How can teachers integrate the School Lunch Initiative into their curriculum and classroom practices?
Through this district-wide effort, teachers are encouraged and supported in finding ways to increase their students’ science and nutrition literacy. Working with strand maps from the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s (AAAS) Project 2061 Atlas of Science Literacy and California state standards, the Center for Ecoliteracy has developed a K-8 scope and sequence called Linking Food, Culture, Health, and the Environment. CEL, working in partnership with the School Lunch Initiative, selected five strands: Plants Making Food, Food Webs, Diet and Exercise, Producing Food, and Learning from Others and is developing grade- level matrices, mapping CA standards in science, history/social science, health, language arts, and math. In addition, CEL has developed Rethinking School Lunch—A Visual Guide to Linking Food, Culture, and the Environment for general audiences that depicts dimensions of an integrated curriculum. The visual guide is available for download at www.ecoliteracy.
