WORK
AND FAMILY STUDIES
|
| Work and Family Studies includes
two core areas - personal development and resource management.
In personal development, students learn skills in raising
self esteem, communicating with friends and family, setting
career goals, and handling peer pressure. Parenting skills
are introduced in child development. Students work with preschoolers
for one week during the unit. Our community service project
allows students to plan and carry out a project that benefits
the community and promotes student leadership. Resource management
covers three major units: consumerism and decision making,
clothing care and construction, and foods and nutrition.
Students learn the process of making sound decisions. This
skill is applied to consumer decisions such as buying clothes,
housing choices, and planning a budget for life after high
school. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on career
development activities and integrated technology. Foods and
nutrition addresses the buying and preparing nutritious foods.
Students are in lab twice a week preparing foods such as
cookies, pizza, cultural meals, and salads. A computer analysis
of their diet evaluates their eating habits. This unit also
includes microwave cooking and meal planning. Students participating
in Work and Family Studies will particpate in Family, Career,
and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), a career in technical
youth organization through integrated classroom activities.
