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. Salam A. Ibrahim at North Carolina A&T Sate University was part of a collaborative effort to develop a food technology class that is currently being taught by high school teachers. Materials from this course are used to train high school teachers who will be implementing the course. Additionally, members of the NCA&T food microbiology and safety laboratory utilize materials from this course for student workshops. |
