Participants have very few opportunities to provide input. Young children are involved where feasible. This appears to be an instructor driven curriculum with very little opportunity for volunteers and youth to get involved. Can see this working in a classroom setting, or with trained nutrition aides, but there appears to be very little references to and support for youth and volunteer leaders. The curriculum is appropriate in a variety of learning environments provided they are accessible to a food preparation area.
Curriculum lists supplemental activities, other books of interest and Internet sites.
Lots of pre-lesson preparation is required. Instructions are easy to follow, but some activities still need more detail. Discussion and review activities and evaluation are weak. Parent letter could be used better. Take-home activity instructions need to be provided for parents either on the worksheet or in the parent letter.
