Introduction
We hope that you have been continuing to take FCS skills and knowledge to the streets as an individual, within your AAFCS affiliate or community, or with an FCS allied organization. Some of you may be continuing your focus on obesity prevention through our newly developed community while others are poised to work on this new and very important topic.
TIS has been working with the Community of FERM to provide you with useful resources. Please check the listings of exciting resources, including the ongoing 2013 Framework of Resources. It includes all-in-one resources, grants, and professional development. We need information on related training and PowerPoint presentations, grants, and best practices ideas from teachers for our curriculum section. Please submit any resources you might have to be considered for the framework. Visit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvaNaMWTmXJ2dFNRRXp5bjVTRVdpMkFTb2NLNnVTMEE
We will soon be adding information on related research and will be urging you to submit information in this area as well.
Note: TIS is a Community that empowers members and partners to act on a current issue of concern as a profession within the same time frame, bringing visibility to the profession and putting related resources all in one place.
Questions? Suggestions? Interested in involvement this year and/or in the proposed community? Contact Marilyn Swierk at msinnovate@aol.com, or Mary Behrendt at m_behrendt@cfmtschools.net.
