Teaching about Food Resource Management
The primary teaching materials related to the topic of Food Resource Management for limited income
adults in WNEP is the “Money for Food” Curriculum. Teaching resources, including lesson plans with
activities, handouts and posters that are described and available to print from the Family Living Programs
Resource Database which can be accessed from the WNEP website. Go to the following URL (please note
that this url is password protected) and look for teaching resources for WNEP under team, teaching topic,
collections or audience categories: https://www.uwex.edu/ces/flp/apps/flrc/tch_res2/browse.cfm
NOTE: Money for Food curriculum is a complete collection of 12 lessons for teaching the majority of food
resource management topics in WNEP. Other resources that teach the same content and moves learners
toward the same learner objectives could be used in place of Money for Food lessons and activities. If this is
done please use the post-lesson Evaluation question(s) from MFF that are appropriate for the content taught.
Collecting Evaluation Data
Procedures:
Each of the lessons in the Money for Food Curriculum includes one to three end-of-session evaluation
questions. The questions are designed to be asked orally of the group of adults who just completed the
lesson. At the conclusion of each lesson, the Educator is to ask the end-of-session questions appropriate to
the lesson. Learners can be asked to respond to the questions by a show of hands, a verbal vote, or a simple
paper ballot system. The Educator then records the responses onto the appropriate Form. If two or more
lessons are taught during a session, complete the evaluation at the end of each lesson.
Human Subjects protection:
The end of session evaluation questions that are designed for this evaluation project are intended to be asked
of all willing adults who participated in the lesson being evaluated.
Before asking the end of session evaluation questions, say the following to the learners:
“I am going to ask you a question that will help us see what you have learned today. You do
not have to answer the question if you don’t want to. All of your answers will be private.”
Do not record individual learner’s names on evaluation forms or questions. Do not share individual answers
or comments made by the learners with other teachers or staff.
Data Entry
Evaluation data related to the questions for the Statewide Evaluation Project on Food Resource Management
will be entered into directly into the WNEP client statistics/teaching events database.
