This teacher inquiry study explores how contextual teaching and learning strategies can be used to revitalize the home economics curriculum by strengthening the connection between teacher, student, and the curriculum. Lesson plans were remodeled to incorporate authentic assessment, inquiry learning, problem-based learning, and project-based learning, strategies that fall under the contextual teaching and learning umbrella. The action research cycle of plan, act, observe, and reflect was used to monitor the impact that these instructional strategies had on my professional practice in the areas of addressing student diversity in learning, student engagement and motivation, as well as transfer of knowledge.
