Module 1
I have been in the hairdressing industry for 30 years, having worked in salons for most of this time and for the last five years I have been self-employed. In 2004 I was employed by Bedford College as an Associate Lecturer in Hairdressing and in June 2009 I became a permanent full time member of staff. I appreciate the need to remain up to date within my industry and to this end I am a practising hairdresser in my spare time.
I am currently teaching Hairdressing to two key age groups. I predominately co-ordinate and teach the14-16 Level 2 Hairdressing programme. This is a VRQ qualification and the awarding body is VTCT (Vocational Training Charitable Trust). This qualification enables students to acquire basic skills in hairdressing. Students attend one day per week over years 10 and 11 (key stage 4). I have over 50 students and deliver the programme over 3 days per week. One evening a week I teach a group of mature students (17) on a NVQ leve1/2 Hairdressing course. This course covers the range of hairdressing skills needed, to enable the students to enter and work independently within the industry.
This assignment is has two key parts. In part one I have outlined my understanding and reviewed my teaching role. The responsibilities and boundaries that I work within and what is required of a professional teacher. In part two I have demonstrated that I have an understanding of teaching and learning approaches in my area, and have up to date knowledge in current legislative requirements and understand the need for record keeping.
1.1 As an experienced Hairdresser, associate lecturer and also as a newly appointed full time member of teaching staff at Bedford College. I have a good understanding of my roles and responsibilities.
Most importantly, my role is to plan and prepare the lesson and promote teaching and learning so that the students achieve their learning aims in line with college policies and procedures. It is an important responsibility...
