Canada | Research Update

At the Canadian Hub the focus has been on building resources that support educators’ capacities to engage with their students using food literacy. A review of British Columbia ‘s K-12 curriculum material has produced a scope and sequence chart. From this a star-burst chart was developed that shows cross-curricula possibilities for teaching food literacy.

A planning template has been developed to support educators work through possibilities for teaching about food literacy. With the focus on educator’s professional development, it uses an inquiry as the pedagogical approach. An annotated template and various Inquiry ideas have been developed by practicing teachers and are available to those who are interested. These Inquiry ideas will be available free of charge from the resource webpage, on the agreement that FLIP is acknowledged as the source of the materials.
