# Weekly Responsibilities During Incubation

### **Purpose**

Here, it explains your weekly responsibilities as a POD leader during the incubation period. Following these steps will help your POD meet Apni Pathshala’s quality standards and move successfully to the next stage.

### **What You Must Do Every Week**

#### **1. Share Weekly Class Update**

- You must submit **1 class update** every week.
- The update should answer **6 specific questions** given by the POD team.
- Purpose: To show what is being taught, how students are learning, and any challenges you face.

#### **2. Submit 2 Videos**

Every week, you must send:

1. **1 Student Learning Video** – Show a student learning or doing an activity.
2. **1 Content Guide Video** – Show the teaching process, such as explaining a topic or guiding a student.

**Tips:**

- Make sure videos are **clear** and the sound is **audible**.
- Try to feature **different students** each time, not the same child repeatedly.
- Keep the background neat.

#### **3. Respond to Follow-Up Calls**

- The incubation coordinator may call you for a **performance check-in** (usually once a week).
- This is only if needed — there won’t be unnecessary calls.
- Be ready to answer questions and share any updates or problems.

#### **4. Maintain Records**

- Keep your **POD details updated** in the Baby POD sheet.
- Store your weekly updates, videos, and reports in the **shared drive folder**.
- Organise files with clear names so they can be found easily.

#### **5. Follow Reminders**

- In your **first 3 weeks**, you may receive a **Friday reminder** to share updates and videos.
- Try to develop the habit so you don’t need reminders later.

#### **6. Report Issues Immediately**

- If you face **technical problems** (e.g., the computer is not working, the internet is down), tell your coordinator quickly.
- The goal is to fix it within **7 days,** so learning is not interrupted.

#### **7. Practice and Share Good Examples**

- If you see a method or activity that works well, share it with your coordinator.
- Your example may be used to inspire other POD leaders.

### **Why These Weekly Responsibilities Matter**

- Keeps your POD on track for promotion after incubation.
- Helps the AP team understand your progress and needs.
- Ensures students get consistent and quality learning experiences.
- Builds your skills as a leader who can manage tasks on time.

### **Your Weekly Checklist**

- 1 Class Update (6 questions) submitted
- 1 Student Learning Video submitted
- 1 Content Guide Video submitted
- Baby POD sheet updated
- Files organised in the shared drive
- Any issues reported within 24 hours
