Christina's Teaching Style
It's been said that teachers who attend my beauty workshops always walk away with a learning experience and informative insights that are immediately applicable for teaching. So, I guess you could say that I'm kinda the facilitator’s facilitator of learning.
My teaching style is learner-focused, particularly during cosmetology training, which helps learners develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities that foster a continuous learning path. This understanding is crucial for building the skills necessary to facilitate engaging team building seminars and to help nurture a solid foundation for becoming DYNAMIC EDUCATORS.
A Professional Fun Approach to Learning!
Lesson planning is at the heart of being an effective Facilitator of Learning, especially in settings like beauty workshops and cosmetology training. It is a creative process that allows us to synthesize our understanding of second language acquisition and language teaching pedagogy with our knowledge of our learners, the curriculum, and the teaching contexts. During this time, we envision the learning we want to create and analyze how all the pieces of the learning experience should fit together to turn that vision into classroom reality.
As a Facilitator of Learning, your effectiveness depends not only on how you view your students from the front of the classroom but also on many other factors. What do you see? If you view your students as formless, faceless blobs, then you are not truly a Facilitator of Learning; you may merely be dispensing information. There are alternative methods of training that can present information more efficiently, such as text, manuals, handbooks, audio tapes, and interactive media.
On the other hand, if you focus on the faces of your students and, in particular, on their eyes, you may establish initial connections that will develop into a deeper engagement. This interaction can empower individuals to achieve skills they could not acquire before your class. You will notice that each face is unique, representing a diverse spectrum of backgrounds, races, intelligence levels, family lives, education, and physical characteristics inherent in our nation.
Many people envision beauty schools as buildings filled with classrooms, equipment, books, and training aids—ideally attractive, comfortable, clean, and in perfect working condition. However, a school, or class, functions as a society where you, the Facilitator, are the second most important member, the first being the students themselves. Your effectiveness will hinge on your knowledge, talent, and the effort you invest in fulfilling your role as an instructor.
Your journey in “opening up the minds” conducive to learning begins with the introduction to your lessons. A well-planned introduction to each subject or topic should be your starting point. Ask yourself this question each time: What can I effectively teach in 4 to 6 hours of content that will guide my student(s) from A to B in the most efficient manner? By doing this, particularly in beauty workshops and team building seminars, you can ensure the best possible start by thoughtfully designing your class presentations.
