The following excerpt from the Introduction to the FCS  Standards provides an overview of the scope and content that our course covers. At Sandy Run, in addition to the FCS  content, we work diligently to provide cross curricular application of core subject concepts and to promote individual responsibility paired with cooperative behaviors. __= __Introduction to Pa Academic Standards for__ __FCS____:__ “This document includes Academic Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences…with the emphasis on what students will know and be able to do in the following areas: · 11.1. Financial and Resource Management · 11.2. Balancing Family, Work, and Community Responsibility · 11.3. Food Science and Nutrition ·  11.4. Child Development. The focus of the Academic Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences education is the individual, the family and the community. The economic, social and political well-being of our state depends on the well-being of Pennsylvania’s families. The family is responsible for nurturing its members. Family experiences, to a great extent, determine who a person is and what a person becomes. Family and Consumer Sciences, working with Pennsylvania’s families, supports the development of the knowledge and skills that students need as family members both now and in the future. The 21st Century requires students to develop the ability to transform information into knowledge by using standards to certify that this information is meaningful, categorizing it to a purpose and then transforming their knowledge into wisdom by applying it to real life. Family and Consumer Sciences is a discipline composed of strong subject matter concentrations with a commitment to integration. Concepts form a framework for learning based on these tenets: · Families are the fundamental unit of society. · A life-span approach to individual and family development contributes to creating lifelong learners. · Meeting individual and family needs inside and outside the home are shared responsibilities. · Individual, family and community well-being is strengthened through an awareness of diversity. · The use of diverse modes of inquiry strengthens intellectual development. · The content learning in Family and Consumer Sciences classes enhances the mastery of academic standards. <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· Standards-based learning within Family and Consumer Sciences classrooms can best be demonstrated through performance based assessment. Learners in Family and Consumer Sciences nurture themselves and others, taking increased responsibility for improving their quality of living. The Academic Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences are written to empower individuals and families to manage the challenges of living and working in a diverse, global society. These Academic Standards address the functioning of families and their interrelationships with work, community and society. The focus is on the reoccurring, practical problems of individuals and families. An integrative approach is used to help individuals and families identify, create and evaluate goals and alternative solutions to significant problems of everyday life. Students are taught to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. Comprehensive classroom experiences allow students to develop the knowledge and skills needed in making choices to meet their personal, family and work responsibilities.” Pennsylvania Department of Education I have received and read the classroom goals sheet.
