School Policies
Student
Review and Withdrawal
Trainees meet with the
Director to discuss their progress at the end of the first
semester each year, and at such other times as may be
requested by either the Director or the student.
If a student’s progress is
unsatisfactory, he/she may be asked to take additional private
lessons at his/her additional expense, or to extend the length
of the training. The Director retains the right to ask a
student to withdraw from the course if the student’s behavior
is disruptive to the learning experience of other class
members, or if the student continues to fail to meet course
requirements.
Absence
and Lateness
Students are expected to
arrive on time and ready for class. Lateness is recorded. When
a student’s tardiness has accumulated to a total of four
hours, this is counted as one absence.
Since learning to teach the
technique requires hands-on instruction and participation with
the other members of the class, absences are difficult to make
up. Students are granted four absences each semester, and up
to four additional absences per semester may be made up
through taking private lessons with the Director or a faculty
member. (The student is responsible for the cost of these
lessons at the teacher’s regular fee.) If there are additional
absences, however, these must be made up through attendance in
the training after the three-year course is completed, or by
attendance at another AmSAT-approved training course during
the summer or other regularly scheduled vacations. (The
Directors of both schools must approve this in advance. The
student is responsible for the payment of any additional fees
for this training.) Unused absences may not be carried over
into the following year.
Leave of
Absence
If a student must withdraw
from class for a period greater than two weeks, the student
will inform the director of this as much in advance as
possible. The director and the student will meet to develop a
plan for making up the missed classes to enable the trainee to
continue in the program.
