This curriculum is based on what students need to know, to be able to do, and to be like in order to be competent in the work of the family. Each of the 12 units follows a uniform format that includes the following: perennial problem (one faced over and over by successive generations of families); practical problem (the organizing scheme for how content is to be selected); learner outcomes (types of learning students could be expected to accomplish; include content and process); supporting concepts (indicate the possible direction for students and teacher to take; major topics or concerns that could be included in the unit); resources used to develop the unit or additional or background information); background information; Kansas Quality Performance Accreditation Student Outcomes; teaching-learning interaction (strategies to use to help students through the practical problem-solving process and apply the process skills); debriefing (questions for students to assist them in summarizing content and process skills); and assessment. Transparency masters and handouts are provided. The 12 units cover the following topics: life management skills for work and family; multiple roles of individuals; work and family issues in the family; work and family issues in the workplace; family and work conflicts; solving family and workplace problems; communication in the home and workplace; household management; child care responsibilities; time management; financial management; and stress management.
