Family/Consumer Sciences: Teaching

One common question from FACS: Teaching majors:

How can I find out how Family And Consumer Sciences (FACS) standards and Illinois State Board Education (ISBE) standards for high school students align.

Below are the best website connections. Remember that FACS standards fit with the Illinois Learning Standards even though there is not a category for FACS in the ILS book (or on their website). FACS Teachers are interdisciplinary and content is often cross listed in other areas.
