SCAFCS 2015 Conference Program

“Advancing the Field
with NewTechnology”
100th Annual Conference
in partnership with the
South Carolina Department of Education
Embassy Suites Hotel
Columbia, South Carolina
February 19-20, 2015
Dr. Carol Weatherford
President
This is our 100th annual AAFCS-SCAFCS Conference! It is a great accomplishment for our profession and
membership. Our members are dedicated and committed and that legacy of dedication and commitment has been
handed down for over a century. We must be determined to continue that legacy while advancing our field. At this
100th conference, we will focus on Advancing Family and Consumer Sciences with Technology.
Our conference theme is FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES: Advancing the Field with New Technology.
As I have reflected on this theme, several concepts have emerged for me. We could not do this conference without
technology, at least not at the level at which we do it. All of you, all over the state, make this conference happen and we
are linked by technology for most of our communication. In classrooms, in offices, in our homes, we are served by
technology to make our job performance better. Technology can also present unique challenges. Some of us still prefer
the face-to-face contact with one another, and technology can make the face-to-face contact happen when it would
otherwise be impossible. Using technology, we are able to archive and retrieve more information and retrieve it easier
and faster than ever before. Using technology, we are able to create and teach in creative ways that have not been
available before. So we are here to learn about how to use technology to advance our field. Let us also use it to make us
stronger and to support one another in our efforts.
We are planning a South Carolina Legislative Day in March. Our tee shirts were first created with that in mind.
Please buy one to wear on that day to make a solid, proud statement to our legislators. Every time you wear it,
however, you will be making a positive statement for South Carolina Family and Consumer Sciences. You will be letting
people know who we are. We hope it will spark conversation and opportunities to advance our field.
We are a voice for professionals who serve the families of South Carolina so we also are a voice for the families
of South Carolina. Even in difficult times and circumstances, we must stand together and move forward. Each of the
past two years, just after Christmas, I have made a focused effort to contact each member of our AAFCS-SCAFCS affiliate
individually, using technology. What I have learned from that effort has been amazing and has inspired me. What I have
learned is this. You are heroes as you go about your work and family life. So many of you do your amazing work for
the people of South Carolina under very difficult circumstances, yet you do your work with commitment, dedication,
care, and excellence. I have been humbled, renewed, and awed as I have learned about how you serve. Today, more
than ever, it is imperative to stand together and support one another in our mission and goals. There is strength in our
efforts together and in reaching out to one another.

National AAFCS Teacher of the year
Christy Wilson
Changing the World Through FACS provides opportunities for
students to work across curricular areas and to present in three
different venues. She plans the program to allow students to make
decisions, solve problems, and provide assistance and education to
others. She values diversity in her program and in her work as a
teacher in general.
Mrs. Wilson is working to change the world through FACS and
provided evidence in her Teacher of the Year application that she is
successful in doing so. As she works to improve her
community, state, nation, and world, she is increasing the
visibility, recognition, appreciation, and support of the
Family and Consumer Sciences profession. Her
assistance to and partnerships with other agencies, the
publicity she has received, and the respect for her work
from her students, colleagues, and supervisors
demonstrate the excellence of her work. She is more than
a nationally recognized Teacher of the Year by being a
consistent mentor, leader, and innovative teacher every
day.
Mrs. Wilson identified eight outcomes for her program Changing the World through FACS and has provided
examples of how each outcome was reached. She also collected an extensive and impressive list of service items or
products which her students have provided for local, state, and international organizations to make a difference in
the world. In addition her program involves a research project that teaches students to identify and assess family
and community needs, develop a platform for meeting the needs, implement strategies to improve at least three
areas of need. Students also communicate about what they planned, learned, and accomplished. The use of current
technology, improvement in writing and presenting, improvement in financial literacy and promotion of the field of
Family and Consumer Sciences is integrated throughout the project.
As National AAFCS Teacher of the Year, I was able to travel to St. Louis Missouri
where I attended the 2014 National Conference. During the conference, I spoke to the
conference attendees in the opening session, presented my program during the TOY
luncheon, and participated in the Educational Showcase where I met educators who
shared their powerful FACS lessons and programs.
This experience has enabled me to meet a number of new faces and make connections
across the United States. I feel the experience has highlighted Family & Consumer
Sciences in South Carolina. The recognition has put a spotlight on our field through
the eyes of our Governor, State Representatives, and the SC State Superintendent of
Education. This recognition has brought political figures, community members,
educational professionals, newspaper writers, and TV News crews into my classroom
to witness the field of Family & Consumer Sciences in action. The connections made
will benefit our students in a positive way for many years to come.

AAFCS Leader Award
Dr. Ethel G. Jones
Her career (1996—present) has included outstanding work with
Co-operative Extension Services, High School teacher, Events
Coordinator for FHA aka FCCLA with the State Department of
Education in South Carolina, and Graduate Teaching and Research
Assistantships at Iowa State University. At South Carolina State
University in Orangeburg, South Carolina, her tenure advanced from a
Visiting Assistant Professor and Program Advisor/Coordinator to a
tenured Associate Professor and Chairperson of the Department of
Family and Consumer Sciences.
Dr. Jones has influenced the
direction and attention paid to
aspects of our association and profession. Most recently, she established
an Orangeburg County Initiative to address the issue of obesity. Dr.
Jones has written proposals in support of her professional work and the
work of the department. Six have been funded.
Dr. Jones’ professional presentations and publications demonstrate a
significant level of professional responsibility. She has also provided
leadership for members of her department seeking promotion and tenure
and for the successful reaffirmed accreditation of programs within the
Department (Family and Consumer Sciences, Nutrition and Food
Management, and Child Development).
Dr. Jones has consistently served the Family and Consumer Sciences
profession and AAFCS by holding various offices, including being
elected to the Council for Accreditation, President and Vice President of
the 1890 Council of Administrators in Family and Consumer Sciences,
President of the National Association of Teacher Educators for Family and Consumer Sciences, President and
currently Treasurer of the South Carolina Affiliate, and many others. She has served on numerous committees and
has attended and presented at many state and national conferences. She faithfully attends and participates in our
South Carolina Affiliate Board meetings.
Various groups have recognized the outstanding contributions of Dr. Jones through numerous state and national
awards, reflecting a very positive professional reputation regionally and nationally. She was named Outstanding
Family and Consumer Sciences Professional by the National Coalition for Black Development in Family and
Consumer Sciences. Dr. Jones was also twice named “Teacher of the Year” at South Carolina State University for
the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, College of Business and Applied Professional Sciences and
School of Applied Professional Sciences. She has received other awards including a Presidential Award, Speaker’s
Award, Presenter’s Award, Academic Achievement Award, and Outstanding Dissertation Award.

B: Presenter – Kassie Mae Miller, USC
“Clean and Simple Data Visualization”
This session will address the basics of presenting data effectively to enhance the readability and usability of
your data. Frequently, reports, charts, and tables are difficult to decipher, causing frustration, and, ultimately,
taking away from the message you are trying to share. Creating clean and simple charts helps communicate
your results more effectively, making readers feel smarter and more engaged with your results. This workshop
will cover the importance of presenting data effectively, including a brief explanation of how our brains
perceive visual information and how that impacts the formatting of information we present. I will show
examples of new and unique charts, as well as tips on titles, legends, and emphasizing key information. All
information will be presented using Excel and is applicable for all disciplines.

What FCS Professionals Need to Know”
Technology Minutes: Latoya Johnson & SCSU Students
EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS
1:45 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
A: Presenter – Juanita Mendenhall – (Continued from General Session)
“A Hidden Epidemic”
FCS professionals cannot adequately teach about nutrition unless they understand a disease that keeps one of
every 100 persons from getting proper nutrition throughout their lifetime no matter how well they eat! The
Disease?? Celiac, a hereditary, autoimmune disease affecting millions that don't yet know that they have it.
Celiac causes so many other conditions but is very frequently not recognized as Celiac being the real cause.
Professionals need to educate themselves adequately so students and others in their influence are not mislead.
Thyroid disease, infertility, irritable bowel syndrome, 5 kinds of cancer and as many as 25-30 other illnesses
may be the result of this mis-information. This makes it imperative that FCS professionals do have correct
knowledge in order to help curb the effects of the hidden epidemic.
B: Presenter – Leslie Hamby, 2014 SCAFCS Teacher of the Year
“Nutrition and Agriculture: From the Field to the Table”

educational technology often follow as they progress through teaching and learning with technology. My
presentation will take you through the various levels as well as show you ways that you can use this model to
assist you with technology integration in your classroom. While most of us as teachers are comfortable using
technology to show presentation such as PowerPoint or even to show YouTube videos there are a lot more
tools and resources that will help to engage our students. I will be sharing several of these tools and help you
become more comfortable using them.
