The Pork Checkoff worked with curriculum specialists at Young Minds Inspired to create the "Go Lean with Protein" supplement, which is available in a digital format at Pork4Kids.com. In addition to student-focused activities, the curriculum offers information for parents, including a kid-friendly recipe for Caramel Apple Pork Chops.
"Young Minds Inspired, which helped develop the "Step Up to a Healthier You" curriculum, is a great resource for the Pork Checkoff," Rodemeyer says. "They work with many teacher consultants and gather a lot of feedback, so they understand the types of educational materials that today's teachers want."
Based on teacher surveys, 97 percent of the teachers who received the "Go Lean with Protein" supplement report that they have used or plan to use the program. More than two-thirds plan to share the program with other educators, and 98 percent said they would be interested in receiving educational materials of this nature in the future.
