Broccoli for Breakfast and Life Skills @ CBA

Mr. Schneeberger
Family Consumer Science Teacher
By offering Family Consumer Science to our students, we are equipping them with valuable life skills and preparing them for roles within the family, their future workplace, our community, and the world.
The field of family and consumer sciences (FCS), founded as home economics, is the comprehensive body of skills, research, and knowledge that helps students make informed decisions about their well being, relationships, and resources to achieve optimal quality of life. Our curriculum includes:
- Personal and family finance
- Food science, nutrition, and wellness
- Consumer issues
- Employment opportunities in the hospitality industry
Our upper and middle school culinary curriculum focuses on interpreting how to read and use recipes and terminology, describe and demonstrate safe and sanitary food handling techniques, analyze food label information, and demonstrate nutrition and wellness practices that enhance individual and family well-being. Consumer issues focus on describing how media and advertising affect family and consumer decisions, describing places to shop and merchandising tactics, and brand comparisons within a store.
In our Food Lab, I make sure to use only "Schnee's World Famous" recipes which feature whole foods and limit ingredients containing added sugars, salts, fats and preservatives. My goal is for my students to understand that what they put into their bodies has a direct impact on how they feel, how they sleep, and what they are able to accomplish throughout the day...
