This is a College-Preparatory Elective, an interdisciplinary credit course that gives students an overview of many aspects of public and community health with a focus on diet related disease and healthy food access. The emphasis of this course is to provide students with an engaging, project-based, community focused learning experience. A course curriculum with assessments was developed in collaboration with teachers, experts in the field, and community partners.
The CTC teacher provides learning opportunities for students to practice different tools used by public health professionals, including study design, community mapping, policy development, prevention effectiveness, advocacy, and peer instructing for health education. This position collaborates with Gardening and Cooking Program staff to co-lead nutrition and cooking skill building activities including arranging and organizing for guest lectures from leaders in the field, including field trips to local agencies and organizations working on public health projects.
This position leads student projects, such as peer-to-peer social media based nutrition education, creating a healthy snack cart for passing periods, facilitating food pantry days, and student led cooking classes. Students work in groups to design, deliver, and evaluate their initiative/intervention.
