esteem development, so why not start the process of giving them responsibility and earning recognition as early as white belt? Start by giving them simple, fun responsibilities such as organizing the pads or bags, helping with simple classroom management, taking roll, calling class to assemble in formation, or assist with stripe awards. Once they reach the intermediate level, begin giving them larger and more important responsibilities. They can even lead warm-ups, count out loud a certain skillset, or assist younger, more junior students under the supervision of an adult instructor. There’s always someone out there on your floor who can one day become an outstanding instructor. Have a Robust Instructor Training Program Simply implementing all of the above ideas without actually having a well-developed instructor development and training program that clearly outlines the process, guidelines, and requirements from white belt to instructor will only keep students engaged for so long. If you truly want to grow an instructor base and have a good number of students benefit from your education, it’s imperative that you have a robust and systematic instructor, and even a master instructor training program accessible and available to all your qualified instructor candidates. To achieve this, you need to clearly define the process and curriculum for your school and get it organized in a manner that allows you to start teaching and implementing it in your school. A Clearly Defined Process For Your Students When your students can actually observe other students participating and benefiting from your instructor training program, they, too, will want to become a part of this exciting process. But they must first see the teaching and training in action for themselves. The culture of instructors differs from that of the student body in that there are many privileges and various aspects to instructorship that differ from normal student life, such as invitations to special events, discounts, beautifully adorned certificates of achievement, and many other tangible and intangible benefits that come with being an instructor. But, most of all, the status, respect, and skill level of the martial artist must be visible by everyone. Every student is a potential future instructor. GRANDMASTER ZULFI AHMED has amassed acclaim as a world-class competitor, martial arts educator, and is most notably founder and designer of the internationally renowned style, Bushi Ban. With over 45 years of martial arts experience and over 300 martial arts awards, his schools include ten locations across Texas. 102 MARTIAL ARTS WORLD NEWS VOLUME 22 | ISSUE 1 Photograph by JackF
