Health, Nutrition, and Wellness Presentation
As a teacher, you have the opportunity to share the
knowledge you have gained in this course with your colleagues to support a
collaborative approach to shared health, nutrition, and safety goals. For your Final
Project, you will create a presentation for other educators in your center that
is focused on the development of a program valuing health, nutrition, and
safety.
For this presentation, imagine you are part of a team of
teachers at an early childcare setting working toward accreditation through the
National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). As part of
this lengthy process, you have been tasked with the creation of a professional
development training for teachers focused on enhancing effective health,
nutrition, and safety practices at your center. Use the knowledge you have
gained in this course, as well as practical application and research to support
your presentation.
You can be creative for this project, but you must include the
following: Introduction that states the purpose of the presentation
Summary of what will be covered in the presentation
Health (five to six slides/pages) Explain what this
component includes in the early childhood classroom. Describe two to three
strategies to support health and wellness in the classroom. Identify and
describe at least two resources that teachers can utilize in their planning and
implementation. These can be text or web-based resources. Create a family
activity or newsletter that you can send home to support family engagement in
fostering children’s overall health and wellness. Discuss one obstacle that
teachers may encounter and a plan for how to deal with the challenge.
Nutrition (five to six slides/pages) Explain what this
component includes in the early childhood classroom. Describe two to three
strategies to support nutritional choices and possible food allergies in
children. Identify and describe at least two resources that teachers can
utilize in their planning and implementation. These can be text or web-based
resources. Create a family activity or newsletter that you can send home to
support family engagement in fostering children’s nutrition. Discuss one
obstacle that teachers may encounter and a plan for how to deal with the challenge.
Safety (five to six slides/pages) Explain what this
component includes in the early childhood classroom. Describe two to three
strategies on safety in the early childhood classroom. Identify and describe at
least two resources that teachers can utilize in their planning and
implementation. These can be text or web-based resources. Create a family
activity or newsletter that you can send home to support family engagement in
supporting children’s safety. Discuss one obstacle that teachers may encounter
and a plan for how to deal with the challenge.
Closing You have two options for your Final Project. You
many either submit an 18- to 22-slide PowerPoint presentation (not including a
title and reference slide) or you may choose to create a Prezi. You are able to
use the free version of Prezi to create your presentation. Be creative in your
delivery. Include visuals, audio, and video if you choose, but be thorough in
your content. Your presentation must utilize at least eight scholarly sources, in
addition to the course textbook. Be sure to address the required topics with
critical thought, elaboration, and college-level writing. The PowerPoint or
Prezi presentation must be formatted according to APA style, and it must
include a title slide, reference slide, and citations where appropriate.
