The North Carolina Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Program in the N.C. Division of Public Health works with numerous state and local-level partners to provide nutrition education resources for students, families, educators and food service personnel. The Nutrition Education and Training (NET) Program, strives to integrate mealtime and learning experiences to help children make informed food choices as part of a healthy lifestyle. The N.C. NET Program instructs educators in nutrition education, trains food service personnel in nutrition and nutrition education, develops educational materials and curricula, and supports healthful school environments through implementation of Local Wellness Policy.
The N.C. NET Resource Library makes available audiovisuals, computer programs, games, curricula guides, textbooks, children's books and other resources for classroom, cafeteria and community use. Items cover topics such as general nutrition, food preparation, food science, fitness, sports nutrition, special needs, eating disorders, food labels and dietary management. This collection of materials is available for loan to anyone in North Carolina who works with children of all ages.
The intent of the North Carolina Healthful Living Standard Course of Study is to establish competency goals and objectives for the teaching and learning of behaviors that contribute to a healthful lifestyle and improved quality of life for all students. The N.C. Healthful Living Standard Course of Study is a combination of two content areas: health education and physical education. The two courses should complement each other as reflected in the Standard Course of Study Strands, Competency Goals, and Objectives. Attention should also be given to the Grade-level Major Emphases and Focus areas to ensure students experience a comprehensive sequential educational program that involves learning a variety of skills and concepts that are health-enhancing.
Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) is a nationwide initiative dedicated to improving the health and educational performance of children through better nutrition and physical activity in schools. Healthy schools produce healthy students - and healthy students are better able to learn and achieve their true potential. North Carolina AFHK is one of 51 Action for Healthy Kids state teams. The mission of North Carolina Action for Healthy Kids is to improve children's nutrition and physical activity in schools by collaborating with diverse stakeholders in advocating, promoting and implementing national and state initiatives. N.C. Action for Healthy Kids' primary work focuses on implementing Local Wellness Policies in North Carolina schools through the implementation of the Successful Students Eat Smart and Move More campaign.
Successful Students Eat Smart, Move More is a social marketing intervention designed to create a “buzz” around Local Wellness Policy among school board members, superintendents, School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) chairs and PTA members so that policies will be implemented, evaluated and supported by the larger community. The materials are divided into five sections: 1) Speaker Handouts from the March 2008 Spring Forward with Local Wellness Policy workshops; 2) Advocacy Tools; 3) Community Outreach; 4) Evaluation; and 5) Training and Presentations.
