Lesson Plan Development and ModificationsFCCLA prep guide for 2026-27

Students write an original lesson plan and then adapt it for a student profile given to them.

About this event

Lesson Plan Development and Modifications asks students to write an original lesson plan and then modify it to fit a provided student profile. Individual event. FCCLA's information sheet lists Levels 1, 2 and 3, while its web page lists Levels 2 and 3, so check with your advisor. This is a Skill Demonstration Event at the 2027 National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, June 22 to 26. There is no state qualifying round: students register for the NLC, first come, first served, and the top 3 are recognized, and Sullivan University gives the Level 3 top 3 scholarships of $10,000, $5,000 and $3,000 toward a related degree there. A member may enter one Skill Demonstration Event, plus either one judged project event (such as Job Interview) or the Knowledge Bowl. FCCLA releases the 2027 guidelines, with times and rubrics, to members in March 2027.
