Teaching Methodology
The Student Teaching Course consists of 500 clock hours as prescribed by the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling. The educational objective of the Student Teaching curriculum is to provide the student with sufficient training to pass the State Board Exam, become properly licensed and perform all duties required under such license to secure employment at an entry level.
Requirements of the Student Teacher Course are as follows:
- you must be at least 18 years old
- be the recipient of a current NJ State Cosmetology license
- have a High School Diploma or GED
- have a minimum of 6 months salon experience
- complete 30 clock hours in "Methods of Teaching"
Observation, practice teaching, instruction in lesson planning and teaching methodology are requirements of completion for the Student Teaching Course.
All written and practical tests are graded on a 0-100% basis. Students must maintain a 75% on all written and practical tests. Practical tests have several components in which the individual is assessed on. The cumulative grade of each practical must meet a minimum of 75% or higher to deem a passing grade.
