Thepurpose of the series is to provide school administrators and teachers with a source of information whichcan be used to establish, expand, or evaluate instructional programs related to the broad field of fashion. The Fashion Industry Program Series includes five separate guides. Career Explo- ration in the Fashion Industry Series No. 1 presents an introduction to the different segments of the fashion field and a suggested career exploration program. Apparel De- sign and Production Series No. 2, Textile Design Series No. 3, Fashion Merchandis- ing Series No. 4, and Dry Cleaning and Laundering Series No. 5, are suggested job- preparatory (skill development) program guides. These job-preparatory guides are con- ceived to provide youth and adults with intensive preparation for initial entry employ- ment and career advancement opportunities within specific categories of jobs in the fashion industry. In developing the job-preparatory guides, consideration was given to the structuring of objectives, content, and learning experiences in terms of the varying' competencies considered essential for different levels of employment responsibility, thereby facilitating the adoption of performance-based instruction within a variety of institutional settings. The outcomes of such instruction are identified with immediate employment or continu- ing higher education. This Textile Design guide provides an overview of the textile design field, occupa- tional opportunities, and competencies required of workers. It contains outlines of areas of instruction which include objectives to be achieved, teaching content and suggestions for learning experience, evaluation, teaching resources, and instructional supplies. Sug- gested equipment and approximate costs are included as well as a bibliography and a list of representative track associations. Other program considerations and services judged to be important to this job-preparatory program are also presented. All of the guides were developed by faculty specialists of the Fashion Institute of Technology pursuant to a grant from the U.S. Office of Education to the Institute. This guide was prepared by Miriam Russo, Associate Protessor and Chairman of the Textile Design department. Miriam Fredenthal, Assistant Professor of Textile Design prepared the areas of instruction in Woven Design; W. Parrish-Martin, Assistant Pro- fessor of Textile Design contributed the Screen Printing Design instructional areas; and George Gati, Adjunct instructor of Textile Design developed the Knit Design instruc- tional areas. Lorraine Har, Assistant Chairman and Professor of Textile Design co- ordinated the suggested equipment and supplies. The development of the guides was under the direction of William Berndt, Project Officer, and Mary Lee Hurt and Edwin L. Nelson, Education Program Specialists in the U.S. Office of Education. Many useful suggestions were received from industry and educational consultants, and from administrators and teachers of existing programs. Although all suggestions could not be incorporated, each was carefully considered in terms of the publication's intended use. In view of this, it should not be inferred that the program suggestions are completely endorsed by any one institution, agency, or person. The program suggestions contained in this guide should be viewed as resource in- formation which can be modified and adapted by administrators and teachers to meet local, State, and regional needs.
