Description
Marcia Gladwin is a holistic therapy specialist at City and Islington College, north London. This film follows her to see how she nurtures and empowers her Level 3 Health and Beauty massage theory class to develop their independent learning skills. She fine-tunes the students to become professional in their thinking about how they will deal with clients in the future. Her mentor, Helen Kent, is Deputy Director for Health and Beauty, and she encourages Marcia to use role-play to further develop these skills in her students. In the following week's lesson the students, working in groups of three as client, therapist and observer, act out a scenario to help them understand how massage effects the emotions. The lesson does not quite go to plan but Marcia cleverly turns it around and it makes it part of the lesson. All are totally engaged!
