About the Book

Being a Cosmetology teacher for over 25 years, Linda Ingram has written this book for teachers and educators who need every resource available when they are preparing to teach in today's classrooms. Subject knowledge is readily available to teachers but the techniques to help them deal with the student problems, school policies and procedures are many times not provided.

The fundamental principles used in this book will give positive results in any educational program. It provides a source for new as well as seasoned teachers on preparing to teach all types of students. Through short stories resources are given into the insight of situations that may occur in the classroom. The reader is challenged to think about how they would resolve many of the issues facing today's teachers.
