The organization’s ties to curricula:
FCCLA students plan, carry out, and evaluate projects
and activities that achieve leadership development and
success. The “end products” (portfolios, project reports,
recognition) offer relevant and authentic means
to assess student learning. FCCLA is an integral part of
the Family and Consumer Sciences education program.
In local schools, chapter projects and activities
stem from and enhance Family and Consumer Sciences
programs of study. FCCLA chapters give students
extended learning opportunities for knowledge
application, leadership training, community involvement,
and personal growth. FCCLA offers a variety
of national programs to guide and motivate students as
they develop projects of relevance and results.
