Nutrition Education Curriculum Database

Now, more than ever, teaching children how to choose and eat healthy foods and have fun while being physically active are essential for lifetime health and academic success.

What is the Nutrition Education Curriculum database?
This searchable database currently provides a short synopsis of approximately 80 nutrition education curriculums. Reviewing curriculum is an on-going process and we will continue to add to the list over time. If you know of a curriculum that is not in our list, please contact us at FSHN Extension.

The current emphasis on academics in the classroom creates a challenge to add nutrition education to existing curriculum. However, many nutrition education curriculums support existing academic requirements, standards and benchmarks. Thus, standards and benchmarks and cross-curricular content appear in the database to help teachers dovetail nutrition education into existing curriculum requirements, standards and benchmarks.
