Fashion Design: Designing a Learner-Active, Multi-Level High School Course
Nelson, Diane
Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, v101 n1 p51-52 2009
A high school fashion design teacher has much in common with the ringmaster of a three-ring circus. The challenges of teaching a hands-on course are to facilitate the entire class and to meet the needs of individual students. When teaching family and consumer sciences, the goal is to have a learner-active classroom. Revamping the high school's fashion design course had to be done in concert with addressing the challenges of an active classroom. This article discusses how to design a learner-active, multi-level high school fashion design course. (Contains 4 resources.)
