Biography
Lacee R. Boschetto is an assistant professor in the Family and Consumer Sciences Education program, serving as a teacher educator. She has over 18 years of teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary environments.
Teaching Interests
I enjoy teaching undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on instructional methodology and classroom management within the career technical education discipline. My role as a teacher educator includes supervising FCS students through preservice teacher practicum experiences. Aside from FCS education, I enjoy teaching an extensive general-education course on universal dress practices. As an educator, I live by a phrase that represents the three pillars of my teaching philosophy, "Make it Known, Make it Real, and Make it Matter."
Research Interests
My research interests focus on strengthening the quality and presence of family and consumer sciences (FCS) curriculum and instruction in educational environments to improve individuals, families, and communities. I specifically explore ways to enhance the effectiveness of career technical education curriculum, emphasizing FCS, through the contributions of school-based and non-formal teacher preparation programs.
An extension of my research concentration involves investigating aspects of adulthood literacy and how to support high school graduates who do not seek post-secondary education. Adulthood literacy consists of the knowledge and life skills necessary to exhibit personal independence and societal contribution within the 21st century. By creating a curriculum that adequately prepares all adolescents for adulthood, we can better support the needs of individuals and communities. I am interested in furthering my research and work on adulthood literacy to support juveniles and adults in correctional programs who are preparing to reenter into society.
