Online PrintED Notebook, Upcoming Training


If you are considering PrintED accreditation, you are no doubt wondering, what does a PrintED notebook look like? Well, Paul Foster, a former teacher at Soller Point High School in MD, has put his PrintED notebook online for all to view. Check it out here.

Still a little unsure? Mark your calendar for Jan. 5 from 10:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and join us at PIAG Headquarters for a FREE Teacher Training session with Paul Davis, former graphic arts instructor at DeKalb Tech. Paul has put together curriculum, labs, tests and resources to assist graphic communications teachers with their day-to-day instruction. In addition, many of these resources will assist those working toward PrintED certification.

Discussion covers safety procedures (including much of the information needed for the safety portion of PrintED on a take home CD) and competencies related to introduction to the graphic arts such as type, math, color and print knowledge. Bring a laptop and Paul will also touch on InDesign and give participants materials to take home that tie-in to the upcoming SkillsUSA competition.

To reserve your spot, please email Sue Rodman at suer@piag.org. There is no charge for the session and free parking is available onsite. Lunch is on your own with several fast food and fast casual restaurants within a mile of the facility. Upon completion of the program, we will post as much of the material as possible to the Graphic Communications Network, Georgia Instructors discussion group.
