When it comes to understanding how our society works, few disciplines are more important than Family and Consumer Sciences. This subject is especially important for learning how to reach out to today’s students, as the media and products they’re exposed to on a daily basis, as well as the households they grow up in, are vitally important components to understanding how they develop and interact with the world.
As an aspiring Family and Consumer Sciences instructor, it will be your job to help professionals understand this important discipline. Before you can launch your career, however, you must first prove you’ve picked up all the necessary skills yourself.
This is where the GACE (Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators) exam comes in. The GACE exam is a requirement for all teachers in Georgia, and serves as a means of evaluating whether they’re ready to teach professionally. Teachers within your specific field will have to earn a passing score on the GACE Family and Consumer Sciences Education exam.
Like the majority of the GACE subject tests, the GACE Family and Consumer Sciences Education test is made up of two sections: Tests I and II. Each of these exams is composed of 80 multiple choice (“selected-response”) questions, which you will be given two hours to complete. The entire exam will take up about four hours. Additionally, each section features their own set of subjects.
Test I deals with:
- Textiles and Apparel (20 percent)
- Resource Management (30 percent)
- Food Science, Nutrition, and Wellness (50 percent)
Test II concentrates on:
- Housing, Interiors, and Living Environments (16 percent)
- Early Childhood Education and Community Services (40 percent)
- Foundations and Pathways of Family and Consumer Sciences (22 percent)
- Family and Interpersonal Relationships (22 percent)
