The following Minnesota FACS Frameworks are the result of this collaboration work from FACS educators throughout Minnesota.  Minnesota FACS programs can utilize the FACS Frameworks for engaging curriculum with the career and life skills needed in today’s world.   

 Minnesota Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Frameworks:
These academic frameworks were partially funded by the Minnesota Department of Education using federal funding from the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, as amended by the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V).
