Teachers of Bee Jay's Hair Styling Academy teach by lecturing, demonstrating, and having students perform under their supervision. Students do not learn a skill when the teacher performs the skill for them. Therefore, all work on the clinic floor is done by the students, with the guidance and supervision of highly skilled and trained teachers.
The teachers formalize the course of instruction through the medium of careful occupational analysis, and seek to include all the necessary skills and information needed for success in the training of students.
