3. New Registration Forms/Paperwork

4. Peer Evaluations • Please don’t leave them blank. There are numerous blank peer evals on the website. Some issues have been brought up in phone or in-person conversations, but it may be so long after the fact. I’m may not remember or know all details which can impact how the issue gets addressed. • We are getting good feedback on the ones that have been done for the most part. • Please don’t text, email, talk on the phone if you are supposed to be teaching/helping teach. • Please keep to the time hacks. Lots of people still talking about instructors getting on soap boxes and they just can’t get off of them.

5. Tier Evaluations • Please keep track of your Tier Map and send me emails when you are up for review. • I’ll do my best to pair you up with whomever is required to evaluate you.

6. Instructor Selection Criteria • The following criteria are used when selecting one of the many available adjunct instructors to teach a class. Following these criteria ensures teaching opportunities are spread across the instructor cadre as evenly a possible, knowing that some instructors are more available or are capable of teaching a wider variety of courses offered by ALERRT than others. • Instructor applied for class • Instructor is needed to conduct a Tier Review for another instructor who applied for this class • Instructor has applied for a Tier Review to be conducted on him/her for this class • Instructor has the seniority/leadership needed to manage the class and/ other instructors assigned to the class or to establish a working relationship with local POC for future training. • Instructor has not applied for/received as many classes regularly and needs to stay current on material and delivery • Instructor is uniquely qualified to teach this class • Instructor has expressed interest in expanding their opportunities to teach other courses in addition to what they usually teach, so they are applying for this one. • Exigent circumstances: Class had a quick turnaround time or previously selected instructor had to cancel at the last minute. This instructor was one of the quickest to apply when timing was very sensitive.

7. Invoicing • Still using the same rate charts: Out-of-State In-State 50-Mile Radius of Residence • Still sending signed invoice to Emily via email or fax.

If no stairs are in the building, stair video can be played during power-point (AS v B/H) to demonstrate stairs. There should be a bank of time in case more time is needed depending on pace of class/students.

11. New Flow to Level 1 Class • Beginning of TE, emphasize solo response aspect of techniques shown. • Threshold Evaluation will cover topics traditionally covered in WM when each topic occurs, such as: - 6’ reactionary gap - Contact/Cover - Priority of Fire - Follow-thru/Scan/Breathe (after “shots fired” in the Direct-to-Threat demo)

12. New Flow to Level 1 Class • Team Movement Techniques - covering Solo Officer Response - Will cover “turn to the outside” during threat rear or other directional change situations. • On any break-outs, Lead instructor will float around and keep time. Allows Lead to see all instructors.

13. New Flow to Level 1 Class • Setting Up For Room Entry - start off with Solo Response - 2 officers: explain the difference between what was shown in TE (intel on specific room) and the other option we’ll show them now (two travelling across the door together, confused students). Show “Israeli Lean” coming back out into the hallway.

14. New Flow to Level 1 Class • Setting Up For Room Entry (cont’d) - 3 officers: 2 go in, 1 holds hallway - 4 officers: closed door, set up, open, pause, 3 go in, 1 holds hallway - 5 officers: closed door, set up, open, pause, 3 go in, 2 hold hallway
