Class Assignments – Understanding the CLC Roster

CLC Roster

The CLC uses a roster with Google Sheets.  When the student checks into the CLC, they are asked specific questions to determine their ability level and make sure it matches the ability level they selected.  Once their ability is determined they are either sent to the class they had signed up for or are moved to another class that better suits their ability level.

The Roster is how you will determine what students you will be teaching for the lesson.  If you look at the image of a roster below you will see how you will find your students. (We will cover this in your in-person training, so no need to worry if it is confusing at first)

1. Ability Level –

   1. You will see there are column headings with 1st Time, Novice, Green, etc.
   2. Notice the colors of the Column Headers coincide with the colors of the ability level, so if you are assigned to a Novice lesson with 4-6 year old’s you will be looking for students wearing orange Kinderlift Vests.

2. Instructor Name – 

   1. You will look for your name located in the lower section of the ability level columns if you are assigned to a lesson.
   2. Your name will be highlighted in a color (which may not coincide with the color of the ability level but usually does) and will be the same color as the Children that you are assigned to for that lesson.
   3. If you are not assigned to a lesson yet, your name will be in the Scheduled Section of the Roster. This means you are not currently assigned but are one of the backups and you must show up to line up.

3. Children’s Names – 

   1. You will find the children assigned to you by looking for the names of the children that match the color your name is highlighted and are in the same column.
   2. The ratio for 4-6 year old kids is 3:1 kids to instructor. If you are making switches in the middle of a lesson do not go over this ratio or give 4-6 year old’s to a 7-14 year old class.
   3. The ratio for 7-14 year old kids is 7:1 students per instructor. Sometimes classes are larger than 7 kids and will go out with 2 instructors and are expected to split up on hill.
   4. For example, Instructor Reed’s name is highlighted in Fuschia, the students in his class are Torsten, Eli, and Dylan as their names are highlighted in Fuschia.
   5. Things do change during lineup, sometimes kids are signed up for the wrong ability level and switch. If a kid comes up with your name written on their nametag than that student has switched into your class and is now part of your group.
   6. As your students show up make sure to fill out the class card with their names, helmet color, jacket color, pants color and allergies. When you are finished submit the form.

4. AM, PM, or FD

   1. You will know if the student is a Full Day student (includes lunch) or just a Half Day lesson (leaves directly after either the AM or PM lesson).
   2. You may have a mixture of AM and FD students in the morning lesson and then receive some PM lesson students after lunch that will join the class.  Please make sure to check the roster or in with a supervisor before leaving the meeting area in the afternoon.
   3. You are expected to eat lunch with your students. If you need dietary accommodations or a bread let the Supervisor or leads know before leaving for the morning and we will work with you.

5. Allergies/Special Needs

   1. A student may have an allergy or special need listed next to their name on the roster or their nametag.
   2. It is important to note it on your class roster for your knowledge and to double check before lunch.
   3. Make sure to ask a supervisor or lead if you have questions about the special need or allergy.  For example: if the message is hearing impaired, you can ask if the student uses any special equipment that you need to know of or if you need to change how you teach in any way.
