About this event
What is a Teach Food Champion?
A Teach Food Champion works alongside our team of volunteers to promote food teaching:
- become a voice that promotes food teaching, be part of the team!
- each month (or whenever you can) use the 'ready to go' content to speedily post across your social media, school website, newsletters and local networks. We make this as easy as possible.
- our monthly themes focus on those that we are trying to attract, such as parent returners to work, catering and hospitality professionals looking for a career change, professionals in food science, manufacturing or nutrition sector looking for a new challenge, and ex-military such as catering corps
- support new teachers and trainee teachers in the Food Teachers Centre group by offering help, support, kind words, encouragement and mentoring.
Organiser Food Teachers Centre (Founder Louise Davies)
Organiser of REGISTER INTEREST as a Teach Food Champion
FOOD TEACHERS CENTRE is a uk based self-help group founded by Louise T Davies in 2013 and supported by experienced associates. It provides a platform to exchange best practice, give advice and support to less experienced teachers, answering practical concerns and keeping them abreast of the latest curriculum changes. 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 of
- creative, innovative ideas and action
- practical solutions
- learning and sharing
If you would like to join the closed facebook group (you have to be a secondary food teacher and answer the THREE entry questions full))
