Creating Healthy Changes in Out-of-School Settings
Navigating the Food & Fun curriculum and promoting healthy environments in out-of-school time can be easy and fun! Food & Fun After School 2nd Edition includes multiple planning tools to help save time and plan effectively for healthy change in their programs. These tools can help sites make Food & Fun lesson plans, set goals, assess progress, and promote sustainability. All the tools are designed as optional self-assessments. Some people might use all of them and others might choose just one that fits the needs of their program. These simple assessments should not be added work, but instead tools to encourage learning and sharing within and across programs.
