Developing a state plan: Three state coordinators share their experiences
1979
Bowman, Eunice Wilson | Serrano, Tino
Michigan's NET coordinator asked local people what should be included in the state Nutrition Education and Training program. Final goals included testing approaches and gathering information on specific needs. An evaluation workshop decided that programs should include activities for parents and children and professional development activities for school personnel--including those not involved directly with food service, family day care homes, and child care institutions. Wisconsin's NET program used existing agencies to structure a state plan which includes a nutrition education specialist for each of 6 NET regions in the state. "Awareness workshops" are a major factor in the Wisconsin program and are required for school districts receiving NET funds. The program draws heavily on community agencies and educational institutions and receives dissemination aid from a variety of local organizations and community services. California has had a number of nutrition education programs, but the NET concept provides a link to national programs. Twenty-eight projects will serve as model projects for other schools and centers in California.
