Join like-minded Secondary FOOD TECHNICIANS and TEACHING ASSISTANTS for this one-day course to share best practice, top tips and great ideas when working in the food room.
We are providing a one-day training course for food technicians and support staff. These are practical, hands-on training days providing the skills and resources for secondary schools, with opportunities for discussion.
Programme for the day
The day will consist of a combination of information, discussion, practical tasks and hands on learning:
-What’s your role as a technician?
-What’s happening in food teaching and how will this affect your role?
-Working alongside the teacher to ensure that the room is safe to work in – know about the key systems and processes needed.
-Working alongside the teacher to deliver practical lessons – smooth operations! Setting up practical lessons, demonstrations, tasting, testing and food investigations, practical exams. For example, ingredients provision, supervising equipment, knowing when to intervene, what to do if…….?
-Providing support to small groups and individuals so that all abilities succeed in achieving quality end products
Everyone who comes gets access to a digital course folder with all the presentations, useful handouts and resources. This includes a technician’s guide, health and safety systems, logs and checklists.
Benefits of the training
-Develop awareness of the role of the Technician / TA in a practical food area.
-Provide useful and up-to-date information to enable that the correct procedures are followed and quality teaching is maintained.
-Provide an opportunity for personal reflection in order to ultimately support teaching staff and students as effectively as possible.
What Technicians say about their day:
“The course excelled in covering Health and Safety and the new Food and Nutrition requirements. I was also very impressed with the presentation pack to refer to later.”
“It was a really useful event meeting others in the same position as oneself. The course was very informative and will help me a lot in the near future.”
Your presenter
Jill Oliver (Food Teachers Centre Ambassador)
I have been a Teacher of Food for over 24 years and Head of Dept for 8 or those years and have been involved in many projects both online and face to face offered by the Food Teachers Centre since becoming an Ambassador in 2017.
Taking early retirement, I have successfully supported secondary schools in mentoring food teachers improve their teaching. I have also had short term supply contracts in schools where the department has been left with no food teacher to get the y11 groups through their GCSE. I am also involved in delivering practical food lessons to primary groups. I firmly believe all students should have the experience of high-quality practical food lessons as this is a life skill once learnt will be always used.
I have a great passion and love to share my experience with teachers coming into this exciting area of the National Curriculum. My aim is to support teachers and build their confidence in teaching practical food sessions.
