Book Description
Abstract: The curriculum guide, developed by a team of teachers to meet the nutrition education needs of students and staff of elementary schools, incorporates resource materials from various nutrition programs into ten component areas: Basic Four; food choices; nutrients; sugar, salt, fats; energy balance; food supply; food preparation; food service; labeling; and advertising. Each component area is represented in almost every grade level. The overview section lists objectives, background information and activities by topic area. Lesson plans, each based on one grade level objective are reinforced through brief background material and suggested activities which may be integrated with and supplement language arts, science, math, music, social studies, art or physical education. Vocabulary lists, time and resource needs are provided in some lessons. Appendices list additional resources and items needed to stock a nutrition food cart. (js).

Book Description
The childhood obesity epidemic and related health consequences are urgent public health problems. Approximately one-third of America's young people are overweight or obese. Health problems once seen overwhelmingly in adults, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, are increasingly appearing in youth. Though the health of Americans has improved in many broad areas for decades, increases in obesity could erode these and future improvements. The IOM report Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation recognized the importance of the school environment in addressing the epidemic and recommended making schools a focal point for obesity prevention. The development and implementation of K-12 nutrition benchmarks, guides, or standards (for a discussion of these terms, see the next section of this chapter) would constitute a critical step in achieving this recommendation. National nutrition education curriculum standards could have a variety of benefits, including the following: Improving the consistency and effectiveness of nutrition education in schools; Preparing and training teachers and other education staff to help them provide effective nutrition education; Assisting colleges and universities in the development of courses in nutrition as part of teacher certification and in updating methods courses on how to integrate nutrition education in subject-matter areas in the classroom and in materials; and Establishing a framework for future collaborative efforts and partnerships to improve nutrition education. Nutrition Education in the K-12 Curriculum: The Role of National Standards is a summary of the workshop's presentations and discussions prepared from the workshop transcript and slides. This summary presents recommendations made by individual speakers.
