HCD.7:5.1 - Twelve Participants and the 240-Hour Teacher Account

The FoundationsProgramme class design has twelve participants, thirty-two ordinary weeks, and two final weeks. An ordinary week allocates 1.5 teacher hours to group review, 3 hours to checking twelve short results, 1 hour to case and source preparation, and 1 hour to individual difficulties and assessment calibration: 6.5 hours. Each final week requires 16 hours, including individual reading, conversations, subgroup review, calibration, repeat checks, and a small delay or disagreement reserve.

The total is 32 × 6.5 + 2 × 16 = 240 teacher hours. Dividing by twelve gives a costing allocation of 20 hours per participant; it does not promise twenty individual-contact hours. The arrangement is enabled only if the two sixteen-hour peaks are reserved and ordinary feedback can arrive before the next two-week block.

With twenty-four participants, the original checking and conversation rows no longer fit. A single larger group meeting supplies no additional individual review. The supported return is to double the relevant checking capacity, divide the group with competent providers, reduce or redesign the promised contribution, or delay launch. HCD.7 does not call the larger class enabled merely because 240 total hours still appear in a budget.
