🗓️ Before Class: Teacher Prep
- Gather/set out: Finished, approved piece from a studio job, Installation materials (tape, mounting hardware, etc., as needed).
- Pull up today's slide deck (see 🖥️ Slide Deck below) so it's ready to project.
- Heads-up -- This is a real client, not a hypothetical one: Treat every request the same way a professional studio would treat a paying client: confirm the brief, communicate proactively, and get sign-off before production. The staff member's satisfaction is part of the grade.
🧑🏫 Substitute Teacher Guide
A scripted, step-by-step runsheet for today's class -- hand this to anyone covering the room who doesn't know the daily routine.
This is a real client, not a hypothetical one
Treat every request the same way a professional studio would treat a paying client: confirm the brief, communicate proactively, and get sign-off before production. The staff member's satisfaction is part of the grade.
🎯 Essential Question
- How do we make sure finished studio work actually reaches where it needs to be used in the school?
📈 Learning Objectives
By the end of this lesson (1 Day), students will be able to:
- Coordinate with the requesting staff member on where and how a finished piece will be installed or used.
- Physically deliver or install a finished piece (hang a poster, hand off a print, publish a video).
- Confirm with the client that the delivered work meets their original need.
📐 Standards Alignment
CDOS (Career Development & Occupational Studies)
- CDOS 2 — Integrated Learning -- students will demonstrate how academic knowledge and skills are applied in the workplace and other settings.
- CDOS 3a — Universal Foundation Skills -- basic literacy, communication, and problem-solving skills required for a career.
- CDOS 3b — Career Majors -- knowledge and skills required for success within a specific career pathway (here, Digital Design).
Industry Standards (CCTC)
- AR-TEL 3-1 — Solve customer problems using information related to customer needs, and select the service or product that meets them.
📚 Key Vocabulary
- Installation
- Physically placing a finished design where it will actually be seen or used.
- Delivery Confirmation
- Verifying with the client that they've received the work and it meets their need.
🧰 Materials & Tools
- Finished, approved piece from a studio job
- Installation materials (tape, mounting hardware, etc., as needed)
🧠 Do Now (Warm-Up)
What could go wrong between a design being 'finished' and it actually being useful to the person who requested it?
📋 Main Workshop / Lesson Sequence
- Do Now (5 min, above): what could go wrong between 'finished' and 'actually useful'?
- Coordinate: confirm with the client exactly where/how the piece should be installed or delivered (10 min).
- Deliver/install: physically install or hand off the finished piece (20 min, varies by job).
- Confirm: check in with the client that the delivered work meets their original need, and log any final notes (10 min).
✅ Assessment & Exit Ticket
Delivery confirmed directly with the requesting client; any final notes logged for the archive.
Exit Ticket: Did the client's original need actually get met? How do you know?
📊 Pull up the anonymous Class Check-In for students to fill out before they go.
🧩 Differentiation & Accommodations
English Language Learners: model every step live, then check in one-on-one; provide translated materials and vocabulary support as needed. Students with IEPs: apply the accommodations and modifications listed in each student's plan (examples include extended time, graphic organizers, speech-to-text tools, chunked instructions, and visual schedules). Students with attention-related needs: break tasks into short, checklist-driven steps and provide brief movement or focus breaks. Students ready for a challenge: take on a leadership role critiquing peers' work, extend the project with a second iteration, or research how today's skill is used professionally in the field.
