Curriculum

CAREER DEVELOPMENT EVENTS

This year Ohio has redesigned all CDE’s. The content is the same as Nationals. However, the difference between the two is the rubric. Ohio has a more specific evaluation list than Nationals. When preparing for Regional Career Development Events, be sure you are following the Ohio events.

At this time, you can find the events on the Ohio FCCLA website under the Career Development Events tab until November 1. After that date only affiliated chapters will have access to the CDE’s through the portal under resources (Ohio folder).

FACTS INITIATIVE

Looking for FUND$ to support your FCCLA program?

Apply for the Ohio FCCLA and Ohio Dept. of Public Safety FACTS Stipend
75 Ohio chapters can receive a $1,000 stipend to help bring project ideas to life!

A FACTS project can be:
  • a simple activity or a more elaborate event planned and carried out by students
  • a short-term, one-time activity
  • a series of in-depth events
  • completed by just 1 FCCLA member, a group of members, or the entire chapter
  • about one, or several, of the FACTS topic areas (personal traffic safety, vehicle safety, or road safety)

Make this easy on yourself! - Incorporate a FACTS project within a class you teach! Leadership & Community Engagement, Personal Wellness, Personal Wellness & Development, Child Development, and Human Growth & Development are easy courses to make this connection. Of course, it is also a wonderful project for every chapter and is the perfect way to create connections with other community organizations and local government agencies.

Use your project for a Career Development Event! The following Career Development Events lend themselves to this topic: Event Management, Professional Presentation, Public Policy Advocate, Chapter Service Project Display, Chapter Service Portfolio, Leadership, National Programs in Actions. Other options include State Project Award, National Programs Award and Service Learning Hours Award.

Do you need project inspiration? A digital copy of the F.A.C.T.S. Program Guide is now available to all Ohio chapters in your registration portal! (Check Purchased Publications under the Resources tab.) For more information about FCCLA’S F.A.C.T.S. national program, visit www.fcclainc.org.

Application deadline is Nov. 22 so start planning now! 

Step 1 – Apply: Find the FACTS Initiative Application in your chapter registration portal. (Click: Surveys tab, Ohio FACTS Initiative, 2020-2021 Ohio FCCLA FACTS Project Application)

Step 2 – Receive $1,000 stipend. FCCLA will award 75 Ohio chapters a $1,000 stipend to conduct a traffic safety related project. (Failure to complete project or to apply for FACTS Program Award will result in chapter refunding stipend to National FCCLA.)

Step 3 - Carry out a FACTS Project. Use your stipend funds as needed to conduct a FACTS project in your school or community.

Step 4 – Submit a FACTS Program Award Application by Mar. 1, 2021. Four Ohio chapters with the most outstanding projects will each be awarded $2,500 and will be considered for additional state and national FACTS program awards. The FACTS Program Award application is available under the “Program Awards” tab.

Industry Feedback Survey - The Ohio Department of Education is seeking industry comments for new Industry-Recognized Credentials recently submitted for consideration for the approved graduation list. A survey was developed to request feedback on recognition of the industry credentials and whether they are used in the hiring process. The industry-recognized credential review process relies on industry partners to validate the need of an industry credential in their respective career fields to ensure that students are earning credentials that are valued by Ohio businesses and/or are tied to Ohio’s Top Jobs List.

The Department needs your help! To ensure as many quality responses as possible, please forward this request to your school’s industry partners and advisory committees and encourage their participation. Survey participants should be involved in the hiring process at their company such as a member of the human resources team or a hiring manager. Your industry partners may pass the survey on to anyone they feel meets this criterion to participate.

Click HERE to participate in the industry-recognized credential feedback survey.

Under the new submission and review process, there will be a new list of industry credentials to be reviewed by an industry each quarter. An unprecedented number of applications were received this quarter. Your role in ensuring industry-recognized credentials of value are available to your student if you have questions, please contact Patti Guseman, Program Administrator, at [email protected].
We remain committed to communicating updates as we venture into these changing times and look forward to the day we can meet in person when it is safe. Ohio FCCLA cannot wait to see how you inspire families, careers and communities “Beyond Measure” this year through FCCLA activities..
