Competencies in Clothing and Textiles Needed by Beginning Family and Consumer Sciences Teachers.

Cheryl L. Lee

Abstract

A committee of 14 family and consumer sciences (FCS) professionals in North Carolina was formed to review and revise the existing FCS education beginning teacher competencies. Competencies related to clothing and textiles were of particular concern as several appeared to be irrelevant for contemporary FCS programs. The author of this article gathered information for the subcommittee that worked to revise the clothing and textiles competencies. The purpose of this article is to describe the methods and results of that particular endeavor.
