Our commitment to culturally responsive teaching practices ensures ākonga can celebrate their cultural heritage within a safe and inclusive learning environment. Our resources provide opportunities for ākonga to bring their prior knowledge and cultural backgrounds into the classroom, where they can be shared and celebrated. In doing so, we create a rich, multicultural dialogue around food that acknowledges cultural diversity, honors Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and strengthens community bonds.
Our resources are crafted with input from Nutritionists and Eating Disorder Mental Health Specialists, ensuring they are evidence-based and sensitive to young people's needs. Our approach actively avoids guilt/shame narratives as this language has been shown to be harmful, particularly for minoritised students and those experiencing food insecurity. We focus on fostering a balanced relationship with food by promoting its positive role in community building and self-discovery. By empowering ākonga with the gift of food literacy, we encourage informed food choices that support positive body image development.
At EATucation, we believe that cooking is a universal language that embraces diversity. We aspire to empower all neurodivergent ākonga by helping them find their unique recipe for success!
All our resources are compatible with text-to-speech tools and can be read aloud to students. We also use neurodivergent-friendly fonts and have supportive word and page spacing and formatting to support reading and ākonga accessibility.
Our Year 7 & 8 units provide schools with everything they need to deliver school-wide food education! EATucation’s ready-made resources draw on our Food Literacy Framework to support classroom kaiako in providing their ākonga with life-extending food literacy by bridging various curriculum areas through the engaging context of food education. Our classroom-based units foster food literacy and resilience by integrating the Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Social Studies, Health, and Arts curriculums, allowing food literacy to be woven into each subject and classroom.
These classroom-based units create a foundation that can be strengthened through our practical units, which support Food Technology, Home Economics, and Food & Nutrition teachers when students spend time with them on their specialist subject rotations.
We will introduce new units each year to keep our content fresh and relevant.
