Helping Students Make Better Decisions About Careers, Money, and Life
Monday July 20, 2026 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT
Students get plenty of information about careers and money—but not the tools to make clear, confident decisions. This session helps FCS educators teach a repeatable decision-making framework that students can actually use.
Participants will walk away with a structured approach to help students:
  • Clarify what matters to them
  • Evaluate realistic options
  • Understand trade-offs between income, lifestyle, and goals
  • Move forward without needing perfect answers
The session includes a hands-on activity, "The Real-Life Decision Map," where participants step into a student's role and work through a real-world scenario that requires weighing priorities and making a choice. The tools fit naturally into career exploration, personal finance, and life skills lessons—and into the time and structure teachers are already working with.

Building a Strong Foundation: Creating Positive Learning Environments in High School FACS While Mending the Bridge Between Middle and High School
Monday July 20, 2026 3:45pm - 4:45pm EDT
As students transition from middle to high school, FACS plays a powerful role in building confidence, belonging, and life-readiness skills. This session explores strategies for creating a strong academic and social-emotional foundation in high school FACS programs while strengthening alignment with middle school coursework.
Participants will examine how to build a supportive, culturally responsive environment and explore how intentional collaboration between middle and high school FACS programs can boost engagement, close transition gaps, and reinforce success skills like communication, responsibility, organization, and self-management.
Attendees will leave with strategies for aligned instruction, OER-based resources, and hands-on learning experiences that bridge grade levels—designed for FACS teachers and instructional leaders, strengthening the pathway.
