Proposal
Title of Proposal: Text Book Revision for Level-1 Screen Printing and Design
TLC points requested: 10 TLC Points
Proposal Submission Date: May 9, 2007
Proposal Description:
I plan to develop, update and revise the Level-1 Screen Printing and Design Book. There is no book available that covers the curriculum for this particular program, therefore I design and write the book for this class. This “Blue Book” covers each lesson in depth, defines new terms, and explains procedure step by step. I will make changes that reflect modifications to instruction and upgraded software.
Intended Audience: Ella Whitehead
Implementation Timeframe (Beginning and Ending Dates): June 30, 2007 – January 31, 2008
Proposal Facilitator: Ella Whitehead
Work Location: Rancho Bernardo High School

District Goals to be Addressed: Increased access to rigorous curriculum
(This course satisfies the a-g requirements for Visual Arts)
Intended Learning Outcomes:
· Acquire strategies and information regarding modifications to instruction and use of upgraded software
· Explore, analyze and write modifications to teacher written book for Level 1 Screen Printing and Design
· Improve student self-assessment strategies
· Have a finished product to be used by all students which will address different learning modalities and define expectations for successful course completion
Professional Growth Activities – Acquisition of New Learning
As evidence of implementation, each participant is required to maintain a portfolio of
documentation regarding completion of her/his new learning, impact on student
learning and reflection activities. This portfolio will be reviewed by the facilitator
at the end of the TLC. Examples of documentation: time logs, meeting notes,
discussion group notes, lesson plans, student work samples, journals, etc.
State what new learning participant(s) will acquire through this proposal, including the timeline and/or hours anticipated:
Summer of 2007:
· I will study the structure of our upgraded vector and raster programs and will revise all digital directions to reflect changes in the software, including revision of scanning directions to explain procedure when using the new scanner software, and will write and include a section on scanning from laptop computers.
Revised October 1, 2005
· Through reflection on the current version of the “Blue Book,” and observing how students have currently utilized it, I will determine what changes need to be made in terms of chapter organization, and content and make changes to reflect this information.
· Assessment criteria for each project which states what a student must demonstrate to achieve a higher grade will be developed and included
· Suggested computer research sites will have to be validated or removed if no longer active. New sites will be researched and added to take their place.
· Finished product will be printed, bound and ready to be used by all students at the start of the class in the fall 2007

Hours INSIDE the contract day: none
Classroom Implementation Activities
The impact of the newly acquired learning of TLC participants on student learning is critical to this section
State how participant(s) will implement new learning in the classroom, including the timeline and/or hours anticipated:
Teacher will develop and implement several lessons over the course of the semester which utilize strategies and information from the “Blue Book”. Lessons will concentrate on planning and delivering instruction based on new learning incorporated into the book. Monitoring, tracking and analyzing the results of the student work will result in modifying future instruction to increase student success rate in class. These modifications will be included in the next “Blue Book” revision.
Impact on student learning includes:
· demonstrate skill building in Screen Printing and Design through the application and command of the Elements of Art, Principles of Design, and Principles of Perception.
· access information and directions for step intensive projects.
· pass the Screen Printing Safety, Equipment, and Materials Test with 80% or higher
· work independently, at a comfortable pace, to solve creative problems, create digital output, prepare screens, and print original designs.
· create a portfolio of screen printed artwork, reflective self-assessments and work sample summaries, preparatory sketches, digital composites and color separations
· analyze, assess, articulate, and make critical judgments about their own screen printed pieces and other graphic and fine artworks.
Samples of lesson plans and student work will be kept to be submitted with summary reflection page. A copy of the “Blue Book” will be available.
Hours OUTSIDE the contract day: 10 hours
Hours INSIDE the contract day: 20 hours
Reflection Activities
State how participant(s) will reflect on their new learning, including the timeline and/or hours anticipated:
· I will keep a reflective journal which will be referred to in making future modifications to “Blue Book”
· A one page summary of the impact of this TLC on my learning and on the students’ learning will be written
Hours OUTSIDE the contract day: 4 hours
Budget Request
If you anticipate needing fiscal support for the implementation of your proposal, please list prospective needs and estimated costs. TLC will fund up to 50% of site based TLC’s, not to exceed $500. TLC will fund 100% of district wide proposals, not to exceed $500.
· I will pay for printing the “Blue Book” with funds from the Screen Printing and Design Income account.
If you are the facilitator, will you need “facilitator hourly” (if you opt for no points)?
