Subject: [Puptcrit] Fashion Design summer teaching job


Putney Student Travel is urgently and immediately seeking candidates for a  
residential summer teaching position in Fashion Design with our Excel  
pre-college program at Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts from June 19 -  July 
21 (a one-week staff orientation is included)

We are looking for a  knowledgeable, dynamic, energetic person who has a 
genuine love of their subject  area and an innate teaching ability.

Candidates should have an excellent academic record and be comfortable  
designing their own college-level curriculum, with a demonstrable aptitude for  
teaching small groups of bright college-bound students in workshop or  
seminar-style format. Formal teaching experience is not required.

Here is  the description of the Fashion Design course:
Fashion Design: In this  introductory course, students learn the basic skills 
of clothing design. They  begin by learning to communicate design concepts in 
clothing with style and  expression, as well as considering the social and 
cultural implications of  fashion. Students will then have the opportunity to 
sketch out the designs of  their own clothes, including patterns, colors, and 
cuts. Students will make of  their designs a reality through a series of 
sequenced projects which the whole  program will admire in a culminating fashion 
show. They will need to commit  extra time outside of class time to finish 
projects. Students may be responsible  for purchasing extra materials for their 
designs.

The positions are demanding, time-consuming, and 100%  residential.

During the program, residential instructors are expected to become involved  
in the campus community, directing and participating in athletic, arts, and  
cultural activities. Experience working with young people in similar 
residential  settings is preferred.  All travel and living expenses are covered while on 
 the program, and instructors receive a competitive salary.

Interested  applicants should immediately contact Patrick Noyes by phone 
(802) 387-5000 or  email patrick-AT-goputney.com  Further information about the Excel 
at Amherst  program is available on our website at www.goputney.com
