Blog Post 3 -New Private Pilot?

I recieved my first new private student, and after we introduce ourselves some of the items i would cover would be:
  -going over the operating procedures for westminster such as showing up on time to a lesson, meaning greater than 30min early
  -dressing properly for each lesson regarding weather and season
  - knowing before-hand whats to come before each lesson
  -being prepared and studying/memorizing all available infromation for the next lesson such as speeds, maneuvering procedures, ground knowledge, required reading, etc.
  -contact me 24hrs in advance of a cancellation
  -knowing your flight schedule in regards to no-showing
  -reading the pilot reads, emails, and FIF's
  -I would also involve, when the student would like to be completed by so we can have the same goal. 

Blog Post 2 -a new flight instructor??

Before i did ground or flight instruction with this new student, i'd first look in his/her folder and see recent flight(s) they conducted. Lessons that weren't passed and needed to be redone or touched-up could be seen. also from the ground knowledge standpoint, i'd see recent time they met and what they went over. Once i met with the student and got to meet them, i'd go into detail about previous knowledge. I'd be asking them questions they should have learned in the past and focus and go into more depth about areas they were weak on. Another method would be to ask their last instructor and get an idea on what the student was struggling with or needed help on. I could get good insight by doing this so its an easy transition. I could also ask the instructor stuff they havent gone over yet and material that needs still to be presented. With all this infromation, i can get a good understanding about the student and what's to come.
