Course Description
Our cosmetology course is a hands-on science application course. Often; students will enter a traditional science class and experience very little real life application of the concepts that they have learned. This course allows students to see the results of their learning in a practical; lab type setting. Skills learned in cosmetology focus on the care of hair; skin; and nails. Technical training includes the theory of chemicals and hair coloring; client safety; and hygiene/sanitation techniques and theory. The chemical effects of multiple products found in a cosmetology setting are examined in detail. MSDS sheets for all chemicals used are studied; scrutinized; and adhered to without exception. Students attend for 800 clock hours per school year. Embedded within that time is well over 180 hours of applicable science curriculum and objectives; along with considerable hands-on laboratory opportunities. We are asking for recognition of 1 lab science credit.
Course Syllabus
CLINIC COSMETOLOGY SYLLABUS
The objective of the class is students will be able to develop skills that will ready them for State Board licensure and employment in the cosmetology industry. This will include employability skills; customer service; Professional Development and implementation of technical skills in all areas of Cosmetology. The clinic cosmetology program is designed for students who have completed the required hours of Freshman Cosmetology or for students transferring in from other schools with a minimum of 400 hours. A practical and written pre-test will be given prior to students being allowed on clinic floor to work on clients.
This test is designed to exam all practical and written objectives learned in the freshman classroom. Students must pass both exams with a minimum of 80% and completed all assignments.
The clinic days of operation are Monday through Friday
The clinic hours for morning session are:
7:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M.
The clinic hours for afternoon session are:
12:00 P.M. – 4:00 P.M.
Students will not be excused from theory to perform services on clients. Written exams will be given on Chapters from the Milady textbook; handouts; and lecture notes. Instructional methods will include lecture; visits from industry; laboratory work; films; group projects; cooperative learning; demonstration; and interviews. All students will be expected to have a textbook; writing implement; and paper in class.
Textbook: Milady's Standard Cosmetology
Hardcover: 1120 pages
Publisher: Milady; 12 edition (February 22; 2011)
Clinic floor activity will include: working on manikin; models; students; or clients. Grading for Cosmetology II students will be divided as follows:
1/5- Exams
1/5- Quizzes
1/5- Lab
1/5- Professionalism
1/5- Projects
THE GRADING SYSTEM USED IS:
95%-100% = A or 4 competency
93-94% = B+ or 3.5 competency
90-92% = B or 3 competency
88-89% = C+ or 2.5 competency
85-87% = C or 2 competency
83-84% = D+ or 1.5 competency
80-82% = D or 1 competency
79% or below = F or 0 competency
Students may be placed on audit when a student’s grade falls below a “C” and referred to the PASS program.
The sessions are divided into nine weeks. Students who successfully complete each nine- week session will receive 1 credit for high school. Required assignments for each nine-week session will be on CLINIC FLOOR GRADING ASSIGNMENT PACKET.
Students must maintain the required attendance average as stated in the catalog in order to stay in the program (92%) and satisfactory progress in grades. Three tardies are considered an absence and 2 absences will be referred to the PASS program. The Cosmetology program is a clocked hour program. The only way you may receive hours is to be in the Cosmetology building. If you need to see a counselor; are sent to administrative intervention; sent to SWEEP for tardies; or have to see the nurse; you must get a hall pass from your teacher and clock out. Students may not leave the cosmetology building during breaks. One 15 minute break per session will be allowed and are assigned by class. Breaks are a privilege and can be discontinued at teacher discretion.
All students are expected to maintain membership in VICA-Skills USA and to participate in fund raising and other activities as decided by the membership. Officers will be elected to represent the class at ECC meetings; run student meetings; and sign any recommendations for spending of student funds.
At the completion of 1500 hours; students will be given a post- test to determine eligibility for completion. This will be a Mock State Board examination including practical and a written examination similar to the test for licensure. Students must be scheduled by the teacher for the exam. Students who are late or absent on the day of testing will have to wait and take the exam at the next scheduled time. You must pass this exam with a minimum of 80% on both the practical and written examination. If you fail one portion; you only have to retake the portion that you failed. In order to complete the program; you must have clocked a minimum of 1600 hours; achieved all competencies; passed all chapter tests; completed all minimum clinic requirements; passed the mock school board; and paid all fees. The exam will be scheduled based on student need.
CLINIC FLOOR DRESS CODE
Students who are in second year cosmetology will be required to adhere to a stricter dress code. Business or business casual dress will be the only acceptable attire. Any combination of black and white pants or skirt; closed toed shoes of leather or leather type material; and smock must be worn. The EVIT standard dress code in the Student Handbook and cosmetology catalog will also prevail. Any student not in dress code will not be allowed to clock in.
Students will be expected to complete a career portfolio including before and after pictures of their work; complete an interview with industry; and participate in any job fair that is scheduled.
TUITION AND FEES:
All students are required to pay their class fees. If a student is unable to pay because of financial reasons; the school has a scholarship that students may apply for. Students who are in adult status and paying tuition must make payments on the due date as agreed upon in the contract. Students who fail to pay their tuition payments on time will not be allowed to clock in until tuition is paid and may lose their seat in Cosmetology.
