Lesson Planning
Armed with a thoughtfully conceived lesson plan, the teacher is without question the most valuable asset to the
school in which he or she teaches. Without it, no matter how broad the teacher’s knowledge of the subject or
how engaging his or her platform style, efficiency as an instructor is seriously hampered.
“But I know exactly what I want to do,” the teacher may argue. “Why go through the bother of writing it
down?” So does the builder know what he wants to do when he sets about erecting an apartment house or a
supermarket. But he would not dream of starting to build his structure without first checking an architectural
blueprint.
In very much the same way, the lesson plan is a blueprint of the teaching-learning situation. It contains important guidelines and details which should not be trusted to memory. For example, it helps direct all activities
toward the achievement of specific goals. It suggests new approaches for using instructional materials and
makes the teacher extremely sensitive to sequential form (the order in which the lesson is developed), a factor of
great importance in effective teaching. To some, especially to the beginning teacher, the greatest value of the lesson plan is the feelings of self-confidence and well-being it gives, for it helps the teacher face a group of students
fully prepared to give the lesson.
SOME CONSIDERATIONS IN PLANNING A LESSON
Before starting to outline the lesson plan, the experienced teacher keeps several important things in mind. One is
continuity. Because we know that learning is most rapid when built on a foundation of acquired knowledge, the
teacher evaluates carefully the previous day’s work in order to ensure, where possible, both unity and a smooth
flow of ideas. If learning proceeds from the known to the unknown, as we have been told by a great many educators, the trick is to start the students on familiar ground and from there lead them to new areas of knowledge.
Timing is another essential ingredient of the well-planned lesson. Nothing is more frustrating to a teacher than
to discover in the middle of a lesson presentation that time has run out. Loose ends often remain neglected and
important objectives postponed.
Enough cannot be said for the value of student involvement in the lesson presentation. The temptation to dominate a captive audience for the better part of an hour is irresistible for most teachers. The better ones guard
against it. They are able to involve the student in the lesson, which makes the lesson interesting and exciting.
Students welcome the opportunity to become involved in the lesson and are better motivated to learn.
Next in importance is the knack of making each lesson concrete. This is where the picture that speaks louder
than a thousand words comes in. The conscientious teacher searches memory, texts, and files for models, charts,
graphs, slides, films—anything that will help to illustrate a point or develop a concept with graphic clarity.
A SAMPLE DAILY LESSON PLAN
Bearing these thoughts in mind, let us glance briefly at the major ideas of a lesson plan, then observe how they
function in a typical plan to be designed and used by instructors. Lesson plans come in many forms, but the better ones have a number of elements in common. Generally, they are (1) a statement of purposes or objectives,
(2) provisions for building interest and readiness, (3) a lesson outline section, (4) a summary and evaluation,
and (5) a list of instructional materials to be used in the lesson. These elements make up the format for the
preparation of the successful lesson plan. Here is how we use them in our planning.

Lesson Plans for Milady’s Standard Textbook for Professional Estheticians

Objectives
A. The student will know the rules of correct telephone techniques.
B. The student will be able to use the rules of correct telephone techniques.
Building Interest and Readiness—10 Minutes
Open lesson with an introductory discussion that draws upon student experiences for examples of
good and bad telephone techniques. Present test questions:
1. Has anyone here ever been rudely treated over a telephone?
2. Let’s see the hands of those who have been guilty of the same practice.
Lesson Outline—40 Minutes
A. Continue with brief discussion of points listed below:
1. Courtesy, the first consideration.
2. Good telephone usage.
3. Planning your telephone conversation.
4. Effective telephone techniques.
5. Rules of good telephone usage.
6. What every good receptionist should know:
a. Quality of each operator’s work.
b. Kinds of services and products.
c. Thorough knowledge of prices.
B. Present orally two sample problems. Draw from students’ tentative solutions that reflect the
guidelines appearing beneath each problem.
Problem 1: Miss Smith, an established patron, wishes an appointment with Paul on Friday.
No other day will do, but Paul is already heavily booked.
Guidelines for discussion:
1. Making appointment with equally capable esthetician.
2. Calling client in case of cancellation.
3. Juggling appointments as a last resort. Give illustration on chalkboard diagram prepared
in advance.
Problem 2: Mrs. Anderson, a new client, wants to know the price of a facial and the time it
takes to give it.
Guidelines for discussion:
1. Explaining personalized consultation.
2. Giving only approximation of time and cost.
3. Informing client of expert esthetician on staff.
4. Persuading client to make appointment now.
C. Adjusting complaints by telephone—suggested guidelines:
1. Allowing client to tell his or her side of story.
2. Adopting a friendly, sympathetic attitude.
3. Inviting client to talk to manager about adjustment.
D. Play to class a five-minute taped skit of a problem created and solved by a previous class.
Form class into several committees, each to invent and solve a problem similar to the one
discussed, which will be taped on the following day.
Summary—5 Minutes
Summarize lesson with recap of main points which should be included in proposed skits:
A. Examples of courtesy and rudeness.
B. Sample solutions to problems and booking.
C. Examples of how to soothe an irate client.
Evaluation—5 Minutes
Ask questions to test students’ understanding of lesson.
Materials and Resources
A. Milady’s Standard Textbook for Professional Estheticians, Milady Publishing Company.
B. 35mm slides: “Telephone Techniques for the Beauty Salon.”
C. Tape recorder and taped skit.
Objectives
Obviously, the first thoughts in planning must turn to what is expected to be accomplished in the
allotted time. In general, the stated objectives for the lesson should be few in number, short, and to
the point. Also, they must determine all that follows in the plan. A careful inspection of the sample
plan reveals that the ideas in it are closely knit, with a minimum of digression. Objectives are the
pivot around which every learning activity must revolve. Anything that fails to clarify them, to enrich
them, or in some way to advance their achievement should be omitted.
A vast number of studies have been carried out demonstrating the remarkable influence of motivation in the learning process. In view of this overwhelming evidence, the resourceful instructor deliberately sets out to capture the interest of his or her students without delay. The teacher is not unlike
the fiction writer who must either capture his reader within the first paragraph or two of his story or
find himself without an audience.
The simple approach is to make a strong statement outlining a benefit to be derived from achieving a
lesson’s objectives. Another approach is to elicit student experiences that tend to show the benefits of
the lesson’s objectives.
Lesson Outline
Lesson Planning
Building Interest and Readiness (Motivation)
The lesson outline section of the lesson plan usually carries the major workload. As the sample plan
is studied, close attention should be paid to the logical ordering of ideas or sequential form. The
whole picture is spread out before the teacher. If there is something in it the instructor does not like,
it can be changed.
It is indeed important that cosmetology teachers stress the importance of adopting a cheerful attitude
toward patrons and actually practicing the many ways this can be done. Developing a lesson plan in
which students actually experience the truth of this fact through direct observation of good and bad
practices, through listening to a dynamic guest speaker, or through role playing or dramatization creates a learning situation that is both constructive and meaningful.
Summary and Evaluation
Somewhere near the end of the learning period, usually during the last five or ten minutes, the
teacher should wrap up the lesson with a few concluding statements so that loose ends are tucked
neatly into place and major ideas and skills are firmly impressed upon the students’ minds. This is
done by quickly reviewing the high points of the lesson, by using a summary statement, and by asking key questions. It is also a time for giving out assignments.
Lesson Plans Should Be Personalized
A lesson plan is a very personal thing. As a result, this set of proposed lesson plans should undergo
many changes as you use them. Teaching talents and techniques vary tremendously from individual
to individual. Some instructors are great lecturers and therefore a large part of their presentations is
verbal. Others can illustrate effectively and enjoy using the chalkboard. Still others are mechanically
inclined and may choose to work with a wide variety of audiovisual aids.
Your job is clear. Employ your best talents by adjusting these lesson plans to conform with the way
in which you know you can accomplish the greatest amount of learning by your students. Look upon
these plans as a guide to help you develop your own lesson plans, those that are right for you.
A well-prepared teacher has a set of lecture notes in addition to lesson plans for each lesson. They
should contain not only the outline to be presented to the student via the chalkboard, but also all the
items the teacher wishes to present verbally. The richer the background material, the better prepared
the student will be to absorb the material.
Students often present items of interest that the teacher can quickly and easily incorporate into his or
her lecture notes. This process helps the teacher personalize the lesson presentation and thus make it
of interest to future students.

MOTIVATION TO BE EMPLOYED:
A pleasing personality and manner of speaking are keys to a successful career as a professional
esthetician. Without these assets, good workmanship may be overlooked and business may suffer.
Attitude has a great deal to do with personality and smooth relationships with others. Attitude
influences your likes and dislikes, and your response to people, events, and things. People develop
their personalities according to the way they meet everyday problems. Both the good and the bad
situations that affect peoples’ lives can be used to strengthen their personalities.

MOTIVATION TO BE EMPLOYED:
The circulatory or vascular system is vitally related to the maintenance of the health of the entire
body. The heart is the efficient pump that keeps the blood circulating throughout the body. The body
obtains its nourishment from the bloodstream, which is nourished by the food we eat, the liquids we
drink, and the air we breathe. The health of the skin, hair, and nails is directly related to the
nourishment the body receives. Therefore, the esthetician must be aware of the importance of the diet
to the health of the client’s skin.

Most salons also carry a line of products to be sold to clients. It is important to advise the client
about products that are formulated for his or her skin, and products that can be used effectively at
home between visits to the salon. The client should not be subjected to “hard sell” techniques, but
should be encouraged to return to the salon for products as they are needed. The esthetician should
answer the client’s questions with tact and avoid making exaggerated claims for facial treatments or
products.

MOTIVATION TO BE EMPLOYED:
In order for the esthetician to help clients with the selection of makeup, it is important to be aware
of the differences in skin color and undertones. Some makeup tends to change color on certain skins,
and it will take concentration and practice to develop a keen eye for the range of cosmetic colors that
flatter skin colors. The client’s personal taste, way of life, and age must also be considered when
selecting makeup colors.

SUMMARY STATEMENTS (Conclusions):
Although most women wear basic makeup for everyday, there are times when they may wish to
include contouring and corrective makeup. The client will tend to buy more makeup and grooming
products after she has seen positive results of their use. Makeup can emphasize good features while
diminishing those that are less attractive. A good makeup artist soon becomes a popular asset to the

look. A great many women do not realize the improvement artificial eyelashes can make in the
beauty of their eyes. For this reason, it is worthwhile to suggest lash application as part of the client’s
makeup. Once the client is pleased with the improvement the lashes make, she may become a regular
user. This means extra income for the salon in sales and services.

MOTIVATION TO BE EMPLOYED:
The client will come to your salon for advice about her makeup and skin care needs. She may be
hanging on to outmoded styles and colors in makeup, and you will need to be tactful when
suggesting changes. However, the client will usually allow you to design a new look for her and if she
likes the makeup she will do her makeup at home. A woman’s age, way of life, personality, facial
features, personal coloring, and taste must all be taken into consideration when designing a makeup
that is appropriate and flattering at the same time.
Note: Never apply makeup styles or use garish makeup colors just because they are the latest fashion fads.

SUMMARY STATEMENTS (Conclusions):
Keep in mind as you progress as a makeup artist that all artists do not follow the same routine for
applying makeup, nor do they use the same products. The most successful makeup artists are those
who use creative imagination in making each client look her very best. Your main goal is to work
efficiently and with confidence in your ability. A beautiful makeup assures more product sales for the
salon, more prestige for you, and satisfaction for the client.
