More Information
Summary:The Standards for Vocational Home Economics Education were developed to maintain quality and to encourage excellence in vocational home economics education programs at all educational levels among the states and territories of the United States. The Standards are designed to be used by teachers, local supervisors, teacher educators, state staffs, administrators, and others interested in and concerned with developing and/or improving vocational home economics education programs. In the Standards, special attention is given to the following areas: integration of Future Homemakers of America into the home economics program; elimination of sex bias; accesibility of vocational home economics programs to all persons; development of outreach programs; and consideration of energy, nutrition, and consumer economics. In addition, special populations (the disabled, persons from various cultures, the economically disadvantaged, and single and school-age parents) are emphasized. Standards were developed for seven major areas: philosophy, advisory council, funding, administrative/supervisory staff, instructional staff, instructional program, and curriculum. Nine sets of standards (see note) cover these topics in either consumer and homemaking education or occupational home economics on various educational levels. Each set of Standards contains an explanatory handbook and the Standards for that level. This document covers middle/junior high consumer and homemaking education. (KC)
