Family and Consumer Sciences Program of Study with Complementary Course Standards
The Family and Consumer Sciences program provides instruction in topics which prepare students for adult roles and responsibilities, as well as workplace readiness. This program of study focuses on developing skills for balancing home, work, and life. Students study life, wealth, and home management, family dynamics, nutrition, wellness, and community leadership. This program also offers students a pathway into occupations related to human and social sciences: such as consumer or financial services, home care assistance, food related industries, counseling, social work, and family and consumer sciences professions.
These Standards have been revised to include standards for complementary course(s) and introduce course sequencing after each Performance Indicator which was formerly shown in the Curriculum Frameworks.
The Supplemental Program Resources Document combines information originally found in the Program of Study and Equipment List Documents as well as the Crosswalks that were previously listed at the end of each set of program standards.
