Professionalism:

In training to be a professional cosmetologist, esthetician, nail technician or barber, you must be a caring, open-minded individual. You must use your training and knowledge to try and satisfy the needs and wants of every client. You must be able to put your ego and problems aside, to be a contributing member of the team. You must be an excellent communicator. This requires the ability to listen and observe, to consult with and suggest ideas, services, and products to colleagues, instructors, management, and clients.Professionalism can be seen and felt in a school, salon, spa, or any technical business. It is a balanced combination of choice of words, tone of voice, physical actions, education, technical training, determination, honesty, good judgment, decision making, cleanliness, sharp appearance, and talent.

Guidelines to Professionalism:

1. Listen. Listen to your instructors, listen to suggestions and advice from 17

each other with kindness and appreciation, and listen to your client.2. Service all clients to the best of your ability. Treat every person in your

environment as the special person they are.3. Consult with each client/instructor prior to their service. This establishes

good communications and avoids service errors.4. Teamwork and cooperation with colleagues, instructors, and staff makes

all goals easier to attain. Help colleagues and instructors when possible. An atmosphere of teamwork is easily noticed and appreciated.

Student Guidelines and Standards:

H. Appearance/Dress Code:

Proper attire in the school is required. Appearance should be neat, clean, and well-groomed with clothing properly fastened and pressed. No soiled, torn or inappropriate dress for a professional environment will be permitted. Students will not wear clothing that exposes their underarms, cleavage, or rear-end. Students will not wear “flip-flops”, sandals, or other open-toe footwear due to sanitation and safety concerns. Baseball caps/other headgears are not permitted. Violations of the above-described dress code will result in the student being sent home to correct his/her attire.Personal hygiene and sanitation are the daily responsibility of each student. We are near many people daily. It is imperative that each student be keenly aware of personal breath and body odor. We strongly suggest showering/bathing before coming to school, the frequent use of mouthwash, breath mints and deodorant during the day.Students can receive credit for styling their own, or each other’s hair, nails, and make-up during school, however, these activities will consume no more than one hour each day, to be completed during the beginning of the day. A professional appearance in these areas is essential to the overall image of today’s cosmetologist, esthetician, barber, or Massage Therapy.

The Administrative Staff will have the final decision on any questionable dress code or appearance violations

You are required to work as neatly as possible. After each work assignment, you are expected to clean and tidy up, refilling supplies as needed. Your personal belongings should be stored in the student area or your vehicle. Kits are to be skillfully placed underneath your workstation.

K. Duties:

A duty roster will be made monthly for all classroom/clinic duties. This will be done on a rotating basis for fairness to all students. Your duties are an assignment as part of your training. Instructors will check all duties at the end of the day.

L. Towels and Supplies:

Students are responsible for the proper up-keep of the clients’ chemical service files and for all supplies. Towels must be clean and ready for use both day and night. Massage students must have drapes, sheets, etc. ready for the next day.

attendance or receive hours.

N. Client Services:

Students are never to leave a client unattended – it could be dangerous to the client and is unprofessional.

P.Tardiness:

If you are going to be late, a courtesy phone call is required. Please call and give your message to an instructor, not a student. Over 5 un-excused lates per month will result in a suspension. Students who return more than 15 minutes late from lunch or break may be sent home for the day.

Q. Attendance and Absenteeism

The student should be aware that absenteeism for more than 14 consecutive days without contacting the school can result in the student being terminated from the program. Time is calculated on the quarter hour.

The expected date of graduation may be changed throughout your program because of unexpected school closures. Once a student has used all time allotted for absenteeism, they will be required to purchase additional training hours, at the current hourly tuition rate ($5.00 per hour). Payment arrangements must be made with the School Director at that time. All students should be in their class location 5 minutes prior to starting class. At this time, the student should be completely prepared for class – all materials needed in hand, hair and make-up done, and completely dressed for the school day. Students are required to call in if not attending school for the day. When calling in, you must speak with a School Official. Massage students refer to page 30 of the massage catalog.

R Leave of Absence :

Glenda’s Training Center offers a leave of absence policy as a courtesy to students during trying times. Students, anticipating needing between 14 to 60 days off should contact the office for a leave of absence form. A leave of absence may be granted for medical, family, or personal reasons. Examples are daycare problems, illness of the student or family member, marital problems, or financial problems. If more than 60 days is needed to resolve

the problem, the student may be required to withdraw with the intention to re-enroll when the problem is resolved.

A student must be in good academic standing to be approved for a leave of absence.Because students are accumulating hours and requirements, every hour missed on a leave of absence will extend the student’s completion date.

The length of the leave of absence will extend a student’s refund period.While on a leave of absence over 3 weeks, students must call the school office after 2 weeks, and then ever 2 weeks to confirm the planned return. If a student is not able to return by the designated end date, the leave of absence may be extended depending on the circumstances. Failure to return by the designated end date or failure to contact the school office may result in termination.

Student Grievance Procedure:

If a student has a grievance the protocol to follow is:

1. Informal discussion with their immediate instructor

2. Written REPORT OF GRIEVANCE presented to staff. THE ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED IN 7 TO 10 DAYS.

3. IF still not resolved, the student may contact:

Attendance & Class Participation

Attendance at all class sessions is required. In massage therapy, if you do not show up for an appointment, you don’t get paid. If you show up late for appointments, you will lose clients. If you do not participate fully in a treatment, you will quickly find that you are no longer working in the massage therapy career field. Punctuality, attendance, and participation are extremely important in this class.

Note: There will be a total of ten community service events, and five of the ten will be required. Extra credit will be given for participation above and beyond the requirement.

Points for attendance / participation will constitute [example] 100 points, or 20% of your final grade for the course. Much of the material taught in many sessions will be critically linked to material taught in prior sessions. It is therefore imperative that you make every effort to arrive early to all classes and remain in class for the full period. If you are going to be absent for a legitimate reason, you must make up the class time here, in the school building, according to state law. Any absence for an extended period, whether planned or unexpected, must be addressed with the instructor to discuss ways for you to complete the course requirements.

Active participation is required throughout the course. You are expected to participate in all hands-on training by working with a partner on massage days. Participation includes early arrival to class and fill class attendance. In addition, completed homework will be counted toward your participation grade.

Here is how the system works: Every student begins with 85 attendance/participation points. For each absence, eight points will be deducted. For each late episode, early departure, non-participation event, or failure to complete homework, five points will be deducted. For each voluntary participation in community outreach or athletic / sports massage event, you will receive five extra credit points.

TRANSFER STUDENTS: Must submit a detailed notarized transcript of theory and practical operations from previous school attended.

Important Reminders

Page 31:  · Web view2020/06/01  · xlivTheory & Practice of Therapeutic Massage Course Management Guide. xliv. Theory & Practice of Therapeutic Massage Course Management Guide © 2017 Milady,

Class Attendance: Your attendance at each class, including final examination period is required unless excused by your instructor or otherwise permitted in accordance with the school’s academic calendar for this semester. Failure to abide by this policy could result in an adverse performance evaluation, including the lowering of your grade by one or more whole letters. Regular class attendance will be taken. If you must miss a class due to significant illness or other circumstances beyond your control you must notify your instructor in advance of the class. You will be asked to demonstrate knowledge of any missed lecture material and/ or assigned readings through written means.

Professional Behavior: To foster class participation, interactive dialogs entailing the exchange of ideas pertaining to course content will be respected and encouraged throughout the course. However, chatting o sharing notes with fellow students about topics unrelated to course content during the class period will be seen as distracting from course goals. Moreover, cell phone use is banned while the class is in session, unless instructed by the educator. If you must make or receive a phone message, do so before class, during the class break, or after class. Failure to abide by these basic classroom courtesies will cause your grade to be lowered by an amount determined by

Plagiarism: Plagiarism is often considered to be one of the worst forms of behavior in academia. Plagiarism refers to the use of another person’s expressed thoughts, ideas, writing, or data without properly acknowledging the source of the material. Using the work of another person and trying to pass it off as one’s own without attributing the source is an act of plagiarism. Students caught plagiarizing may face severe consequences—from failure in the course to dismissal from the school. When producing any work for this course, you must properly attribute the source or sources when you quote, paraphrase, or convey ideas, concepts, theories, or other data.

Civility and Courtesy: You are expected to behave in a mature, responsible, and civil manner during the course. Please do not engage in any behavior that will be disruptive to the class or that might affect other student’ efforts to pay attention. Cell phones should be turned off during class, unless instructed otherwise by the educator. In keeping the school’s policies. There will be no tolerance of any behavior that is intimidating, harassing, or discriminatory.

Timeliness and Promptness: The course aims to cover a lot of material and will move at a swift pace. Please make sure you are in class and settled before a session
