Family and Consumer Sciences Delivers Middle School Multicultural Education
Clauss, Barbara A.
Middle School Journal (J3), v37 n4 p17-24 Mar 2006
In this article, the author talks about valuing individual and group differences and knowing how to interact effectively with a variety of people in school through multicultural education in a middle school family and consumer sciences setting. Here, she answers the questions: (1) Why multicultural education? (2) Why middle school? and (3) Why family and consumer sciences? She discusses the standards of Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS), as well as four primary processes that undergird FACS education, namely: (1) thinking; (2) communication; (3) leadership; and (4) management. She also discusses FACS teaching strategies. (Contains 1 figure.)
