Show this slide as participants arrive.
Display Salon Fundamentals program components on a table at the front or along the side walls of the room on skirted tables (if possible). Position LCD projector. Turn LCD Projector on first, then computer. If available, plug in the remote control device into the mouse port on the back of the laptop computer before turning on the laptop or projector. Once the LCD projector has been on a few minutes, touch the orange standby key to start the connection to the screen. Note: In the event a connection does not occur you may need to use a function key on the computer. Look for the diagram of a monitor on the function row of keys. Open the presentation file on the computer and ensure everything is working properly. Check the lighting controls and adjust the lighting if necessary. The LCD works best positioned about 20 feet from the screen. Place participant props on the tables and either place the handouts at each participant seat or ask an assistant to hand them to participants as they enter the classroom. 2

Welcome Agenda Introductions ORIENTATION 4
Welcome participants to the orientation seminar for Salon Fundamentals. Introduce yourself. Announce that Salon Fundamentals is unique in that it contains a learning system built right into the program. Why is that a good deal? Well, as a school owner, you can be assured that students will reflect back and remember they learned how to be a better student when they attended your school. As a teacher, you will be able to work smarter, not harder. No longer will you be isolated within a classroom without tools to increase learning. Salon Fundamentals contains seven Mindframes designed to gain students’ interest, exchange ideas, support learner performance, validate learner achievements and promote learner responsibility. Today our primary goal is to support your understanding and implementation of this dynamic program. Ensure that all participants are comfortable and that everyone has received the appropriate materials. Announce break, lunch and dismissal time frames, restroom locations and meal function details. Describe the flow of the instructional plan of the day by saying: First, we will review the components of the Salon Fundamentals programs. Then, we will discuss how the brain learns and how the seven Mindframes incorporate this knowledge into the course materials. Later, we will actually preview the contents of each textbook and Study Guide to gain an understanding of how the content is delivered. Finally, we will summarize the session and wish each other a safe journey home. Learning Connection: “JUST LIKE” INTRODUCTION Ask participants to look around the room, in their pockets or purses or wallets and find an object they can use as a tool to create an analogy that states why they as a teacher are “just like” the item that was selected. Announce that you would like each participant to say who they are, where they are from and then share the analogy they have created. You might choose to offer an example by saying: “Good morning, My name is Ann Jones. I am from X,Y,Z school in (Name of that Town) and I have selected this pencil because as a teacher I like to get to the point, I am able to erase my mistakes and start over and I can be sharpened by attending classes like this one.” 4

Learning Conditions Learning occurs when it is…
Learning grows when it… Personal Natural Emotional Developmental Self-Correcting Lifelong Involves all of the senses Depends on a more inclusive way of “seeing” Happens in a light-hearted, joyful place Introduce to participants that you would like to now discuss some important information about learning in an effort to help them better understand the concepts woven throughout the Salon Fundamentals program. Personal refers to the student being engaged (thinking) during the learning process. Natural means permission is present within the classroom to be curious, investigative, and encouragement is given to create associations to build memory retention. Emotional relates to feeling first…. If you are going to teach me, gain my interest first. Emotion sets learning in motion. Without emotional impact learning lacks long-term retention. Developmental implies stages of concept, correction, understanding, application, assessment. Self-Correcting means recognizing, correcting, redirecting. Lifelong is ongoing and also relates to developmental. Involves all the senses refers to experiential, sensory or active learning. It means to go beyond hearing and seeing. Depends on a more inclusive way of “seeing” refers to the fact that the brain can manipulate visual input easier than auditory. Visual representation allows easier access by the brain. Auditory input or listening is taxing to the brain and requires more steps to process. Visual is quicker and longer lasting. Light-hearted and joyful identifies an environment and physical/mental condition recommended for learning. 19

Brain Basics: Patterns
The brain learns by searching for patterns that “make sense.” For example, the brain stores information by how it is similar to something it already knows, but recalls information by how items are different. The brain’s natural reaction is to search for how information is different. You say black, the brain thinks white. Differences or opposites are the first file drawer in the brain to open when asked to locate or recall information. Share the following examples and ask participants to let their brain “do the driving” as they share their first “natural” response. You say: Participants will likely respond with: night day up down yes no good bad tall short Similarities and differences become patterns the brain uses to make sense of what it is attempting to learn. Additional patterns include things that are joined commonly with a conjunction like “and”…such as in the following slide. 20
21
Pairs That Make Sense Shoes and Socks Salt and Pepper Rise and Shine
Before and After You may want to ask the group to come up with additional pairs related to the Cosmetology, Esthetics and Nails topics, such as: Comb and Brush Cut and Style Facial and Makeup Shape and File Bride and Groom 21
22
Rhythms and Rhymes Patterns That Make Sense
A funny story with a punch line is called a ______. joke Coke® When you are thirsty you buy a can of _______. You tie things down with a _______. rope The brain stores information by how it is similar, recalls information and increases retention of information through patterns that make sense, such as rhymes or rhythms. Present the four statements on this slide and ask participants to respond by completing the statement. Participants will feel the brain at work in its natural cycle as rhyming drives the thought process. The white of the egg is called the _________. albumen 22
23
Brain Basics: Stories The brain creates more sophisticated neural connections by integrating ideas into a coherent story. The brain likes a beginning, middle and end. It is hard-wired to pay attention at the beginning and to come back to the same close attention at the end of the story. Sometimes, depending on the length of the story, the middle gets fuzzy. A coherent story means that learning moves from simple to more complex. In other words, teach the color wheel before teaching how to formulate or mix colors. Build test questions in a progression from how the content was introduced through to the conclusion of the lesson. Ask review questions in an order that is directly related to the order in which the content was introduced. This Brain Basic also implies that a student will remember a storyline before they remember a string of facts. Add human interest to the lesson through the use of testimonials or guest speakers, add elements of surprise or curiosity as you move through the lesson and lead to a climatic summary as you end the lesson. 23
24
Brain Basics: Emotions
Emotion exerts powerful control over learning: Downshifting and excessive stress hamper learning. The 3 Shifts of the Brain In other words, there are three parts of the brain connected to the learning process: - Conscious - Unconscious Survival When students downshift from stress or overload of emotion, the brain goes from thinking, which is found in the top part of the brain, to the mid-brain, or the unconscious part of the brain. Learning does not occur in the unconscious part of the brain, automatic reactions occur here. Boredom or lack of interest also causes downshifting of the brain. The illustration on the slide provides a brief look (made simple) of the conscious (thinking) part of the brain, the mid-brain (unconscious) and the base of the brain where decisions of fight-or-flight or survival are made. Teachers want to help keep the student in the thinking or conscious part of the brain. Curiosity and interest help keep the learner in the thinking mode. 24
25
Brain Basics: Interaction
The brain develops higher levels of thinking ability by interacting with different and unique types of learning tasks. It is the interaction of the student and the content that helps transform learning into new meaning. The goal here is to utilize “best practice” delivery methods and learning strategies that involve the learner. It’s all about transforming or allowing the student an opportunity to change what is being learned into MEANING by using products and thoughts to construct new meaning or something that makes sense to them. Building a color wheel, acting out role-plays or solving problems within a group setting are just a few of the ways students work together to build meaning. 25
26
Brain Basics: Categories
The brain organizes information to be learned by sorting information and raw materials into categories. There are four verbs that describe the primary sorting patterns used by the brain. Two of them have already been presented: similar and different. The brain also utilizes compare and contrast as sorting tools for storing and recalling information. Examples of using these categories of sorting include: Similar: zygomatic bone (cheek bone) and zygomaticus (muscle attached to cheek bone) Different: public hygiene and personal hygiene Compare: oily skin to dry skin Contrast: acid in contrast to alkaline 26
27
Brain Sort 5 44 to 48 8 10 60 to 80 9 By the Numbers
An example of helping students sort during the learning process of a chapter could be categorizing all the numbers that are important to recall. By placing numbers as a category you are giving the brain the signal that these are similar and by identifying how they are different through their meaning, you are helping the brain call them up faster and remember them for a longer period of time. Examples used on this slide include: 5 – primary types of tissue 44 to 48 ounces – weight of the brain 8 – number of primary organs 10 – systems of the body 60 to 80 – heartbeats per minute 9 – hours (time it takes to digest food) 27
28
Brain Basics: Active Learning
Active learning builds smarter brains. Active in this case refers to the actual engagement of the student in academic learning time. During this time the student is not listening to a lecture or viewing an A/V presentation. Instead, the student is constructing or building meaning by participating in active individual or group learning—working to create meaning through the use of discussion, problem-solving, practice workshops or assessment sessions, etc. Research tells us that the more the brain learns, the larger the capacity is for the brain to learn more. Research also tells us that active learning increases the potential for learning more and remembering it longer. Combining these two pieces of the latest research has helped us build a strong learning system within the Salon Fundamentals program. 28
29
Keys to Learning Students are more likely to gain greater understanding and derive greater pleasure from learning when they are encouraged to… TRANSFORM LEARNING INTO PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND PRODUCTS THAT MAKE SENSE. Learning is defined as a change in behavior. The two primary methods for causing learning to occur are repetition and emotional impact. The 7 Mindframes that we will be taking a close look at are designed to help students use their brain power in specific ways while utilizing repetition and emotional impact. 29
30
Unique Learning System Within the Salon Fundamentals Program
To help build understanding and long-term retention, the brain utilizes 7 specific steps when learning new ideas. Salon Fundamentals helps students use these specific ways to demonstrate brainpower by incorporating… THE 7 MINDFRAMES Inform the participants that the next portion of the seminar will highlight the 7 Mindframes, which are the components of the learning system that is built into the Salon Fundamentals program. Explain that a detailed explanation of the 7 Mindframes can be found on the following pages of the Study Guides for each course: Salon Fundamentals, Cosmetology Study Guide, pages 2-10 Salon Fundamentals, Esthetics Study Guide, pages pages v-xiv Salon Fundamentals, Nails Study Guide, pages 1-12 30

Learning Opportunity – Use the 7 Mindframes for every subject to help:
1 Focus attention and manage information Personalize and identify important information Identify patterns and build memory capacity Reinforce organizational skills and foster self-esteem Apply knowledge of important skills Practice test events Reflect on improved learning capacity 2 3 4 5 Emphasize that the 7 Mindrames are educational tools that mediate learning and can be used for any subject that is being presented to students. Mediate means to bring about or to reconcile. Mediate is the process of helping a teacher select the appropriate learning strategy for each and every student. Mediating learning as a teacher means that you have tools that mediate or bring about learning. You have different tools for different learners. Tools that work best for most students are usually referred to as “best practice.” Teachers who mediate by finding the right tools for each learner can expect their students to be successful. Salon Fundamentals provides Mindframes that help teachers mediate learning. 6 7 32
33
Salon Fundamentals Learning System
Each of the 7 Mindframes is accomplished in your classroom by following the Salon Fundamentals Study Guide. In reference to the Study Guide, the students work their way through different exercises that allow them to use their brainpower in different ways. Therefore, the Study Guide becomes a source for mediating learning. The Study Guide is a primary mediation tool for the Salon Fundamentals program, but has other various tools located within it, just like a tool box. To help identify the specific Mindframe each exercise requires, an icon is placed at the bottom of every Study Guide page. The Mindframe being used on each page is highlighted. On some pages, more than one Mindframe is highlighted. Ask participants to preview the pages of their Study Guide to see where the Mindframe bar is located. Specific pages you could call out include: Salon Fundamentals, Cosmetology Study Guide, page 19 or 20 (page 20 has two Mindframes on one page). Salon Fundamentals, Esthetics Study Guide page, 1 or 10 (page 10 has two Mindframes on one page). Salon Fundamentals, Nails Study Guide page, 1 or 13 (page 13 has two Mindframes on one page). 33
34
A specific way to use brainpower
Mindframes A specific way to use brainpower Again, before we take a close look at the 7 Mindframes, remember each Mindframe highlights a specific way to use brainpower. Throughout the Study Guide, Mindframes identify the type of brainpower needed to complete the exercises…allowing the Study Guide to help mediate learning. 34
35
Enables the learner to get the big picture before turning attention to details.
Previewing invites the student to look through the information. The Value, Main Idea and Plan found on the opening pages of each chapter in the textbook and Study Guide are methods used to invite the learner to preview and become familiar with the information. Learning involves paying attention to things that are important. The teacher activates learner interest by calling out the important concepts. Previewing is the mindframe that generates a safe point of departure into new learning by beginning with what the learner already knows. The teacher connects to the learner’s prior knowledge to build confidence. Previewing also establishes the amount of energy the learner will use in order to be successful. The teacher communicates expectations to offer direction. Previewing sets up memory files that will be used later to make sense of new ideas and information. The teacher frames the content to help learners see the big picture by using visual advance organizers. Previewing is a strategy that falls within the Readiness Phase of Mindful Teaching. 35
36
When the mind approaches something new, in order to learn, it:
Scans Skims Skips Notices what it likes or doesn’t like Notices what it knows or doesn’t know What is the first thing you do when trying to decide if you should buy a book? You leaf through the pages. You scan, skim, skip through the pages and try to determine if it is something you would be interested in. The mind works that way with anything new. The same is true when you go to a restaurant and receive the menu... You scan through the pages to see what they have. You skim back through the headings to see if they have specials or specialties. You skip over the details until you narrow down what you want. You notice foods that you like. You notice foods that are new or different. The teacher attempts to bring out what is complex or different or new or familiar based on the material being presented. 36
37
When should educators preview?
Why preview content? To cue attention, activate learner interest, set the stage for meaningful learning When should educators preview? At the time new content is being introduced or continued to another session How should students preview? Why preview content? Verbal or visual cueing by the educator helps gain attention and build learner curiosity. Previewing offers teachers strategies for gaining student interest, confidence, direction and ability to see the big picture during the Readiness Phase of teaching. When should educators preview? The more complex the topic, the more time needs to be spent Previewing. In typical introductions of new content 15 to 20 minutes of the first hour would be spent Previewing. How do students preview? Many educators prefer to use a pair share to preview materials. In general, variety is the answer here. By using pairs, small group or independent (individual) approaches to Previewing, the student is offered a variety of learning strategies and opportunities to become familiar with the information. Individually, in pairs or small groups, followed by feedback from the instructor 37
38
How does an educator decide what to preview?
Identify aspects of the chapter that would attract learner interest Determine prior knowledge that could be connected to the content within the chapter Inform students about content within the chapter that will require extra effort to learn How does an educator decide what to preview? By identifying parts of the chapter that would initially draw learner interest the educator gains a level of attention at the beginning of the lesson that is more personal for students. By determining the prior knowledge that could be connected to the content within the chapter the educator helps build student confidence that they can accomplish the goals within the new learning. By informing students about the efforts that will be needed in specific areas, the educator is providing a road map that will help students measure how they are doing as they prepare to study and learn the content within the chapter. Strategies for delivering Previewing include: Group discussion on what is not known or feared to know about the upcoming topic Group question on a related topic with which the learner might have past experience Individual effort of above methods Scavenger hunts for: New words or terms found by the learner Familiar words or terms to the learner Difficult concepts assigned by the teacher Specific words or terms as assigned 38
39
MAIN IDEA of the message PLAN for linking the message
VALUE for the learner MAIN IDEA of the message PLAN for linking the message Both the textbook and Study Guide provide Previewing at the beginning of each chapter. The idea behind the Value is that if students feel good about how what they are going to learn will impact their life, they are more interested. If students see what is in it for them as a benefit, they will pay more attention. Remind the group that the students are tuned into radio station WII-FM (What’s In It For Me?) The Main Idea makes use of chunking again, in the sense that it gives an overview of the chapters in very few words. The Plan is an advance organizer. It shapes the information in an organized manner and previews the major areas of study. It is designed to work like a road sign that indicates what the road is like ahead. Ask participants to turn to page 1 of the Study Guide and pages 1 and 2 of the textbook to see the Value, Main Idea and Plan. Discuss that each chapter begins with the same opening style. 39
40
Previewing within the textbook and Study Guide
The screen will animate Chapter 1 pages 23 and 24 to show previewing in the Salon Fundamentals Cosmetology Textbook. Then, page 11 of the Study Guide appears on the screen. Point out the following components: - Mindframe Bar - Value Statement - Main Idea - Plan 40
41
Mindframe 1, Previewing Exercise Preview Chapter 1:
What looks familiar or might be easy to learn? What looks like it might be difficult to learn? Are there new terms that are unfamiliar? What looks fun to learn more about? Assign participants to work in pairs as they answer the questions displayed on the screen. Instruct pairs to be prepared to share their findings with the whole group. Refer participants to the Mindful Teaching Fieldbook, Volume 1, for additional Readiness Phase Learning Connections on pages 1-52. 41
42
A template you can use to preview:
Explain to participants that a previewing template can be found in the Addendum of the Mindful Teaching Fieldbook, which can be made into a handout for students to work in groups or pairs for discussion and then shared with the class. 42
43
Puts content into the learner’s own words in a form that makes sense—note-taking.
Naming is all about putting a label to the learning, prioritizing how important it is and then personalizing it or naming it. Naming means defining. Learning involves paying attention to DIFFERENCES. Naming is the Mindframe that focuses learner attention on what makes things the way they are. Once something is labeled as different from other things, it gets a name. Naming is the Mindframe that helps the learner put ideas into an order that makes thinking about them easier. Naming is the Mindframe that uncovers why things are unique. Naming is a part of the Delivery Phase within the Mindful Teaching program and occurs during the Exchanging of Ideas segment when the educator is defining and explaining during the interactive lecture. 43
44
The SmartNotes system of note-taking identifies:
Main topics Page references Key terms SmartNotes help students: Manage information Build memory from what the hand writes or jots down in short phrases and/or doodles Modeled from Dr. Walter Pauk’s Cornell Notes, SmartNotes are the component within the Study Guide that allow students to apply the naming Mindframe. To summarize – SmartNotes allow the learner to: Direct their thinking (Header and recall [left] column identify key points) Manage information (headings and page references are already done) Tap into their natural intelligence (what they already know) Personalize their learning (by giving it a name) Prioritize their learning (by seeing how much space is allowed to write notes) Naming is all about differences—how is this different from what I already know? What name should I give it to remember it? Naming defines and prioritizes the content. 44
45
Why assign note-taking?
To create an organized set of notes for future review and self-testing To identify key concepts and terms necessary for understanding the content When should educators have students take notes or name content? Why name content? Organizing and managing content is easy for learners that are above average, but difficult for those average or below. Having prepared note pages provides cues for the student who struggles with organizing and managing information. Naming states the critical differences between topic areas. Naming identifies, defines, lists and labels differences. When should educators have students take notes or name content? SmartNotes can be completed during the lecture, assigned as a follow up to the lesson, or as a self-study prior to the lecture and then refined during the lecture. Any time important segments of content or related information are explained 45
46
How should learners take notes or name content?
Individually, during the lecture How should educators assess or grade the notes students are creating? Educators are encouraged to assess effort and mentor creativity One thing students cannot do is copy the words straight from the book or slide How should learners take notes or name content? It is generally recommended that students work alone and take notes during the time the educator is lecturing. However, in more complex areas of study you may want students to pair up and collaborate on their notes in an effort to share knowledge and expertise. Should learners assess or grade the notes students are creating? What is important here is that students are given permission to be creative and are encouraged to personalize the information. In essence they are rewriting the text in their own words. Educators should give guidance to a student who is struggling with note-taking, but also avoid being so structured that the student’s own system of knowing cannot surface. Many educators ask students to display some of their SmartNotes to give other students ideas. 46
47
Ask participants to open the Study Guide and turn to:
Cosmetology, pages 12 and 13 Esthetics, page 6 Nails, page 5 Point out that the left column along the side of the SmartNotes identifies the important segments of content for the student. This is called the recall column and is used for self-testing when notes are completed by covering the left or right column of the SmartNotes and naming the area covered by using the uncovered content to direct the test. Explain to participants that the notes do not need to make sense to anyone but the student—hey are rewriting the text into their own words. The educator’s role is to mentor or coach improvement in note-taking. 47
48
Chapter Major Concept Page Reference Recall Column Note Section
Inform participants that the completed pages of SmartNotes for each chapter are found in the teacher’s version of the Study Guide. Explain that only words are offered, allowing teachers to add their own creative drawings. Add that the completed pages found in the TSM can be printed and used for absent students to help give them a jump start or for students having trouble completing SmartNotes. Point out the Mindframe bar at the bottom of the page, along with chapter notification at the top left corner, major concept in the center and page reference to the right of the major concept. Explain that the words in the left column are referred to as recall terms and the column is called the recall column. The remaining area to the right of the recall column is the intended note-taking column. If time permits, you could choose to do a quick lecture (10 minutes) using a specified area of content within a textbook and ask participants to complete SmartNotes during your lecture. Select an area that would be of interest to all courses (Cosmetology, Esthetics, Nails), such as Professional Development, Salon Business, Electricity, Chemistry, etc. 48
49
Sorts things into groups that are related.
Learning involves looking for related patterns that make sense. Connecting is the Mindframe that explains how things relate to each other and/or are similar. Connecting occurs during the lecture or exchange of ideas during the Delivery Phase. 49
50
A system to help the brain make connections and seek novelty
Connecting is the Mindframe that helps students describe how parts of the topic relate to each other. A system to help the brain make connections and seek novelty Increases the learner’s ability to learn and retain what they learn Allows students to see possibilities that reach into many areas of their real life Connecting helps the brain take a mental photograph of what is being learned. Because related items are used to help cue the learning, the learner can store more than one mental picture and have a broader scope of understanding. As a way to review, help the participants understand the brief description listed below: Previewing–Enables the learner to get the big picture before turning attention to details. (importance) Naming–Puts content into the learner’s own words in a form that makes sense— note-taking. (differences) Connecting–Sorts things into groups that are related . (similarities) Connecting creates a pattern that makes sense. Ask participants to think of the associations or connections they make to remember certain things longer. Offer an example of a connection you might make and then ask if anyone has one they want to share. For example: I met a man named Mr. Tyler. To help remember his name I associated the fact that his tie only covered his chest to the upper level of his stomach, therefore, tie – Tyler. Other examples include: Relatedness within Anatomy content, such as Zygomatic bone, Zygomaticus muscle and Zygomatic nerve Word associations used to remember the skin and nail disorders and diseases COHNS to remember that hair is made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur DR I.M. SCREEN to remember the 10 body systems 50
51
To highlight how things fit together
Why? To highlight how things fit together To enhance the ability to store and remember information When? Any time content or related information needs to be linked for understanding Why use the Connecting Mindframe? The Connecting Mindframe helps students see how things relate to each other and Connecting enhances the ability to store (similarities) and remember information. When are Connecting Mindframes used? Connecting exercises can be added whenever content needs related information to help build understanding—which often occurs when terms are difficult to understand or the information is very complex. How are the Connecting Mindframes used? Connecting Mindframes can be done individually, in pairs or within groups. The decision is generally made based on the type of Connecting exercise that is being completed. For example, in some cases a simple matching exercise would be better assigned as an individual exercise, while pairs or groups could tackle a “Thinking Map” together and enhance the results through collaboration. How? Individually, in pairs or within groups 51

Jump Start Box LEARNING CONNECTION: Try A “Thinking Map” Ask participants to work as a group to complete the “Thinking Map” shown on the screen. Explain how to move the terms found in the Jump Start Box to the appropriate related heading. In other words, CONNECT the Jump Start terms to the related heading. Encourage participants to add one term or item that is not found in the Jump Start Box to each heading on the “Thinking Map.” Share results and determine if all participants are understanding how to use the Jump Start Box and “Thinking Map.” Menu Entertainment Location Seafood Karaoke Parking Salad Bar Violinist Scenic View Wine List Jazz Band Accessibility “Thinking Maps” can also be used to quickly introduce a large amount of information. “Thinking Maps” create pictures of what you know using shapes, patterns, words, doodles and connections of all kinds. Once again, spatial intelligence (importance based on size) has a chance to shine. “Thinking Maps” make thoughts visible and prompt new thinking. If time permits allow participants to complete a “Thinking Map” within their respective course.

Connecting is also found in other formats within the Salon Fundamentals programs. Explain the example on the screen by stating that in this example students are asked to connect with the more appropriate way to communicate with a client. If time permits, encourage participants to browse other connecting exercises such as: Cosmetology, pages 104,154, 168, 219 Esthetics, pages 3, 16, 50-51, 73, 75-76 Nails, pages 7, 10, 37, 39, 69, 75-76 Note: there are many more Connecting exercises within each of the textbooks. Direct participants to look for the highlighted number 3 on the Mindframe bar at the bottom of the Study Guide pages. If time permits ask participants to work as a group to complete the connecting exercise shown on the screen. You can read the statements and ask them to select the best response. You can find this exercise on page 179 of the Nails Study Guide. 53
54
Provides a recap; summarizes before moving forward.
Self-checking provides the opportunity for students to go back to the beginning to look over everything and see how much they know before moving forward. It is key that “along the way” the learner is given the opportunity to measure the success they have with the information being presented. This provides an answer that reduces anxiety that arises from waiting until receiving a grade at the end of the lesson. Self-checking is feedback on the way versus at the gate, and it takes place during the Delivery Phase to affirm understanding. 54
55
Self-checking allows learners to:
Know how they are doing Identify which portions of the material need more effort and attention Affirm understanding Self-checking provides feedback to learners at a critical point in the learning process. Self-checking prevents wasting time and confusion later when the learning becomes more complex. Educators need to stop and self-check more often when presenting more complex topics. 55
56
Why? To determine the learners’ level of readiness for new learning challenges When? At the midpoint in any teaching cycle Self-checking determines if moving ahead is a “Go or No-Go” situation. Is the learner ready to move forward to apply what they know? If the student is not ready, moving forward will become difficult. 56
57
Learner should expect to get 80% of the answers correct before moving on to new material.
I Know: I Need to Study: This statistic is key in helping the teacher know when to move on with individual students or groups of students. It drives future reviews, curriculum changes and added emphasis. If a student is not able to get 80% of the answers correct, the student revisits the areas that were not correct and attempts to learn the information by using different exercises than before. For example, add information to their notes, make new connections, review with a study partner, etc. This process is referred to as remedial instruction. 57

Puts knowledge into action.
Review: Previewing–Enables the learner to get the big picture before turning attention to details. (importance) Naming–Puts content into the learner’s own words in a form that makes sense— note-taking. (differences) Connecting–Sorts things into groups that are related. (similarities) Self-Checking–Provides a recap; summarizes before moving forward. (understanding) Applying–Puts knowledge into action. (practice) Applying: Learning usually begins by taking things in, but sooner or later it shifts to output, production or applying. Applying is the Mindframe that constructs or builds meaning. Applying is the Mindframe that involves acting on new ideas and information. Applying occurs during the Performance Phase of teaching. 61
62
The learner uses what has been learned to practice and solve problems.
Applying is also referred to as Guided Practice, which means the teacher will be the Guide-on-the-Side as the student applies practice to a specific area. One of the thoughts behind offering the page number reference is students that have difficulty in the learning process might attempt to look for the answer, but when they can’t find it right away, they give up. Salon Fundamentals has taken the roadblocks away and emphasized the actual learning process. Learning does not happen by effort in the finding or locating, but in the transforming. So, if someone says you are making it too easy…learning should be a struggle, your answer can be: Learning should not include a goose chase for answers…learning requires curiosity, interest, confidence and freedom of boundaries. 62
63
To bring together different knowledge and skill
Why? To bring together different knowledge and skill When? Following the self-checking and question and answer phase of teaching Many times you hear people say “If I can just do it, I will know it.” That statement holds true here, after knowing comes doing – during the Applying Mindframe the student is given the opportunity to practice and combine the knowledge gained with their skill level. Once the student has had an opportunity to apply knowledge to a case study or practical skill they will desire time to talk about obstacles, client satisfaction and “what if” sessions. Applying provides learners with summaries of important content for use in discussion and Applying brings new questions from students. This means that teachers need to present an interactive lecture, ask questions, affirm understanding and then present the applying or guided practice sessions to support learner performance. Many teachers see the advantage of using the Applying Mindframe for practicing the skills but lack an understanding of how important it is to have practice sessions for applying knowledge (theory). Remind participants it is just as important to provide time for applying conceptual (theory) skills to deepen meaning. Examples include Learning Connections, “Talking Points,” problem solving sessions, etc. How? Independently in guided workshops followed by cooperative groups for discussion 63
64
Rubrics: Gauge the student’s level of performance
Compare skill level to industry standards Identify 3 levels of accomplishment: In progress Getting better Entry-level proficiency There are 78 practical procedures presented in the entire Salon Fundamentals program. Each procedure has an associated Rubric that is a measuring device used to determine performance. The Cosmetology program has 43 Rubrics. The Esthetics program has 13 Rubrics. The Nail program has 22 Rubrics. 64
65
Step-by-Step Procedures with Rubrics
Rubrics are performance measurement checklists that can be used to assess student performance or to guide practical work. Rubrics can be used to direct application, guide self-checking and/or as a final teacher-led assessment. Companion Rubrics are found in the Study Guide. Masters for each Rubric can be found in the teacher support material and on the teacher CD-ROM disc for duplication. Each Rubric includes three components: preparation, the procedural steps and the completion. Direct participants to view Rubrics by turning to the following pages: Cosmetology, page 204, Solid Form Haircut Esthetics, page 305, Basic Facials Nails, page 205, Basic Manicure Discuss that suggestions for timing for each procedure are presented in the Teacher’s Support Material and the final decision is left to them to determine the role they want time to play in scoring the Rubric. It is recommended that in the beginning, or when the student is first learning, time is included with every line item entry. Then as the student progresses, an expected time is given that matches the salon expectancy. Remind participants that Pivot Point’s high quality photography brings clear definition to the procedures displayed within the textbooks. 65
66
Activities that allow the learner to:
Talk about what they know “Talking Points” in the Study Guide Be creative and expressive “Show You Know” in the Study Guide Think in more complex ways “Knowledge Grid” in the Study Guide Applying means that the student is given time to talk about what they know, be creative and expressive and think in more complex ways. To help the student do just that, the Study Guide contains “Talking Points,” “Show You Know” exercises and in the Esthetics and Nails programs a “Knowledge Grid” exercise that helps students think in more complex ways from knowledge-based questions to evaluation-type questions. 66
67
Talking Points Direct attention to the “Talking Points” listed below. Explain that providing time for the learner to speak up about the topic they are learning is one of the most effective methods for building long-term retention. Examples: Cosmetology, page 125 Esthetics, page 389 Nails, page 80 67
68
Show You Know In this example, students are asked to create three posters. One poster about microbiology, another about infection control and a third poster on first aid. Direct participants to additional examples of “Show You Know” exercises on the following pages: Cosmetology, page 41 Esthetics, page 114 Nails, page 79 (on the screen) or page 261 Explain that each chapter has a “Show You Know” exercise and these exercises generally follow “The Challenge.” 68
69
Knowledge Grid In the Esthetics and Nails programs the “Knowledge Grid” serves as an Applying exercise. The “Knowledge Grid” is a series of questions designed to move from knowledge to comprehension to application, and in some cases analysis, synthesis and evaluation questions are also presented. The goal of the “Knowledge Grid” is to increase the student’s ability to think in different ways about the topics being learned. The “Knowledge Grid” uses Bloom’s Taxonomy as an underpinning and asks the student to move beyond just knowing and comprehending. If time permits, ask participants to complete the apply question found on the screen copy. Answers could include: smiling, nodding, shaking hands, arms crossed over the chest, leaning forward, slouching, frowning, winking, thumbs up and placing a hand over the heart. 69

Sends the signal to the brain that the coast is clear to take on new challenges.
Review: Previewing–Enables the learner to get the big picture before turning attention to details. (importance) Naming–Puts content into the learner’s own words in a form that makes sense— note-taking. (differences) Connecting–Sorts things into groups that are related. (similarities) Self-Checking–Provides a recap; summarizes before moving forward. (understanding) Applying–Puts knowledge into action. (practice) Self-Testing–Sends the signal to the brain that the coast is clear to take on new challenges. (evidence) Self-Testing: Learning involves self-regulation and practice. Self-testing is the Mindframe that gives real evidence that we know and can use what we are learning to create higher levels of understanding. Self-testing is part of the Performance Phase of the Mindful Teaching program. 70
71
Deepens understanding.
Provides practice of the actual test event and an opportunity to practice doing it right. Deepens understanding. The Study Guide offers a component in each chapter called the “Brain Conditioner.” This exam is a mock test prior to the actual chapter test. Ask each participant to turn to page 322 to view the “Brain Conditioner” found in Chapter 10 of the Study Guide. This is the second of pre-tests that the student would take before the final test. (“The Challenge” is the first test.) 71
72
To prompt students to take responsibility for their own learning
Why? To prompt students to take responsibility for their own learning When? Throughout the learning process but particularly crucial before formal assessment Self-testing directs students based on evidence of performance. Students need evidence or proof of learning to show themselves and the teacher where they are in the process of learning in comparison to where they want to go or need to be at a certain time. Self-testing offers a warm-up, a dress rehearsal for whatever test awaits the learner. Provides the learner with informative feedback to show their present level of understanding. Self-testing is generally used following the presentation of a chapter or grouping of key material. Self-checking is referred to as “on-the-way” grading while self-testing is called “at-the-gate” grading. Students can prepare and complete the “Brain Conditioner” or other developed testing by the teacher in all or one of the methods mentioned on the slide. How? In pairs, in small groups, in whole group or individually 72
73
Brain Conditioner Quite often teachers ask if they should assign a grade to the “Brain Conditioner.” It is totally up to each teacher to make this decision. Some teachers use it to score effort and it equals a portion of a total grade; some issue a score just for the completion, some teachers offer weighting to each component within the Study Guide and then assign a portion of the total score to the completed work. Answers to the “Brain Conditioner” can be found in the teacher’s version of the Study Guide, which is a companion to the Teacher’s Support Material. Practicing of the actual test event teaches learners many valuable learning prompts such as how to: Relax enough to deal with test anxiety Skip hard questions until later Space energy and brainpower over the entire test so there is as much energy at the end of the test as at the beginning Avoid discouragement if every answer is not known Read each question calmly and understand what it is asking Stay in a flow state (a positive place) as long as possible 73
74
Makes true learning a deeply personal experience.
Previewing–Enables the learner to get the big picture before turning attention to details. (importance) Naming–Puts content into the learner’s own words in a form that makes sense— note-taking. (differences) Connecting–Sorts things into groups that are related. (similarities) Self-Checking–Provides a recap; summarizes before moving forward. (understanding) Applying–Puts knowledge into action. (practice) Self-Testing–Sends the signal to the brain that the coast is clear to take on new challenges. (evidence) Journaling–Makes learning a deeply personal experience. (insight) During the Transfer Phase of learning the student is asked to make connections with their newly gained knowledge and their personal life. 74
75
Learners need a record of their feelings regarding the topic as well as their thinking.
Learners need validation that what they learned can be used in the real world. Journaling is the Mindframe that puts learning in a personal perspective. 75
76
Journaling acknowledges that learning changes our lives
Why? Journaling acknowledges that learning changes our lives When? Provide different opportunities for learners to act on ideas and then reflect upon what happened How? Individually and in cooperative learning groups 76
77
Notes to Myself In the section titled “Notes to Myself” at the end of each chapter, a reflection-type question is posed that can be discussed by students in pairs or groups of 4 to 6 or answered independently. 77

This provides a hierarchy of knowledge for the student to organize while he or she learns. The same kind of organization can be found in the corresponding Study Guide chapter. Chapter 3 also features numerous charts and boxes meant to call out important information, which this chapter is chock full of. The second section of Chapter 3 emphasizes infection control. There are a number of various step-by-step procedures related to safety practices and infection control. Point out the handwashing procedure found on page 61. Each descriptive step is accompanied by its own photo. The three topics of infection control (sanitation, disinfection and sterilization) are organized neatly in numerical format, as well as sample copies of health and safety documents for students to inspect such as the Material Safety Data Sheet on page 63. The last section of the chapter involves first aid, and it features official material by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health on proper use of ventilation and dispenser bottles in the salon. Direct educators to page 52 of the Nails Study Guide; illustrations are provided to serve as visual hints, and yellow boxes serving as “Helpful Hints” are also provided throughout for more technical or difficult chapters to guide learning. This particular one doles out some hints on remembering the types of pathogenic bacteria. The TSM also brings up some helpful word associations the teacher can emphasize in the classroom.
