Marilyn Wragg retired August 31 from her 18-year position as Director of The Curriculum Center for Family and Consumer Sciences. During this time, Wragg and Center staff have provided statewide leadership to Family and Consumer Sciences middle school and high school teachers through instructional resources and professional development. Most recently, Wragg helped develop Programs of Study under the AchieveTexas initiative, participated in review of new secondary curriculum standards, and directed development of scope and sequence documents for over 30 new FCS courses; all have afforded opportunity to work with Family and Consumer Sciences secondary and university educators across the state and nation. Wragg was recognized in March by the Texas Association of Family and Consumer Sciences as Professional of the Year and just this month received the Family and Consumer Sciences Teachers Association of Texas 2009 Distinguished Service Award.
