Course Description
Housing and Interior Design Foundations addresses selecting and planning living environments to meet the needs and wants of individuals and families throughout the family life cycle. Economic, social, cultural, technological, environmental, maintenance, and aesthetic factors are considered. The project-based approach in this course utilizes higher order thinking, communication, leadership, and management processes to integrate housing and interior design content. Topics to be studied include: housing styles, locations, zones, restrictions, and ownership options; managing resources (including financing options and tax considerations) to provide shelter; contemporary housing issues, including homelessness; environmental and energy issues; impacts of technology; housing to meet special needs; elements and principles of design related to interiors, housing, and architecture; creating functional, safe, and aesthetic spaces; historical aspects and contemporary trends in housing, interiors, furniture, and appliances; exploration of housing-related careers. Applications through authentic settings such as work-based observations, internships, and service learning experiences (e.g., Habitat for Humanity) are appropriate. Direct, concrete applications of mathematics proficiencies in projects are encouraged. This course is recommended for any student for enrichment and as a foundation for students with interests in any career or profession related to housing, interiors, and furnishings. It is recommended as a core component of the four-year career plans for the career clusters of agriculture, food & natural resources; art, A/V technology & communications; science, engineering & information technology; manufacturing & processing; business, management & finance; building & construction; education & training; health services; personal & commercial services; social & recreational services; law, public safety & security; and marketing, sales & promotion.

This course generates state vocational funding (APC) for schools with approved FACS programs.
Academic Standards
Academic standards (measurable exit standards) define what students should know and be able to do at the end of the course. Academic standards 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. Content standard #1 and competencies 1.1 through 1.5 form the foundation for the project-based approach recommended for implementing the remaining standards. The first two content standards and related competencies are specific to this course. The remaining competencies (3 through 10) are parallel to the standards for Indiana Economics, with modifications to reflect applications to individual, family, and community settings. The checklist format in the Word version of the standards facilitates use by teachers and/or students for planning and reflecting on achievement of competencies.
