Show Me Nutrition Education Displays (SMNED) Guidance

Show Me Nutrition Education Displays (SMNED) Guidance

Use of SMNED in schools

The Show Me Nutrition Education Displays are designed to reach teachers and school staff. Teachers will take the information into the classroom and share with their students. With these exhibits we are “training trainers” to deliver good nutrition messages. SMNED often incorporated as part of school’s wellness policies.

Teacher lounges, etc.

·  Traditional way the displays have been delivered. Each display topic is usually placed in a school for one month.

o  NPA leaves display and school handouts at school.

o  Publication numbers for posters and handouts available on the share drive at: S:\MUCampus\HES\FNEP\Alternative delivery & special projects\Displays\SMNED\Publications numbers

·  Do not duplicate displays-displays used in other delivery approaches cannot be used at another time during the same school year (including school health fairs, Food Power, notebooks).

SMNED Teacher Notebooks

·  NPA drops off notebook to school staff and leaves for a period of time (recommended time: one month). Notebook is to be passed around by school staff.

·  NPA picks up notebook at end of designated period of time.

·  No more than 4 displays in a notebook.

·  No more than one notebook to be used in a school at a time.

·  Use graphic cover sheets available on Share drive.

·  Each display topic section should include the following:

o  Instruction sheet (with graphics) for school staff

o  Mini version of display poster (color copy)

o  Supply of 4-page handouts from Publications for that display

·  Do not duplicate displays-displays used in notebooks cannot be used at another time during the same school year (teacher lounges, school staff health fairs, Food Power).

o  Can use tracking form

·  Forms (Mini posters, cover sheets, instructions, tracking form, etc.) found on share drive at S:\MUCampus\HES\FNEP\Alternative delivery & special projects\Displays\SMNED\Notebook versions

Reporting: Use the Indirect Program Information Form (N------) to report.

·  Use one PIF per display topic.

·  List SMNED-Topic. Use titles listed on FNEP website.

·  Only teacher numbers need to be reported. Other school staff (nurses, librarians, etc.) do not need to be reported. Get school teacher numbers from the school for reporting purposes.

Use of SMNED in Food Power

• Use only SMNED displays that align with Food Power topics:

O Drink to your Health

o Facts on Fat

o Food Label

o Healthy Snacking

o Supersizing of America

o MyActivity Pyramid for Kids

o Phytonutrients

• No more than 2 displays may be showcased during Food Power exhibit.

• Display should be manned by NPA. This is also a good opportunity to answer questions or

market our other programs if we don’t have an FNEP presence in the school.

• Displays used in Food Power cannot be used at another time during the same school year.

Reporting: Do NOT use Program Information Form (N525) to report. All numbers should be captured through the Food Power Program Information Form.

Use of SMNED with Program Participants

Use of SMNED in WIC

·  Select SMNED displays that align with WIC MOWINS topics may be used (see Using SMNED Displays in WIC document).

·  Displays will be set up in WIC waiting room area (or other area designated by local WIC agency) for designated period of time.

o  Work with local WIC agency to set up display and handouts in WIC waiting room area or other designated area.

·  Displays will be unmanned and left in the WIC waiting area for a designated period of time.

o  Work with local WIC agency to determine length of time display will be set up (1 month, etc.).

·  Displays will consist of display and accompanying participant handout.

·  NPA can leave FNEP promotional materials or business cards with the display for contact information.

·  Use Consent Form - (Form 01-1Q) Family Nutrition Program (FNP/SNAPeD) Consent Form. This form must be completed prior to displays being placed in the WIC clinic.

·  Use Indirect Contacts SMNED in WIC form.

o  This form will be used for reporting purposes for each program.

o  Note WIC clinic name on the top of the form.

o  Check if FNP or EFNEP. Both will use for reporting purposes.

o  Note the dates displays were in WIC clinic on form.

·  Contacts will be captured for reporting purposes for both FNP and EFNEP.

o  This will be obtained via the Indirect Contacts SMNED in WIC form.

o  FNEP Coordinator will send a copy of the form to Karen Sherbondy. This information will be given to Rita Arni (State WIC Coordinator) and she will provide caseload information (adult participants) for indirect contact information reporting purposes.

·  NPA will be asked by WIC to sign a confidentiality form related to WIC clients (done yearly). It is recommended that this be done at the same time the Consent Form 01-1Q is signed each year.

Reporting: Indirect Contacts SMNED in WIC form is sent to Karen Sherbondy, who will complete and submit the Program Information Form. Do NOT complete a Program Information Form for WIC.

Use of SMNED in Agencies or Other Sites

SMNED displays may be used with adult program participants. Displays are to be used with corresponding participant handouts. This may be done in a variety of sites, including food pantries.

Displays are manned or unmanned and audience is not receiving a series of lessons.

Participant handouts

·  Displays may be manned or unmanned (NPA leaves display and handouts at agency).

·  Each display has a corresponding handout that aligns with the topic. This handout is to be used with the display.
