COURSE
DESCRIPTION
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
FACILITIES MANAGEMENT CAREERS is an instructional program that prepares
students
for career clusters that encompass occupations in and postsecondary
programs
relating to management and maintenance of residential, commercial, and
institutional facilities and equipment; to supervising and managing
such
services and facilities; and to training and supervising others in
related
tasks and use of related equipment.
Settings can be as varied as food service establishments,
hotels,
convention & meeting facilities, leisure and recreation facilities
and
grounds. Management of departments such
as security, safety, cleanliness and sanitation, hazardous materials,
and waste
as well as customer relations and customer service orientations are to
be
addressed. Ethical, legal, and safety
issues as well as helping processes and collaborative ways of working
with
others are to be addressed. Intensive
laboratory experiences with commercial applications are a required
component of
this course of study. Work-based
experiences in the Residential and Commercial Facilities Management
industry
are strongly encouraged.
This course is a core
component of four-year career plans for the career cluster of Personal
&
Commercial Services for students with interests in management or
maintenance of
residential or institutional facilities or hospitality establishments
and
provides the foundation for study in higher education that leads to
related
careers.
NOTES:
1 For Core 40,
for students
interested in this career pathway, this
course is appropriate for the "Directed
Electives" category
and for the "Electives - 6 credits (Career Academic Sequence
recommended)" category.
2. This course qualifies as an
Academic Honors Diploma and Technical Honors Diploma elective.
3. This is a
two-semester career preparation course that
must be offered for either two or three credits each semester. This
may be either a one-year or a two-year course, depending on local needs
and resources.
4. While each of the topics listed
in the course description should be addressed, emphasis placed on each
topic may vary according to local needs and resources. A two-year
course goes into more depth with selected topics and provides more
opportunities for authentic applications of content standards and
competencies.
5. If an articulation or dual-credit agreement is in effect, the
student may receive credit from a post-secondary institution.
Occupational FACSE programs must be
approved separately
to qualify for state vocational funding.
ACADEMIC CONTENT STANDARDS AND COMPETENCIES
The
following are measurable exit standards that define what students
should know and be able to do at the end of the course. The academic
content standards and competencies do not define a specific sequence
for teaching and learning. While all content standards and competencies
should be addressed in some way, teaching order and areas of emphasis
will vary according to local needs. This checklist format facilitates
use by teachers and/or students for planning and reflecting on
achievement
of competencies.
Academic standards will be
developed by local programs on an as-needed basis.
