Educational Nutritional Philosophy
This is my educational nutrition philosophy:
I believe nutrition is an important part of education. As students spend most of their day at school and even have the opportunity to eat two meals (some schools even offer snacks) a day at their school, schools and staff play big roles in how children look and feel about nutrition. If the school offers a fresh fruit and vegetable snack it provides the students with an opportunity to try new and healthy foods. However, it is even more vital that the staff supports this opportunity. If the teachers are enthusiastic about the healthy choices the school provides the children will be too. Same goes with the influence they can receive from teachers in every day conversations. As a teacher I will remain positive about trying new foods with students, teach healthy eating choices for when they are at home, provide information on the benefits of healthy eating and exercising, and challenge my students to stay active outside the classroom. I will influence my students to make healthy eating choices and to exercise by being an example myself.
