New Resource: FRAC and AFT Launch “The Breakfast Blueprint”

8.14.2017 The Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) and the American Federation of Teachers recently partnered to hear from nearly 600 teachers, paraprofessionals, custodians, school health professionals, and food service workers. The diverse experiences and perspectives heard from have been used to inform the Breakfast Blueprint, a new guide with resources and best practices for implementing breakfast after the bell programs.

The guide features:

• an overview of research on the impact of hunger on learning and the benefits of school breakfast;
• step-by-step questions to develop a district plan;
• recommendations for how to choose the best model(s) and evaluation metrics; and
• features some of the best practices being implemented across the country.

 

The Breakfast Blueprint is designed to meet the needs of schools and districts, regardless of whether they are starting a new breakfast model or looking to improve their existing model. Explore the Breakfast Blueprint online, and share it with your networks if the resource will be helpful to them.
