This curriculum guide is designed for use by consumer home economics teachers as a resource in planning and teaching the year-long course in interior design and housing for students in grades 9-12. Introductory materials include general planning information (course overview and description) and information on using the competency listing, competency/test-item bank, and references and resources. A list of the competency statements and a content outline are also provided. These 10 units of instruction are given: planning for the interior of the home; design in the home; furnishing the interior; maintaining a home environment; careers in interior design; geographic and societal influences on family housing; selecting a place to live; comfort, conservation, and safety; exterior construction; and careers in housing.
