The Teacher's Guide project is based on a theory of 'stepping stone-education.' Pediatric Nutrition Notes provides essential information. The case-based modules that follow permit teachers to present and discuss material developed for resident and physician education. The modules were developed for use by non-expert teachers as well as by physicians and residents for self-learning and CME credits.
The Teacher's Guide consists of five parts beginning with Pediatric Nutrition Notes, a primer written originally for 3rd year medical students. The Notes provide the essential language of nutrition as well as a matrix into which subsequent learning can be fit. The Guide continues with Introductions on "How to", including assess diet and nutritional status and provid guidance. An Obesity Cycle follows. It includes eight sections on obesity including its genetic, social, and cultural origins, prevention, assessment and treatment tools, and a handout for parents on healthy weight gain through the life cycle. Part IV of the Guide, Teaching Modules, is an eight section set of teaching modules based on nutrition related disorders, developed to address various medical conditions with important nutritional contributions as they occur through the human life cycle -- neonatal, early infancy, later infancy, toddler and pre-school, etc. The final part, Part V, Evaluation provides tools with which to design and evaluate active learning projects.
