Introduction to the Curriculum
Young people will also:
- Explore multiple ways to cook healthy meals.
- Gain confidence in different areas of food preparation.
- Learn how toxic stress contributes to poor nutrition and health.
- Practice mindful eating habits.
This series is approved to teach online, older youth, ages 14-21, using “live” VE delivery. This means that SNAP-Ed educators deliver virtual lessons to students during class time. This is the closest method to traditional, face-to face education that requires the least preparation and technical skills. Live lessons allow for the most interaction with students through facilitated dialogue and other techniques.
