My name is Baylie Collins, the author and curator behind FCS and Creativeness. I'm a wife, mom, creative resource designer, and passionate Family & Consumer Science educator of 5 years. Although I am currently taking the 2021-2022 school year off to be a mama to the most beautiful baby boy, I look forward to continuing to create resources that meet your curriculum needs! If you've landed on my page, chances are you're looking for a lesson or project that will have your students hooked OR you're juggling multiple preps and have no idea what you're teaching today and need something, anything - ASAP! (we've all been there). Creating meaningful, engaging, long-lasting classroom experiences for students is what I love most about teaching and I'm confident that you'll be pleased with your students' engagement and desire to take their learning further when implementing my created resources.

Teaching is my jam! This profession wasn't really a part of the plan until my 3rd year of college, but I am so happy to have landed in a career that brings me so much joy. Using creativity and innovation, I strive to provide my students with opportunities that allow them to be in the driver's seat of their education and learning. While skimming through my store, you'll find a variety of student-centered resources that focus on higher-order thinking, 21st-century technology use, and employability skills.
