A Beauty School Survival Kit for Instructor Training

As an esteemed instructor at a beauty school, you must be prepared to provide hundreds of students with superior hair and beauty training. Each instructor will manage classes and pupils differently, but having a survival kit can be invaluable when it comes to planning lessons, keeping records, and working with students individually.

If you are an instructor at a beauty school currently, or if you plan to teach in the future, consider the following as you create your hair and beauty school instructor training survival kit.

Essentials for a Beauty School Instructor Training Survival Kit

• Personal laptop computer. Investing in a laptop system makes any instructor's job exponentially easier and more organized. While it may take some time getting familiar with pertinent software programs, when a comfort level is reached you will find that many tasks can be done far more efficiently on the computer. This leaves time to focus on other important instructor duties. Everything from student profiles to budgeting can be done on your laptop, wherever you take it.
• Industry contacts. Use your relationships with product reps and other beauty therapists in the industry to benefit your students through school visits and guest lectures.
• Psychology and communication books. Teaching is a balance of sharing information and communicating with various personality types effectively. Every beauty school instructor should have a thorough understanding of the principles of psychology and effective communication.
• Beauty industry books. Part of your job as an instructor is to give students a multi-dimensional approach to hair or beauty training. Stay up-to-
• date on books that discuss new approaches, concepts, and other various facets of the beauty industry.
• Fashion and beauty magazine subscriptions. Fashion and beauty magazines provide essential information for beauty school instructors. Every month, the latest news in fashion, hair, cosmetics, and esthetics is delivered to your door, ready to be shared with your students and worked in to your class lessons.

Organization Tools

Along with the necessary teaching and beauty supplies, a beauty school survival kit for instructor training should include anything that helps keep you organized. Items may include a daily planner, handheld electronic organizer, notepad, calculator, or filing case.

Teaching at a beauty school is a diverse and exciting responsibility. Make the most of your instructor training by creating your own personalized survival kit.
