This instructor guide provides materials for a cosmetology program in the Department of Defense Dependents Schools. While enabling the high school student to pursue a career in cosmetology or related fields, the program offers consumer skills for all students in personal development, hair styling, make-up, and other areas of cosmetology. Introductory materials include the philosophy of cosmetology, organization and numbering code, and use of symbols. The general and program objectives appear next. Instructional objectives are shown with recommended instructional level, including suggested entry point and level at which proficiency would be expected. An organizational pattern for cosmetology precedes course descriptions and time allocations for modeling (grades 7-12), exploratory cosmetology (7-8), basic cosmetology (8-12), and advanced cosmetology (9-12).
