Quick Summary / Abstract:

|
Background:
|
The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD) is committed to developing courses that provide students with a wide-range of opportunities to prepare students to “contribute and thrive in a changing world.” Our Board of Education encourages creating new courses and updating courses that are engaging to our students and prepare them for success in the 21st Century.
Our high school teachers regularly review course offerings to ensure content reflects current standards and is relevant and applicable. Based on our strong commitment to engage all learners, the following updated course is being proposed in Electives.

Status
:
|
As we strive to remain competitive in meeting student and parent requests for rigorous college preparatory coursework, career technical education, and elective opportunities that will prepare students for multiple options beyond high school, we collaborate closely with high school teachers and administrators to keep our courses current and updated course prepared for Board approval.
In an effort to continue to ensure content reflects current standards and is relevant and applicable, the following new course is being presented for consideration and approval.
Updated Course: Yearbook
This is a project-based course that will culminate in a professionally published annual yearbook that describes the “student experience” of an LVJUSD High School's student body. Students will learn the basics of photography, journalism, page design, and marketing and use those skills to design, promote, and sell their published product. Because this course is deadline driven students will have required participation outside of regular class hours. Through the course students will act as employees of a book packaging company, working with a publisher, adhering to publishing deadlines and project budgets. Students will learn publishing technology that will ensure the quality of their annual meets industry standards.
