FCSEA has two monograph proposals approved for this year. These are “Safety Handbook for the Family and Consumer Sciences Educator”  and “Integrating Mathematics Standards into the Family and Consumer Sciences Classroom” . The authors will be working on the monograph drafts which will then be reviewed and edited.  We are very pleased with the recent submission of proposals and drafts and encourage you to consider submitting a monograph proposal or draft for consideration.  Please click here for the FCSEA Monograph Guidelines.
