Abstract: A Nutrition Education and Training Program (NETP) workshop course aims at promoting nutrition and health via the classroom teacher. The 10 sessions (30 hours) for staff development in nutrition education cover a 13 week study period and may be taken for graduate credit. Three goals of the training program are defined: 1) to develop nutrition awareness; 2) to develop an expanded nutrition component of health education curricula; and 3) to coordinate the school food service program and health curriculum. Personnel organization, structure, components, planning, administration, and outcomes of the course are described. The course is applicable for public and private school and day care center staff. Specific subject areas making up the course content include menu planning; health effects of foods and drugs; weight control; snacks; disease prevention; food advertising; food selection; self-concept; emotions and stress; exercise, activity and fitness; and sugar and dental care.
