Preferred term

nutrition education and promotion for staff  

Definition

  • Leading by example is something most educators would agree is one classroom management strategy used on a daily basis. However, when it comes to eating behaviors and nutritional habits, many school staff may fall victim to the old saying, “Do as I say, not as I do.” In fact, a poll conducted by Consumer Reports on Health in 2010 found that over 40% of Americans reported they drink at least one sugary drink each day, only 30% eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day, and a whopping 79% of those polled never count calories.
