Food services join the T.E.A.M
1986
Hamlett, J.E.
T.E.A.M., Tennessee Education Accreditation Member, is a voluntary training program begun in 1980 by the Tennessee School Food Service Association. Started as a continuing education program and a way to broaden knowledge and skills while raising competency, T.E.A.M. involves a variety of participants, school superintendents, principals, school board members, school food service directors, and community college representatives. The 270-hour T.E.A.M. curriculum is composed of three levels. Level I examines school food service foundations, an introduction to organization and management, and nutrition for the school-age child. Level II focuses on school food service equipment, quantity cookery, and cost control. Level III encompasses food selection and procurement, and advanced management principles and concepts. In addition to improving skills, T.E.A.M. promotes communication among professionals in the field. Videotape and cable television are two methods that have been used effectively to increase the scope of T.E.A.M. courses. A review committee helps 1) ensure continuity in the program, 2) achieve consistency in the application of standards, and 3) promote the development and implementation of the best methods of administration.(aje)
