This document is a comprehensive self‑assessment and reflection tool for barre3 instructors. It begins with open‑ended check‑in questions prompting instructors to consider how they feel about their class and role, what they enjoy, and where they want to grow. The core of the guide consists of two parallel rubrics—one for instructors certified less than one year and another for those certified one year or more—each using a four‑point rating scale (‑, ✓, +, ++). For each rubric, instructors evaluate themselves across six key performance domains: Body Cues, Body Energy, Client Connection, Cueing Mantra, Messaging, Musicality, Pacing & Reps, Transitions, and Vocal Tone. Detailed checklists provide concrete observable criteria (e.g., articulating dominant burn, using sensation‑based cues, maintaining beat, employing inclusive language, delivering confident vocal tone). After the assessment, a “Next Steps” section guides instructors to identify one strength and one growth area, devise actionable actions for the next two weeks, and set a check‑in date with a mentor or accountability partner. The guide is framed as a developmental, non‑graded tool aimed at continuous improvement and alignment with barre3’s mission of balanced bodies and inner empowerment.
