Designing Newsletters to Recruit Family and Consumer Sciences Education Majors, Our Future North Carolina FCS Teachers

Abstract

Newsletters to inform students about family and consumer sciences (FCS) education and teaching were developed by a teacher educator at a Southern regional university. The newsletters provided general information about the university and department, classes FCS majors would complete, and future job prospects. The newsletters also featured some of the current students and recent graduates who were new teachers. Newsletters were distributed to high school FCS teachers and students to provide information about the FCS education major. The newsletters were well received by teachers as evidenced by their positive feedback.
