How every week works
Learn it. Apply it. Prove it.
Each week moves you from understanding to evidence. You study focused lessons, put them to work in a guided activity, and submit the result for review with written feedback. The Saturday clinic is where you bring questions and clear blockers, so every week ends with proof of progress, not just notes.
