Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the implementation of a free nutrition education resource for 4th-grade students.
Use of Theory or Research
Our curriculum increases students' knowledge of label reading and affects students' attitudes regarding food marketing (Cognitive Factors). Students gain and practice real-life skills throughout our workshop (Behavioral Factors). Because our program is administered to an entire classroom, teachers report changes in classroom norms around how students discuss food choices, and anecdotally report that students are taking their learning home to impact their family's shopping behaviors (Environmental Factors).
Target Audience
4th graders
Program Description
Our website uses a series of live-action videos, animations, and “Briefings” (A.K.A. instructions) to help keep classrooms engaged and on track. The content, 3 hours in total, is divided into six modules that can be facilitated any time during the workshop week.
Evaluation Methods
Before workshop and after workshop nutrition knowledge surveys.
Results
Our workshop results in proven learning gains. On average, students score 32% higher on our nutrition knowledge survey after they complete the workshop.
Conclusions
Even though our workshop is a little silly and tons of fun, we are serious about our mission. Equipped with the life skills of food literacy, we believe today's kids have the power to change our food system for good, and we fastidiously track results to ensure our programming leads to real behavior change.
