What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Gokhale Method's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor may request franchisees to submit audiotapes or videotapes of their teaching at reasonable intervals. These intervals and the specifics of the submission will be detailed in the current Teachers' Manual.

The Gokhale Method may then submit these recordings to peer review by other Gokhale Method teachers. By agreeing to the franchise agreement, the franchisee consents to this submission for peer review.

This process is part of the continuing training and approval required to maintain the franchisee's right to teach the Gokhale System. Failure to participate in such continuing training programs, including the submission of teaching recordings, may result in suspension of the franchisee's right to teach until the requirements are met and re-approval is granted.
