Perspectives from Educators

Important Points Made by Individual Speakers

Schools need to be held accountable if education standards are to be implemented.

Programs at the state level could act as models for providing nutrition education, building and maintaining partnerships, and applying nutrition policies and practices.

The development of education standards in other curriculum areas provides an opportunity to incorporate nutrition content and assessments into those subjects.

Students need strategies, techniques, and knowledge to make healthy decisions.
