NEW!! Food and Nutrition curriculum available!!

The Texas 4-H & Youth Development Program is pleased to announce that Winning with Nutrition - a 4-H sports nutrition curriculum - is now available! Targeting 7th - 9th grade athletes, the goal of implementing the Winning with Nutrition curriculum is to provide youth athletes an opportunity to learn about proper nutrition, dietary needs, supplements, hydration and healthy methods to increase physical performance.
In addition to the curriculum, various resources to support its implementation have been made available. A summary of the items available include:

- Media Presentations to support each curriculum lesson;
- Student Evaluation - scannable form that can be sent to Organizational Development for processing, with a summary of the results then sent to you;
- Teacher Evaluation - form that can be used to seek feedback from teachers implementing the curriculum; and
- Teacher In-Service Resources - including a training agenda, training powerpoint (with notes) and a training evaluation instrument - to be used by agents when training teachers.
All of the resources, including the curriculum, is located on the Texas 4-H Website. From the home page, click on "publications," then "enrichment curriculum." The direct link is: http://texas4-h.tamu.edu/publications/enrichment/index.php. The curriculum and all of the resources mentioned above are located under the healthy lifestyles section. The curriculum is also available in the AgriLife Bookstore. BUT I have a copy in the office if you would like to take a look : )
