Curriculum

In January 2005, stakeholders met in Davis, California, to evaluate a draft of the California Nutrition Education Competencies before it was finalized.

Teachers from all over California were surveyed to assess the final version of the California Nutrition Education Competencies.

Nutrition to Grow On, a garden-enhanced nutrition education curriculum, has been updated and is now available as a free downloadable resource.

The TENA Survey was conducted by the University of California, Davis, Center for Nutrition in Schools in partnership with the California Department of Education, Nutrition Services Division.

In conjunction with California Department of Education, Drs. Rachel Scherr, Marilyn Briggs, and Sheri Zidenberg-Cherr have created a set of nutrition competencies and a competency-based resource guide.
