Food & Nutrition and Culinary Arts @ Riverbank High School

I am a Family Consumer Science Teacher (formerly known as Home Economics). I currently teach Food and Nutrition and Culinary Arts at a public high school in the Central Valley. My misson statement is to teach my students about food systems, an awarness of food and its connectedness to become better eaters through out thier lives. I strive to teach this by choosing local foods, planting and maintaining a garden, bringing in memebers in the community who are active in food justice, and teaching them to cook for themselves and thier families. I currently use some of the Edible Schoolyard Currlicum, Slow Foods, Seed Life Skills, and any thing else I can find that shares these values.
