Curriculum Preparation for Adulthood: A Course for High School Seniors. Pennsylvania Cooperative Extension Studies 66, November 1976.
Wiker, Nancy R.
Resulting from a survey of two past graduating classes (1967 and 1972) and teacher involvement, this curriculum guide for seniors in the Pequea Valley School District (a rurally conservative area comprised mainly of an Amish and Mennonite population in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania) constitutes the home economics component of a joint effort on the part of the business, social studies, and home economics departments to develop a course in adult living. Comprising one third of the total time alloted for the course, this home economics component involves the following units: (1) Life Style (2 weeks and 10 periods); (2) Individual and Family Roles (2 weeks and 10 periods); (3) Income Relating to Life Style (3 weeks and 15 periods including: sources of income; spending money; planned buying; financial planning); (4) Facing the Possibility of Children (3 weeks and 15 periods including: the role of parenthood; the child as a family member; child care; quality of family life); (5) The Community (2 weeks and 10 periods). Each unit is presented in tabular form and includes the following: concept to be developed; a generalized assumption; specific objectives; supportive learning; the learning experience, including hand out suggestions, human resource suggestions, activities, etc.; and written resources. Additionally, a bibliography is presented following each unit. (JC)
