Integrating FCCLA into Your Classroom

Why Integrate Enrich student learning and improve

self-esteem Involves all FCS students Provides opportunities to implement and

assess student mastery of the FCS national standards

Revitalize teaching and learning. Reduces scheduling and time conflicts

Using National Programs What are the National Programs? National Standards link to FCCLA Integrating National Programs

How do I integrate FCCLA into my FACS classes? Explore FCCLA Programs to see which

ones can be used as activities in existing classes. Examples: A Student Body project might be

incorporated into a Health or Foods class. Power of One module “Family Ties” works

well with Family Relations. Might use the STAR Event “Job Interview”

as an assignment in Personal Finance and then take the best on to compete.

How do I integrate FCCLA into my FACS classes? Many National Programs can be

incorporated into Leadership Classes. Step One After units on FCCLA, team building, the

planning process and goal setting, have students chose a national program and develop a project around it. After reviewing their plans, have they carry out the project. Could also develop a Parliamentary Procedure team for STAR Events.

How do I integrate FCCLA into my FACS classes? Another method of Integrating is to

create mini chapters in each class with a couple of officers. The class may raise money to pay the dues of the entire class.

Remember, some National Programs can also be used as STAR Event projects.
