The club I teach at aspires to that level. There's a mandatory ground school required first, a written manual included with the ground school, a syllabus for the planned flight instruction, a checklist for the instructor to sign off on for each stage of instruction. It is not as comprehensive as speedracerntrixie notes, but does a pretty reasonable job of keeping everyone on track and to set the beginners on course to achieving solo flight. Does have one Instructor designated to be the only one for ground school (consistency), and even has a dedicated instructor that hauls a laptop out to the field on training nights, to go over the basics of how to use a simulator for most effective learning. Those of us on the buddy boxes have periodic pilots meetings to coordinate how we teach, and to swap ideas on what methods seem to work best with each individual student that we currently have on the roster.
