Food Educator Training

Promoting the health of people and the planet

Hands-on Food Education in Schools & Other Organizations

Since 1999, the Food Studies Institute has been a leader in food education, helping teachers engage students of all ages in hands-on nutrition education through our signature Food is Elementary Curriculum and Food Educator Training.

“Working in the classroom with the children was so exciting and inspiring! To see them excited about learning about different types of fats and what they do to the body… vitamins and minerals…cultural foods…and more! And, the retention from one class to the next was great evidence that they are really interested in the information and using it…many of them proudly proclaim that they are teaching their parents how to eat healthy too!”
– Patty C, RD, LD, CDE, Food Educator, Nutrition Consultant, Certified Diabetes Educator, Kentucky

“Food is Elementary teaches students about healthy foods from around the world and builds on what our students learn in science, math, social studies, language arts, music and art. This provides educational enrichment to our students as well as teaching them about food, nutrition, exercise, and cooking. Not only is this beneficial to our students but it is also valuable to our parents and teachers.”
– Matt Hornbeck, Principal, PK-8 Public School, Maryland
