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.
