What People Are Saying
Overview
Ever wonder where your students might work as the result of your Fashion, Apparel, Textile, and Interior Design instruction? Plan now to learn all about the fashion industry from those who are IN the industry by attending this trip to NYC planned for May 27-29, 2020. The event is being tailored to introduce you to knowledge and technical skills related to the business of fashion–retail design, production management, visual merchandising and costuming as aligned to Family & Consumer Sciences standards and competencies. Go behind the scenes at design houses, analyze the windows of NYC fashion icons and gain real-world experiences you can use in your classroom. Curriculum development discussions (to align your NYC experience to the competencies of Family & Consumer Sciences standards and competencies) will take place continually during this event.
The registration package fee is $1,750.00 and includes 3 nights of shared hotel room accommodations, programming, entrance fees, certain meals, and tour guides, but not travel to and from New York City. Registration is open through May 1, 2020. More details closer to the event to those registering. For Kansas FCS teachers, reserve Perkins Grants of $1,000 are available from Gayla Randel, KSDE Consultant for up to ten (10) classroom FCS teachers.
