To Sew or Not to Sew? That is the Question
Monday June 8, 2026 1:00pm - 1:45pm CDT
Diamond 5
Is teaching sewing a relic of the past, or is it a skill that remains relevant in today’s world—and into the future? After surveying and collecting information from Nebraska FCS teachers, this presentation explores current trends in sewing instruction and examines why some educators continue to teach sewing while others choose to remove it from their programs. The benefits of sewing education for both teachers and students will be highlighted, along with common challenges and obstacles faced in today’s classrooms. Participants will also share project ideas and practical resources to support successful sewing instruction.

Tuesday June 9, 2026 1:00pm - 1:45pm CDT
Diamond 5
Do you have picky students? Encourage your students to use ALL of their senses as they evaluate the quality and appeal factors of the foods they prepare. Help them use descriptive words to expand on their food experiences, and hopefully, their palate.  Then identify your expectations for their willingness to try a variety of foods created in your classes.
