17- We Are Better Together With Kim Graybill
Welcome to episode 17 of Connect FCS Ed, I'm your host Barbara Scully. Today I am very excited to share my conversation with Kim Graybill, FCS Ed teacher and CEO of the FamilyConsumerSciences.com website.
Kim is a Penn State graduate (1987). She has been teaching for 30+ years. All but two have been in the same school. She teaches at a small, rural school (600 students), grades 7-12. The courses she teaches are jr. high grades 7-8 in six week rotations, senior high electives: Child Development, Individual & Family Studies, Exploring Foods and Career & Consumer Sciences (adulting/financial literacy). The electives are full year courses.
Kim started contributing to the Family Consumer Sciences website in 2011. In 2013, she wrote at least 2 posts/month and then in 2015 she took over the entire website as CEO and have been running it ever since.
When the website started in 2009, there were not a lot of FACS lessons available online. So, the website started as a way to help FACS teachers (especially new teachers) save time writing lesson plans and looking for new ideas. This philosophy continues today as we are better together! Kims says, "I know I wouldn’t be the teacher I am today if it weren’t for others helping along the way!"
