A Levels week is the next lesson in a class’s curriculum progression, not a date on the calendar. Holidays, cancellations, repetition, and recital preparation do not require you to mark unused lessons complete.
Check the correct class first
Open My Teaching in the Teaching Studio and choose the class you are preparing. Confirm its name, schedule, curriculum, most recent taught lesson, and next week. If two classes use the same curriculum, check them separately: they keep separate progress.
After a cancellation or partial lesson
Do not mark a canceled class taught. Return to the same lesson when the class meets again. If only part of a lesson was taught, decide whether its central purpose was completed. If the foundation still needs work, revisit it before advancing.
Save lesson is a preparation bookmark. Opening videos or saving a lesson does not mark it taught. Choose Mark as taught only after teaching the lesson’s central purpose, and check the Class selector before saving that progress update.
Repeat with a purpose
Repetition supports progression when it has a clear goal. Keep the lesson’s foundation and change the coaching focus, grouping, amount of repetition, or independence. Explain what you want dancers to notice or improve rather than treating the repeat as simply doing the same class again.
If you marked a lesson taught by mistake, return to that lesson, select the correct class, and use Taught · Reopen. If the next-week position still looks wrong, ask Levels for help rather than marking more lessons complete to compensate.
During recital preparation or a teacher change
Decide which curriculum lessons continue, which pause, and when the sequence resumes. Record what actually happened; do not skip progress forward just to match a calendar or performance date.
Before a new teacher or substitute takes over, pass on the class name, curriculum, last completed lesson, next lesson, class length, and the teaching focus that needs attention. Keep dancer-specific details in the studio’s approved records.
At the end of a season
Review where each class finished and what should happen next. Do not reset history or create duplicate classes just to tidy the screen. Ask the owner or administrator to confirm the next season’s class setup; contact Levels if you need help preserving history while changing curricula or classes.
Progress records show what a class has been taught. They are not proof that every dancer has mastered a skill or is ready to move levels.
