This bill, "The National School Lunch and Child Nutrition Amendments of 1977," focused on providing nutrition education to school children and teachers and on providing both nutrition education and training in principles and practices of food service management to school food service personnel. The Oklahoma State Department of Education established a Nutrition Education and Training Program to meet the purposes of the 1977 law. Program staff developed a statewide plan for achieving the goals of the legislation which was funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service. Phase One of the plan included the development of a guide for use by school teams in integrating nutrition education into the curriculum. As a first step toward the development of the guide, the department contracted with Oklahoma State University to hold a workshop for the development of a working elementary curriculum guide framework. In December of 1978, the workshop participants, which included Nutrition Education and Training Program staff, State Department of Education Curriculum and Instruction Specialists, Child Nutrition Program Consultants, elementary classroom teachers, and college nutrition instructors, met in Stillwater to accomplish the workshop's goal. An interim guide was produced as a "working book" to be used in the next phase of the state's plan. The second phase of the program was a series of training courses that were held at six Oklahoma universities and conducted by the college instructors who participated in the December workshop. Each class included approximately five elementary school "pilot" teams. Each team included an administrator, a parent, a school food service representative, and classroom.teachers. In addition to receiving basic nutrition information, strategies for curriculum integration were discussed and demonstrated and a copy of the interim guide was given to each participant. The teams developed plans and then implemented nutrition education programs in their local schools. The recommendations made regarding the effectiveness of the program provided information for the revision and expansion of the guide. Creative Nutrition Education, An Integrated Approach is the culmination of much time, effort, and thought. Based on the concepts developed at the 1969 White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health, the guide's scope is divided into five areas of interest Kindergarden through Grade 3 and Reading/Language
