Common Core of Learning encompasses the standards expected of public secondary school graduates in Connecticut. These standards include employment, education, and life skills. A group of occupational home economics educators identified the Common Core components included in this curriculum. This guide provides an overview of selected student objectives attained after completing coursework and satisfies the components of the Common Core. Teachers may use this format to relate their curriculum to the Common Core. This guide is divided into three sections: (1) three major divisions of the Common Core--attributes and attitudes, skills and competencies, and understandings and applications; (2) sample student competencies found in the occupational home economics curriculum; and (3) degree of focus that should be placed upon a specific element under each of the subheadings by occupational home economics content area, with either a major, moderate, minor, or no traditional focus. Occupational home economics includes child care services, food service, and homemaker/home management areas. (NLA)
