Screen Printing Curriculum

This project was particularly enjoyable for me because it combined my love for Screen Printing with the ability to develop a hands-on curriculum that accomplished specific objectives. The tabular format of the form seen below prompted me through the process of delineating what the objective was, what the student would know and be able to do as a result of the lesson, and to flesh out how the instructor would assess I was originally an Art Education Major in college with the intent to teach.

Life intervened and I ended up first becoming a Tool & Die Maker and second obtaining a Bachelors degree in Management. Later, as a trainer and instructional designer, I utilized my artistic background as well as years of training apprentices to develop and deliver instructional content that were effective. However, my exposure to learning theory, and teaching methods in the University of Arkansas teaching program has given me the ability to develop theory based curriculum that are more effective.
