Review the Kids area of the MyPlate website , https://www.myplate.gov/life-stages/kids
hypothetically conduct a 1 hour professional development session for your staff, and to evaluate your guide.
Scenario:
As a director of an early child care and education program, you wish to ensure that all teachers are knowledgeable about nutrition in the early years. Hypothetically, you asked your staff to review the kids section of the MyPlate website in preparation of an upcoming professional development session you will be holding at your center. You have located a great video that you will open the session with. This video is one that teachers can potentially use in teaching a topic on nutrition in their preschool classrooms. You will put together a post-video and website review discussion guide so that you and your teachers can explore this topic and discuss your findings during the professional development session.
Focus Assignment:
Create a 4-question post-video discussion guide on the topic of building teacher understanding of healthy eating. In your guide, be sure to integrate the concepts of ChooseMyPlate. The discussion guide will focus on teacher understanding of healthy eating through ChooseMyPlate. Include any type of break out activity that you may use to drive the discussion so that your teachers are not just sitting and listening for the entire session. Think outside the box, how can you make the discussion active?
