In Defense of Food Summative Evaluation Report: Educator engagement with and reflections on the In Defense of Food curriculum

January 1, 2017 | Media and Technology, Public Programs, Informal/Formal Connections
As part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) funding for the In Defense of Food project directed by Kikim Media, the independent evaluation firm Knight Williams Inc.1 conducted a summative evaluation of the project’s key deliverables, which included: a PBS television broadcast program, an outreach effort, and an educational curriculum. This report (Study 3 of 3) considers the In Defense of Food curriculum and, in particular, educators’ reactions to the curriculum in terms of perceived appeal, ease of implementation, and learning value. Feedback was gathered from educators who were surveyed about their use and assessment of the materials
