  1. Welcome Facilitators! • Today we will: • Prepare you to lead six courses in home cooking • Provide tips for success in leading the classes • Review the course materials • Discuss planning and promoting your cooking class series

  2. Reviewing the Course Plan • On each tab, you will see the following: • Learning Objectives – An overview of the topics covered in the course. • Lesson Handouts – A list of documents with additional information and recipes. Print enough handouts for each person in the class. • Needed for the Class – A checklist of items needed to conduct the class. • Hands-On Option – This optional activity can be conducted depending on your time and resources. • Course Plan: • Spiral pad presents the material for six cooking courses • Courses are separated by tabs • A CD provides handouts including recipes for each class • A DVD with video clips • Materials are available at heart.org/homecooking (This website is only for Facilitators. Do not share the website with your class.)

  3. Description of the Courses • Six Courses in Home Cooking: • Kitchen Essentials: Learn how to set up a productive home kitchen • Cooking Basics: Discover techniques and terms to make following a recipe easier • Kitchen Cents: Receive instructions for preparing a healthy, budget-friendly meal • You’ve got it Made: Experience the ease of meals prepared in the slow cooker • Meals on the Run: Learn recipes and ideas for eating a healthy breakfast in a hurry • Here’s to the Cook: Learn techniques and receive a menu for preparing a full celebration dinner • Courses are color coded so the tabs in the spiral match the art on the handouts

  4. Course Plan Overview • Each course is designed as a discussion guide: • Red, italic text tells you what to do and when, for example when to pass out the handouts or play/pause the video • Questions are provided to encourage class participation and discussion • Time estimates help the keep the class on schedule • A fun homework assignment is provided at the end of each class

  5. Video Clips • A short video clip is provided for each course • Videos demonstrate cooking techniques that would be difficult to show in an office conference room • No voice over because the intent was to keep the class live and engaging • Course plan provides you with talking points so that they can speak to what is being shown on the video • All videos are on the DVD with the blue label

  6. Course Hand Outs • Class hand outs are provided for each course • Print enough handouts for everyone in the class • Handouts include recipes, cooking tips (such as Tips for Perfect Muffins), and reference items (cooking temperatures for meat) • The final class offers participants a Certificate of Completion • Color coded to match the tab for each course • The first course, Kitchen Essentials, introduces the Recipe Binder • Class participants are encouraged to purchase an inexpensive, three-ring binder to organize the class handouts and recipes shared by their classmates • By the end of the cooking series, the participants will have a start to their very own, inexpensive, customized cookbook • Also available at heart.org.homecooking

  7. Planning & Promoting Your Class • Start Eating Healthy Day, the first Wed. in Nov. • Schedule classes after work or during lunch breaks • Reserve your space and equipment • Check the list of items needed • Consider whether you will perform the Hands-On Option • Use the Promotional Flyer on the CD to add the details for your class and post the around your office • An e-mail template is also provided with suggested language • Leverage internal communications tools such as e-newsletters

  8.
