What is the Gokhale Method franchisee required to do with the videos submitted by other trainees?
Gokhale_Method Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
As part of teaching your practice students, you must prepare at least six videos in which you record yourself teaching each one of the six separate Gokhale Foundations lessons accompanied by self-critiques of each lesson. These recordings will be reviewed by your peers, and you will be required to view recordings submitted by other trainees and to evaluate them. Once reviewed, each lesson will be submitted for approval. If a lesson video is not approved, you will be required to submit another video of the same lesson. A video of each of the six lessons must be approved before you can become qualified to teach.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, as part of the training to become a franchisee, you are required to view recordings submitted by other trainees and evaluate them. This is part of the Initial Training process, which also includes an Immersion Week, teacher webinars, self-study, and teaching practice students.
The purpose of this peer review is to ensure that all franchisees meet the Gokhale Method's standards before they are qualified to teach. This collaborative evaluation is a component of the overall training program, which aims to standardize the quality of instruction across all Gokhale Method franchises.
If a franchisee does not complete all of the Initial Training requirements, including the video submissions and peer reviews, within six months of attending the Immersion Week, Gokhale Method may terminate the Franchise Agreement after providing 30 days' notice and an opportunity to correct the deficiencies.
