Cornell University is hosting a food safety workshop for NYS middle and high school science teachers in July 2012. More details coming soon...Due to feedback that we have received from teachers, most teachers workshops will be conducted in the late summer, when teachers are preparing syllabi and looking for new ideas for the next school year. Please check back in the spring to find details about additional teachers' workshops planned for 2013. |

During the NCA&TSU Food and Nutritional Sciences summer conference (described below under "Aim 1 Completed Efforts"), Salam Ibrahim will identify one school per district to host the one day Food Technology/Food Safety training to raise the awareness of the need for better staff development in these areas based on feedback from teachers. Salam will schedule these trainings with these sites/teachers. Takeda LeGrand from North Carolina Department of Education will help to market and advertise the trainings. This would be related to the new Food Technology course and the FACS e-group. There will be two trainings every Fall and every Spring semester (2012-2016). Salam Ibrahim, with the feedback from teachers, will plan and deliver a five day workshop (DATE TBD) on food science/food technology/food safety which will substitute for the three hour licensure requirement. This activity will be conducted during 2012-2013 academic year. |
