Suggested best practices for Lead Instructor compensation:

• Admin work (emails, scheduling, social media, attending the Lead call, watching FB forum videos, taking classes, recruiting, etc) should be set at a lower hourly rate than training 
• The training rate (auditions, team training, working with a current instructor, evaluations) should be a higher hourly rate as this is a specialized skillset
• In addition to teaching their classes, expect a lead to work an additional 5-7 hours a week 
• Set expectations for each week
