If you were mentoring a newly-hired teacher who was interested in presenting a unit on food safety, what suggestions would you have to help him or her get started?
What will be an ideal response?
First, it would be important for the new teacher to determine what children may already know about food safety so learning activities can be designed to reinforce and build on this knowledge foundation. You might also encourage the new teacher to use the National Health Education Standards (see, http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/SHER/standards) to help identify topics and behavioral indicators most appropriate for children at a particular grade level. You might also suggest that the teacher search for lesson plans posted on reputable websites to find ideas and activities that he/she may want to include. Once the new teacher has determined specific topics he/she wants to address, you would certainly encourage him/her to create written activity plans that identify behavioral objectives, instructional methods, content, and evaluation measures, and to use this information to improve future lessons.
