In consultation with the Body Image Research Lab at the University of Calgary's Werklund School of Education, we have developed Health and Wellness lesson plans related to Food, Nutrition, and Body image. They have been built on the valuable feedback that was received from teachers through surveys and focus groups. The lesson plans address outcomes from the Kindergarten through Grade 9 Health and Life Skills/Physical Education and Wellness curricula in Alberta and incorporate age-appropriate food and nutrition literacy guidance. What we will cover: An overview of the lesson plans that have been created to support the teachings of food and nutrition with the new curriculum. An overview of the lesson plans, where to find them and how to give feedback for changes you would like to see. We will also touch on how concepts of healthy relationship with food were considered throughout the development of the lesson plans, and what resources are available to support that work in the classrooms as well.
