Developed by
National Association of State Administrators for Family and Consumer
Sciences (NASAFACS)
in partnership with VTECS
PURPOSE
NASAFAC's purpose is to provide a set of curriculum
standards that organize the subject matter and processes of Family and
Consumer Sciences Education, provide a strong and clear conceptualization
of the field, and establish a common direction for program development and
revision at the national, state, and local levels.
SCOPE
National Standards include both academic and
occupational content. The standards are a framework for states to use on a
voluntary basis by choosing areas of study and individual standards that
fit their philosophy and needs.
FORMAT
The FACS National Standards format incorporates
the various state philosophies and blends multiple approaches to standards
and educational delivery systems. The format for areas of study contains:
Comprehensive Standard--describes the overall
area.
Content Standards--relate expectations of the
learner.
Competencies--define knowledge, skills, and
practices.
Academic proficiencies--relate language arts,
mathematics, and science statements to content standards.
Process Questions--guide students in thinking
and reasoning about contextual problems.
Scenario Samples--present authentic life and
work situations in a problem-solving context.
