  11. Where we are now:Multidisciplinary teams will develop a research-based food safety education training module. Training Module • How teachers teach - children • How trainers train teams (director/teacher/parent)

  12. Goal 1: Children will demonstrate improved food safety practices in the classroom. • Knowledge • Skill • Attitude
