A one-stop shop for like-minded professionals who seek help and information. It is free to take part and is facilitated through a closed on-line group, safeguarding the conversations of the teaching staff.The idea of a 'Teacher's Centre' is a response to the lack of local and national specialist support and diminishing Continuing Professional Development with the demise of local authority advisers ASTs, lead practitioners and supporting organisations.The Centre utilises new technologies, not requiring a physical space in new times, but providing the same high quality service that our traditional teachers centres were recognised for.The Food Teachers Centre is a place ofcreative, innovative ideas and actionpractical solutionslearning and sharingIf you would like to join theclosed facebook group(you have to be a secondary food teacher and answer the THREE entry questions full))But you can also visitour websiteandpublic facebook pageFOOD TEACHER'S CENTRE ASSOCIATESThe centre is supported by a group of very experienced and high quality national and regional consultants/advisers, who offer training, advice and resource writing for food education in primary and secondary schools.Find out moreabout how Associates can help you.Food Teacher's Centre Communityis a community group set up to:provide and promote unbiased and accurate information to support curriculum development and innovation.support food teachers (including student teachers) to exchange best practice nationally and internationally.support teachers and schools to develop and/or enhance a healthy living whole school community.Food Teachers Centre Communityis a Community Association suported by donations.  Treasurer Mrs B Rathmill and Seceretary Mrs J Elms.   More informationhttps://foodteacherscentre.co.uk/support-us/

‘Fish in School Hero’ programme offers free teacher training workshops and resources for schools.

‘Fish in School Hero’ aims to ensure that every child gets a chance to prepare, cook and eat fish before they leave school. The three year programme aims to train over 400 secondary food teachers to be confident in preparing and cooking fish with students in their classrooms. Teachers will be supported by local Heroes: fishmongers, fish-loving chefs and fish suppliers, as well as other Heroes who will talk first-hand about their role in bringing seafood from the sea to the plate, highlighting careers and opportunities in the fish industry.Supported by the Fishmongers’ Company’s Fisheries Charitable Trust, Fish in School Hero is managed by the Food Teachers Centre and their volunteer team throughout the UK. <a href="https://fish-hero-national-20-21.eventbrite.co.uk">Register here to take part in the programme</a>.
