•  I can't count how many conversations I've had with people out in the community, random strangers, even where they think that they should bring back home economics. But Home Economics has always been here. It changed the name 30 years ago. It's always been here. It's going to continue to be here. And they value that skill set, and they aren't teachers, but they value that skill set and they think it should be taught, and I also think it should be taught. So that's why I'm here. (7:43)• The National Partnership for Family and Consumer Sciences education for recruiting, preparing and supporting an FCS educators. How did you guys go about finding out about this national partnership? Well, I think that Kevin and I both learned about the partnership through our professor here at Purdue, Dr. Carol Werhan because she was on an episode of this podcast, and before she sent it to us and encouraged us to listen, so naturally we did (14:16)• I actually attended a signing ceremony myself, so when I went to the National Say Yes  to FCS event, like the Star event, back when I was a senior in high school. Me and my teacher, we went to go to this event where we had to basically go up on this little board and sign her name saying we said yes to FCS... This was at FCCLA conference, I realized it's also at state levels as well (17:36)• So there is actually a recruiting handbook guide called The marketing playbook, and it's a ready-to-use content library that you can download digital and social media, such as educator spotlights, podcasts, videos, print-ready, images and graphics, brand standards, and out outreach materials and you could find all of these materials on the website FCSED.net. Here is just a sampling of a 30-second recording PSA product that you can use right now. (19:18)CONNECT WITH THE NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP•Email: https://www.fcsed.net/contact-us•Website: https://www.fcsed.net/about/about-national-partnership CONNECT WITH EMMERSON BURROUGHS•Email: eburroughs.be@gmail.com CONNECT WITH KEVIN HOMAN•Email: homan4@purdue.edu CONNECT WITH BARBARA:• FCS Podcast: https://fcspodcast.com• FCS Tips: https://www.fcstips.com• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConnectFCSed• Twitter: https://twitter.com/ConnectFCSed• Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/connectfcsed• Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/connectfcsed • Tik Tok:  https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdhKwFKc/WHEN DOES IT AIRFEBRUARY 9th, 2022

87-National Partnership Series with Future FCS educators Emerson Burroughs and Kevin Homan

Hannah Jones

“There’s so many opportunities to travel, network, and broaden your horizons. I don’t think you can get that anywhere else. ”  Hannah Jones (10:46 - 10:56)    Kevin Homan, FCS student at Purdue University in Indiana, Hannah Jones, National FCCLA First Vice President and incoming political science freshman at The University of Kentucky and Kenzlee Camp, incoming FCS freshman at Oklahoma State University are all three students that have been involved in FCS at a young age and are now taking what they’ve learned and applying it to their separate career paths.   In previous discussions about family and consumer sciences, the main focus has revolved around how current educators got into the field. But what about their students? A recent USDA grant focuses on recruiting, preparing and supporting these educators. The former of the three tent poles is one of the most important as educators aim to get students involved by showing just how far the FCS field can take them.   While family and consumer sciences originated as middle and high school classes to teach students life trades, it’s evolved into much more. The student-run Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) organization is one of these major recruitment tools for students across the country.   As the National FCCLA First Vice President, Hannah Jones originally aimed to go into the medical field. With FCCLA, she attended a leadership convention in Washington, D.C. that allowed her and her classmates to advocate for a specific topic. This opportunity to speak directly to representatives about something she was passionate about made her switch gears to now focus on politics and eventually becoming a lawyer.   Kenzlee Camp encountered a teacher in high school at a point when she wasn’t sure where she wanted to take her career. Kenzlee could tell that this teacher had a passion and that’s when she knew she wanted to do the same.    “My advisors were really big on showing me the model for what a strong FCS teacher should look like. That really impacted me and they invested into my leadership journey. They were huge catalysts in my decision to major in FCS education.” Kenzlee Camp (08:34 - 08:49)   Like Kenzlee, Kevin Jones had an FCS teacher that influenced him to go further as an educator himself. His teacher had a knack for restaurant management and encouraged him to make a career out of it. With the assurance of job security, it was a no brainer for Kevin. Now, almost reaching the end of his college career, it’s extremely likely he’ll get a job fairly quickly after graduation.    Telling students they have career security in FCS sounds simple enough, but how do educators keep them interested and support their endeavours? As all FCS students are virtually in the same classes, Kevin thinks that students supporting each other is a huge factor as they all “grow up” together.   The stigma around FCS as just a culinary arts field just isn’t true anymore. It’s important to share the story that FCS and FCCLA teach you real world skills that you’ll take with you for the rest of your life.    Hannah started in the path of early childhood education and not only learned how to teach children but how their brains work and are affected by every little thing in life. Although an incoming college freshman, Kenzlee has already learned similar practices in her high school education about how people develop. These studies and skills can go on to be applied to virtually any field, not just FCS education.   “A practical lesson I’ve learned in all of my studies is to remember that you’re still growing. You don’t have to worry about being perfect the first time. If you mess up, that’s an opportunity for growth.” Kenzlee Camp (19:05 - 19:18) The best piece of advice current FCS students have for any that are interested in the field is to not judge the book by it’s cover. Even if you don’t go into FCS education, the skills learned will set you up for success, no matter what your career choice is.
