Building a better community... Takes home economics into future

By Merrie Chapman Reporter Beverly Fales has great vision for the home economics department at North Wood High School. She foresees food science as the missing link in the evolution of her classes. “With CORE 40 there is a shrinking pool of electives,” says Fales. ‘lt leaves kids only eight to use over a four-year period. That’s a precious few to be spent on a wide range of possibilities” Bev adds. It is that restriction that has led instructors of elective classes to “compete” for students. “We are all struggling to make our subjects appealing to these kids,” says Fales. Food science, an area Bev is currently researching could provide students with an opportunity to combine their interest in the home economics area with the needed background to earn a science credit as well. Currently Fales teaches a variety of foods, nutrition and sewing classes that represent the traditional aspects of her department. In addition, she instructs several classes dealing with everyday life skills where she teaches students to deal with everything from managing a home to dealing with dating and marital relationships or the death of a loved one. Her curriculum in these areas may appear to be the teaching of common sense but the life skills students learn stay with them long after they leave her classroom. Mrs. Fales has a unique ability that allows to evolve and expand on her subject area. Through her years of teaching she has continued to change her curriculum to meet the needs of students. She began her career as a home economist before accepting a position at a middle school in New York. Her credentials include attending the University of Delaware and earning her masters at Purdue
