Reagan High School



Reagan High School

Family and Consumer Sciences Department

School Year 2014-2015

Course: Apparel and Textile Production 1 & Apparel and Textile Production 2

Teacher: Mrs. Derouin

Room: 303

Lecture & Lab Course: Monday - Friday

Course Description:

Apparel and Textile Production 1: Examines clothing production in the areas of preparation for clothing construction, basic clothing construction techniques, consumer decisions, textiles, historical perspectives and design, and career opportunities. Emphasis is placed on students applying these construction and design skills to apparel and home fashion. Skills in art, communication, mathematics, science, and technology are reinforced in this course.

Apparel and Textile Production 2: Focuses on advanced clothing and housing apparel and applying learning to the modern world of work in the apparel industry. The curriculum provides students with direction and resources to learn about design and construction techniques in combination with knowledge of fibers and fabrics. A real or simulated entrepreneurial activity provides students with the opportunity to apply instructional strategies to an authentic experience.

Both of these courses are designed to provide essential skills in the Commercial and Artistic Production Technologies and the Engineering and Manufacturing career pathways. The student’s interest may be either for practical application or for career development. Work-based learning strategies appropriate for this course include field trips, job shadowing, and services learning. FCCLA leadership activities provide the opportunity to apply instructional competencies and workplace readiness skills to authentic experiences.

Grading Policy & Scale:

Major tests will be administered after the units are completed. Quizzes will be given, both announced and unannounced. Projects and Labs are weighted 50 percent with major Test grades. Semester Exams will be given from the North Carolina State VoCats Test Banks. This course has very demanding labs and projects, in which it is important that all team members be present. In order to lead by example and teach the responsibility of a work ethic that many jobs are requiring today, I have included a work ethic grade to encourage the attendance and participation that is needed for this course. In the Apparel and Fashion Industry it is expected that you are a member of Professional Organizations; such as AAFCS, AATCC, ITAA, etc. FCCLA is recognized as the student level of these organizations.

Meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of every month in Room 306. ** Tests and quizzes MUST be made up within 3 days of returning to class after an absence. If you are unable to make up your test within this time frame, you will receive a zero.**

Room 303 is Going BYOD in 2013!

What is BYOD? You ask… BYOD stands for Bring Your Own Device. Under Additional Supplies you will see a laptop or tablet listed. In November the Winston Salem Forsyth County Schools will open the server system for secured WiFi to be used in classrooms for teachers who have participated in BYOD training. However though it does state device, a handheld device will limit student’s ability for test-taking and Power Point Notes. For these courses a laptop or tablet will be more applicable. Please Note: Limited laptops and desktop computers will be available for student use. This is a trial and test year for this new technology; I am excited to get to experience this with you.

Student Responsibility:

Each student is responsible for reading the syllabus and becoming familiar with the policies and schedule. Although every effort will be made to follow this syllabus closely, it is subject to change. WHEN IN DOUBT REFER TO YOUR STUDENT HANDBOOK. You are responsible for any announcements concerning the course which are made during class, whether or not you are in attendance. If you miss class for any reason, you will need to ask a classmate for any notes written/discussed during your absence. It is the student’s responsibility to check with me before or after class for any missed work AFTER you have spoken to a classmate. Missed work is found in your subject’s file. I will ask for homework assignments at the beginning of class. Unexcused absences are not tolerated; there is no makeup work for unexcused absences. Tardies—It’s not professional and just plain rude! Be on time or accept the consequences! I have an open door policy, but sometimes I may be in a meeting or unavailable. When you need to see me, it is best to set up an appointment to make up work, test, extra help on assignments, or projects. I am always available to help you with work for this course; however I will not “DO” the work for you. **HOMEWORK is only given when necessary and is expected to be turned in at the beginning of class and completed by ALL students! **

ACK! You’ve Missed Class! Now What?

Due to unforeseen reasons, doctor, dentist, or orthodontist appointments, you may miss class. First off, if you are going to be gone several days it is always good to email me at mtderouin@wsfcs.k12.nc.us and give a brief explanation of what is going on and when I can expect you back. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LECTURES AND WORK GIVEN AND COMPLETED DURING YOUR ABSENCE. Check with a fellow classmate to get notes missed & check with me to get the Worksheets the class received during your absence. I will assign a date for your makeup work to be completed; work not completed on time will receive a zero. If you have questions, please feel free to see me after you have spoken to a classmate and I am always available for an appointment. If you know you will be gone for several days in advance, please set up an appointment at least 24 hours before your absence so we can discuss work to be done while you are gone and files and notes you may need. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LECTURES AND WORK GIVEN AND COMPLETED DURING YOUR ABSENCE.

A Job at Mrs. Derouin’s Design Firm.

Every day you are in class, you are on the job. Each day you are present you earn a Work Ethic Point. Lab/Project days carry 2 Work Ethic points per day. FYI: Participation grades for Labs cannot be made up.

What is Work Ethics?

A work ethic is defined as a set of values based on hard work and diligence. A good work ethic includes being reliable, having initiative, or pursuing new skills. Employees exhibiting a good work ethic are often noticed and selected for better positions, more responsibility and ultimately promotion. Employees who fail to exhibit a good work ethic may be regarded as failing to provide fair value for the wage the employer is paying them and often are not promoted or placed in positions of greater responsibility.

The Apparel and Textile Production curriculums have very demanding labs & projects, in which it is important that all you are present. YOU ARE TAKING A PROJECT/LAB HEAVY COURSE. Work Ethic points can be lost or not earned.

Ways to lose or not earn Work Ethic Points:

❖ Being Absent (Participation Grades cannot be made up!)

❖ Tardy to class

❖ ISS (In School Suspension)

❖ OSS (Out of School Suspension)

❖ Issued a D-1 by Mrs. Derouin

❖ Causing Classroom and Lab disruptions

❖ Cell Phone Confiscation

❖ Improper Attire for Class or Lab

❖ Not following Mrs. Derouin’s Expectations

“But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem.” - Steve Jobs

SO BE INNOVATION. Strive to challenge and demand excellence from yourself. I hope for a great semester! I look forward to getting to know you, instructing you, and working with you. M. Derouin
