 Food Teacher Day: One mission, many classrooms
The event celebrates the important work and impact of secondary school food teachers, ensuring that children and young people have inspiring food experiences! It provides an opportunity, at a local level (but delivered nationally), to learn, share and interact together. There will be updates about the national food teaching agenda, consideration for looking beyond what we currently teach, and exploration of food teaching strategies.
The event has three key elements:
The event is being hosted regionally (60+ locations!), so check where is close to you, and will be delivered via online presentations and teacher activities.
Programme
Session 1: Curriculum review impact
 Session 2: Look beyond what you currently teach

 Each section will comprise a series of presentations broadcast nationally, with discussion and activity conducted locally.

 Support for Key Stage 4 Options Evening
It’s that time of the year again when we need to promote our subject to the wider school community. Whether you run GCSE or Hospitality & Catering we need to showcase our subject.
Things to consider:
Ø Budget – can you get money from school open evening budget to provide for any ingredients you might need?
Ø Students – Current year 10 students on duty explaining why they selected subject and have some doing practicals
Ø Displays – up date your displays to include future careers in the food industry – it is not just about being a chef!
Ø Ensure you have exam board past papers, examples of past NEA work, text books available for parents/carers and students to view (could you use QR codes to link directly to exam board websites?)
Ø Remind them, so have examples, of what written / theory work is done in years 10 and 11 – including science – its not just a cooking course!
To help and support you:
1. Food Teachers Centre GUIDES section
Guide 12 has examples of displays and work teachers have shared for open and option evenings CLICK HERE
 Here you will find resources previously shared by teachers of what they have done on the evening. Sign up to gain fast and easy access to all the files so that you can access them offline (away from Facebook) on GOOGLE DRIVE and DROPBOX.
We ask for a donation to help us with the fixed costs of running the Food Teachers Centre, such as the cloud storage for the Resource Bank and our newsletter and website. If you would like to sign up to gain access, all that we ask is that you are a member of the closed Facebook group
