Syllabus for Digital Photography Course?
I am planning to teach an introductory and advanced digital photography class in the spring at the High School and Adult levels. Students will have some cameras (both SLR and “point and shoot) as well as PhotoShop CS available to them. Each course will be for 18 weeks with meetings of 110 minutes every other day.
I need a complete syllabus and course of study outline that should include goals, objectives, activities and performance indicators. A recommended text book and reference material would also be helpful.
I have taught photography for 32 years and wrote the curriculum for traditional photography for the state rubric in 1987. I am a firm believer in uniform “standards” so what students are being taught at one school can used by other schools as a guide to the students abilities. I am asking for specific curriculum, not philosophy here as I everyone has their opinion.
Wow, you’re asking for a lot there. This will involve you taking on the burden of research and analysis.
I was able to track down the links to a syllabus page from my college (SAC). It’s going to take you hours and hours to research it and compile your own, but the following link should prove extremely helpful to you.

I’ve taken many photography and photojournalism courses at San Antonio College, and found them all to be very helpful.
Good luck.
