Under the Idaho state system for curriculum development in vocational education, Technical Committees made up solely of industry personnel are responsible for drawing up task lists for each program. A Technical Committee Report is prepared on completion of the Committee's assignment. This report presents a task list that reflects current trends and the skills necessary to obtain and retain a job in the printing/graphic arts technology industry and to advance in the occupational field. An introduction describes the curriculum development process. The curriculum framework that follows provides the program area, program title, Idaho code number, Classification of Instructional Programs code number, major concepts/content, laboratory activities, special note(s), intended outcomes, and levels of instruction codes. The task list groups 157 occupational skills or tasks by the following 12 modules: demonstrate proficiency in performing employability skills and habits; demonstrate knowledge of introductory aspects of the printing industry; demonstrate proficiency in performing skills relating to paper characteristics; perform estimating operations; perform graphic design operations; perform line photography operations; perform graphic arts halftone operations; perform color reproduction operations; perform stripping operations; perform proofing and platemaking operations; perform offset press operations; and demonstrate proficiency in performing finishing/binding operations.
