The publication represents the result of the Consumer Education Task Force's attempt to develop competencies applicable to a K-12 continuum. It has been designed to provide school district personnel with relevant data to support a comprehensive curriculum development effort; or to support a variety of alternative approaches at various grade levels. Twenty-five consumer education competencies are outlined for the following areas: value system for consumer education, decision-making procedure, rights and responsibilities of the consumer, and the role of the consumer in our economic system. The consumer education competencies are further divided into subcompetencies for the primary, intermediate, and secondary levels. (Author/BP)
