I'm in a bit of a rush so I don't have time to expand, but here are a few thoughts:
Buy this book: https://www.amazon.ca/Starting-Out-Right-Beginning-Pedagogy/dp/0810883015 It helped me a LOT.
Sound before sight, rote before note. Don't be in a rush to get to the book.
Take it slow - one thing at a time.
Spend lots of time on small pieces - mouthpiece, headjoint, mpc/barrel for clarinets.
I like Tradition of Excellence over Essential Elements, and I just switched over to having the kids buy their own book. Method books don't really last beyond a year. If you're worried then subsidize it by half (they pay $5, you pay $5 and get a bulk discount from your local music store) and they keep it at the end. Having a nice new book is a good motivator for kids.
Your pull-out system sounds good for the first 2 weeks. 1 week on small pieces or 2-3x, and then full instrument by themself for another week, then full band.
​
Good luck!
