\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We have created an 8-lesson nutrition education curriculum for high school health educators that meets the National Health Education Standards. Over a two-year timespan we conducted research to inform the curriculum, and worked with health educators to co-create a curriculum that is evidence-based and applicable in real classrooms. The curriculum is free for educators to use, and each lesson includes a lesson overview with helpful resources, presentation slides, instructor notes, and associated activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can preview the curriculum below and submit this form<\/a> to get immediate access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to teach a skills-based nutrition unit? We have also created templates for teaching from a skills-based perspective that you’ll have access to with the curriculum.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
