FCCLA Curriculum Resources
Curriculum Projects with Guidelines and Rubrics
FCCLA has project guidelines and rubrics that fit into many lesson units. They can be used as a large project or can be broken into smaller assignments. The rubrics align with many National and Pennsylvania Standards. These include STAR Events and Skills Demonstrations.
STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition) are competitive events in which members work on proficiency and occupational preparation.
Skills Demonstrations provide opportunities for FCCLA members to demonstrate career-readiness skills. These guidelines and rubrics are only available to affiliated advisers. You will find them on your affiliation portal under Resources in the accordion Competitive Events.

Each National Program comes with a wealth of engaging resources, including lesson plans, activities, and project ideas carefully curated for seamless integration into classrooms. Pennsylvania FCCLA has purchased curriculums through a grant. Contact our state facilitator Mrs. Nadine Standley for more information.

Connect with another FCS teacher through the Pennsylvania FCS Peer Mentor Program. The Goal of the Mentor Partnership is to provide new Family and Consumer Sciences Educators with peer support from experienced Family and Consumer Sciences Educators during the school year.
The FCS Peer Mentor Partnership in Pennsylvania is being coordinated by the Center for Career and Technical Personnel Preparation at IUP along with the PA FCS State Action Team and the National Partnership for Recruiting, Preparing, and Supporting FCS Educators.
