Don't need to do an overview first, not for this set. We've been having weekly Feri-related meetings at our home for a couple of several years now, with me & Eldri theoretically facilitating.
Eldri doesn't do structure. Not at all. Doesn't object to it (at least, not in general; doesn't like some that she's seen). So we've wandered far from anything resembling "training," in an identifiable sense, but we talk about various issues, and sometimes do exercises, and watch movies & eat dinner and talk about how the movies do or don't show various feri qualities, and gossip about the feri community and all that.
So... we've got a good sense of these students (all, umm, four of them, two of whom are newer than the others, and studying with another Feri teacher), and don't need to ease into the work or do evaluations first.
Might each topic as a month; might mix them up more than that. I intend to keep a spreadsheet and check off each thing as we do it so I can keep track. For one thing, the "outdoors" exercises might be easier to do in summer, and we might want to do several of those in a row.
