Book excerpt: The School Breakfast and Nutrition Education Program (SBNEP) is a state government initiative to improve the nutrition and wellbeing of vulnerable children in Western Australia.

A three-year long evaluation is underway to program's impacts and implementation. This report presents preliminary results and findings from the second year of the evaluation. The program has two components: the Breakfast Program, which provides products for schools to deliver healthy breakfasts and emergency meals to students in need; and the 'Food Sensations' nutrition and cooking education program. The evaluation will assess the impact on children's nutrition and wellbeing, capacity for learning, and attitudes and knowledge regarding healthy food, as well as cost effectiveness, local human capacity and community cohesiveness, stakeholder satisfaction, and the factors affecting its implementation and operations.

Download or read book Education and Equity in Times of Crisis written by Emily S. Rudling and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how educational equity is affected during crises – specifically the COVID-19 pandemic. Three key concerns emerge for children’s and young people’s education: material needs, emotional wellbeing, and access to learning. The evidence highlights how pre-existing educational inequalities were exacerbated as well as altered during the global pandemic. Critical reviews of educational vulnerability and of significant crises over the past century provide the book’s foundation. Then, drawing on empirical research from Australia and extensive analysis of international documentation, the book demonstrates significant detriments that pandemic responses caused to formal learning and the broader support role of schools and also addresses promising educational innovations. The book is important not only for scholars in education, but also for practitioners and governments to inform how to better support learning as well as material and emotional wellbeing during and after crises, especially for children and young people experiencing disadvantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food relief organisation Foodbank WA operates a School Breakfast Program to help children in low socioeconomic areas of Western Australia. They commissioned this independent qualitative evaluation to explore how well the program was providing positive outcomes for children, teachers, parents, and the school community. Case studies was undertaken in two metropolitan primary schools, one regional secondary school, and one remote secondary school, involving focus groups and interviews with stakeholders, school leaders and administrators, teachers, parents, program volunteers and coordinators, school nurses, and children. This report discusses the findings and presents recommendations for developing the program. The findings indicate that the program is reaching several segments of children, including those who are frequently food insecure, those experiencing only occasional financial hardship, those with low food motivation, and those consuming unhealthy breakfasts.
Download or read book School Breakfast Program written by Judi Bartfeld and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participation in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) is much less common than participation in the Nat. School Lunch Program, even among children with access to both programs. This report examines participation in the SBP among 3rd grade public school students, as well as the impacts of the program on food insecurity and children's risk of skipping breakfast. Students are more likely to participate when breakfast is served in the classroom, when time available for breakfast in school is longer, and when they come from lower income or time-constrained households. Children with access to the SBP are more likely to eat breakfast in the morning and that program access may enhance food security among families at the margin of food insecurity. Illus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, Congress authorized the School Breakfast Program Pilot Project (SBPP) to study the implementation and effects of providing universal free school breakfast in six school districts across the United States. For three years, from School Year (SY) 2000-2001 through SY 2002-2003, these six school districts received federal funds to offer school breakfasts free of charge, regardless of family income, to students in a number of elementary schools that were matched on a number of characteristics, then randomly assigned to either treatment or control status. The control schools continued to offer the regular School Breakfast Program (SBP), which provides free or reduced-price breakfasts to eligible students from low-income families. Over the course of the three years of the pilot project, data were collected from all participating schools for an evaluation of the implementation and impact of providing universal-free school breakfast. The current report serves as the final report of findings from the SBPP. It provides impact estimates for a smaller set of outcomes, based on data collected over the remaining two years of the pilot, and integrates the findings from all three years of the SBPP. This report also presents findings from an additional set of analyses undertaken to address a set of questions that have been raised by policy makers and other stakeholders since the release of the first year report. These include analyses focused on students who do not eat breakfast ("breakfast skippers") and those who eat a nutritionally robust or "substantive breakfast"; variations in the breakfast setting (i.e., school versus home, classroom versus other school location); characteristics of students in food insecure households; and differences in student outcomes by household income level. The remaining sections of this chapter provide background information about the SBP; a brief summary of research on the relationship between breakfast and student outcomes; an overview of the SBPP, including a review of the conceptual model for understanding the pilot project; a summary of the findings in the interim report on Year 1 findings, and a description of the purpose and contents of this final report.

Download or read book Food Literacy written by Helen Vidgen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.
