These classes are available to take first semester:
FOODS I: 2051
GRADES 10-12 ELECTIVE 1 CREDIT SEMESTER
Foods I is a comprehensive course ranging from nutritional information, basic meal planning, and basic food preparation skills. Students will also research careers in food service. The class includes class activities, assessments, as well as labs.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT/PARENTING: 2012
GRADES 10-12 ELECTIVE 1 CREDIT SEMESTER
Most people in our society become parents; therefore, the focus of this class is for students to understand the development of children. Information is presented to help today’s future families successfully meet the unique challenges they may face. Units will include the decision to parent, careers related to children, prenatal development, infancy, toddlers, and preschoolers, and the developmental tasks during these stages. Many contemporary parenting concerns, ranging from child abuse to substitute child care to children’s education needs are explored. Students will learn how to promote interactions that are enjoyable, supportive, encouraging and rewarding.
Students in Child Development experience kind of a “dual curriculum.” The “regular curriculum” includes learning about children and parenting, pregnancy and childbirth, and the baby’s first year of development. The addition of the RealCare® Parenting Program offers an amazingly realistic infant simulator that encourages learning by doing. Baby requires feeding, burping, rocking, and diaper changing on a 24-hour schedule. The experience allows students to draw their own conclusions and discover for themselves what the role of parent feels like.
