Skills for Personal & Family Living

Skills for Personal & Family Living, a comprehensive Family and Consumer Sciences text for the secondary level, helps students meet the challenges of their daily lives with confidence. They will learn practical skills for making decisions at home, school, and in the workplace. Career features called Career Times describe various careers, their preparation requirements, and personal qualities needed to succeed. New topics include accepting responsibility for decisions and their consequences, influences on behavior and decisions, promoting cultural diversity, preparing resumes, clothing label laws, multisize patterns, and trends in housing. Teacher's Wraparound Edition places suggested teaching strategies right on the student text page and answer keys next to the review questions.
