Statement of Task and Workshop Agenda

BOX A-1
Statement of Task

An ad hoc committee will organize a public workshop to discuss development of national nutrition education curriculum standards for use in elementary and secondary schools. Through presentations and discussions the workshop will explore the merits, potential uses, and attributes of a set of national standards and learning objectives for elementary and secondary school children, current and promising practices, and approaches to build acceptance and use among educators. An unedited transcript of the presentations and discussions will be prepared in accordance with institutional guidelines and will be provided to the sponsor, and a summary of the workshop will be prepared by a rapporteur and issued as an IOM workshop summary.

The childhood obesity epidemic and related health consequences are urgent public health problems. Approximately one-third of America's young people are overweight or obese. Health problems once seen overwhelmingly in adults, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, are increasingly appearing in youth. Though the health of Americans has improved in many broad areas for decades, increases in obesity could erode these and future improvements. The IOM report Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation recognized the importance of the school environment in addressing the epidemic and recommended making schools a focal point for obesity prevention. The development and implementation of K-12 nutrition benchmarks, guides, or standards (for a discussion of these terms, see the next section of this chapter) would constitute a critical step in achieving this recommendation. National nutrition education curriculum standards could have a variety of benefits, including the following:

  • Improving the consistency and effectiveness of nutrition education in schools;
  • Preparing and training teachers and other education staff to help them provide effective nutrition education;
  • Assisting colleges and universities in the development of courses in nutrition as part of teacher certification and in updating methods courses on how to integrate nutrition education in subject-matter areas in the classroom and in materials; and
  • Establishing a framework for future collaborative efforts and partnerships to improve nutrition education.

Nutrition Education in the K-12 Curriculum: The Role of National Standards is a summary of the workshop's presentations and discussions prepared from the workshop transcript and slides. This summary presents recommendations made by individual speakers.
