Today's classroom includes a diverse population of learners that have a wide range of experiences. Specifically, personal characteristics, interests, ability levels, socio-economic status and so much more  can influence the process of learning.  Teachers need to be aware of the changing needs of students and the various modalities/styles of learning.  This understanding can help teachers differentiate instruction and meet students' needs.  The content associated with family and consumer sciences courses encourages a learning environment with a variety of learning experiences, hands-on/experiential education, and a wide variety of topics to address.  This provides FCS teachers a unique opportunity to continue to engage learners of all ages and stages of life in the process of solving real world issues.
