I think the portfolio is a very useful aid. This is a great opportunity to display our talents. The work that we provide indicates our professional experience. In the future, this can be used to further our career. I am hoping to keep mine as up to date as possible.
My students do something similar to our portfolio. Their portfolio s a paper based with pictures. The students begin working on this at the begining of the semester of Advanced Skin and Nail. The portfolio is turned into me one week before finals. I require 12-15 hair styles, a resume, reference sheet, questions for potential employer and a picture of the ideal outfit. Then the students will have a complete portfolio when they begin seeking a job. In this industry pictures say a thousand words.
Hi Aimee,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I think having your students to create their own portfolio is a great idea. One thing about the subject we teach gives us an opportunity to reach our students in many ways. This is just another way of preparing our students for the real world. Most students are looking for ways to showcase their skills and talent and this is a great way to expose them to different avenues that will help their careers.
