Description
Food Smarts is a flexible, learner-centered cooking and nutrition curriculum with materials and lesson plans appropriate for adults, including older adults. Lesson plans with different class/series lengths are available. Instructor Guides offered in English, participant materials offered in multiple languages. Included in the USDA’s SNAP-Ed Toolkit. Evaluation tools available and facilitator training required. Food Smarts Waste Reduction lessons may also be added to the Food Smarts Lessons.
Leah's Pantry has approved Food Smarts to be delivered via a virtual format. Modifications may not be made to handouts, but permission is given to create slides based on workbook pages although Leah's Pantry has slides available for download to partners. Modifications can be made with regard to lesson delivery to take advantage of virtual platform capabilities. Some virtual lesson plans are available for download to partners, although we expect that partners will need to modify delivery strategies based on their situation.
Must be a registered partner to access material.
