Activity #2
Discussion
 How easy was it to do the tasks that you were
given?
 Would the tasks have been easier to complete if
you were doing it without your partners help?
Why or why not?
 What can this activity teach us about working
together?
 How hard is it to do some things as a group rather
then by yourself?
Discussion
 Do some people work better by themselves
rather then in a group?
 Have you ever bee in a situation where a group
slowed you down?
 How frustrating is it to be slowed down?
 What are some ways when working with a group
that you ca keep from having problems?
 If you become frustrated when working with a
group what can you do to lesson the frustration?
Key Message
 Do not be afraid to work together as a team.
 Work with your state adviser, area advisors, and
chapter advisors to make sure we are on the
same page.
 We need to assure we are on the same page
and make sure expectations are the same so
that we can all be successful.

Classroom Implementation Plan
Chapter Structure
 One Chapter Per Class
Each class functions as a chapter within the classroom,
selecting leaders and conducting projects. Each class
affiliates as a separate chapter.
 One Mini-Chapter Per Class
Each class functions as a chapter with the classroom,
selecting leaders and conducting projects. The mini
chapters
affiliate as a single chapter for the school.
 One Chapter Per Adviser
In a multiple school, each adviser’s classroom mini-chapters
affiliate as a separate chapter.
FCCLA as A Teaching Tool
Student Leadership:
 Turn the planning, management, and
implementation of learning activities like films,
speakers, and enrichment activities over to students.
 Show how the topic relates to an FCCLA National
Program.
 Students develop leadership as they create the
activity.
 Because it is “their” activity, they must put more into it
and, as a result, get much more out of it. This is an
easy, effective way to integrate FCCLA into the
curriculum and is easier on you.
FCCLA as A Teaching Tool
Visibility:
 FCCLA is an integral part of the total Family and Consumer
Sciences program, so keep it visible. Display the emblem,
creed, and purposes. They can arouse interest, promote
enrollment, and spark classes into action
Planning Process:
 Use the FCCLA Planning Process to brainstorm students ideas
on any classroom topic. Identify it as a part of what young
people learn in FCCLA. If possible, use the planning process
to determine topics and priorities of the entire course.
Resources:
 Use Teen Times, the state FCCLA newsletter, Advisor excerpts,
etc. when discussing young people’s needs and concerns.
Identify the resources as among the benefits of belonging to
FCCLA.
FCCLA as A Teaching Tool
Flexibility:
 When a class discussion lends itself to developing an
FCCLA project, hand the president the gavel and have
an “instant” FCCLA meeting. FCCLA programs and
projects are outgrowths of the curriculum…encourage
them to grow when the “teachable moment” arrives.
Subtle influence:
 You can be the “gardener” who plants the seed of an
idea, then lets students take over to grow it. Toss out an
idea, then sit back and watch it grow into a super studentcreated project idea. You can “cultivate” some direction
during discussion while giving students ownership of their
ideas and plans.
Resources
The Ultimate Officer Handbook
& Training Manual is full of
activities and resources for the
FCCLA leader. Use this manual
as an instructional tool or
textbook for teaching
leadership in every Family and
Consumer Sciences class.

Integrating National Programs
 Make the project relevant to the students in the
classroom.
 Survey Students about hat they are interested in.
 Have students conduct a community needs
assessment
 Select a topic they will focus on for the semester.
 Students then work as a group to plan a project to
address the issue
Integrating National Programs
Larger Classrooms
 Classes may be divided into subgroups
of 5-10 students
 Each group may design a plan around a
community need
 Or plan a component of a much larger
project
For Example
Cancer Awareness
 One group may work on the education component
for a particular type of cancer.
 One group may work on raising funds for the
American Cancer Society.
 The class may decide to sponsor a cancer
awareness event and invite various groups to
present screening methods, awareness information,
fundraising opportunities or other information
preventing cancer.

Conclusion
 Use National Programs as the framework for the projects
 Students learn the Planning Process
 Students learn about FCCLA even if they are not affiliated
 Integrating National Programs into the classroom can
increase chapter membership by including students in the
program of work who are not generally active members of
extracurricular organizations
 And Remember, like in the Flag of Italy Activity, we can all
take different paths, tailor our FCCLA involvement to our own
personalities and still end up in the same place!
