Jr./High School Foods classes in Alberta

The Beef in the Classroom program includes a complete kit of teaching materials about beef: exams, activities, overheads. The kit is $66. It was developed under Alberta Learning and is curriculum approved for food classes that contain a meat module.

Beef in Class Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) encourages teachers to order this resource to make teaching about beef as easy as possible and to pass along the most pertinent and up-to-date information on the cattle industry.

In Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Grand Prairie, Red Deer, Leduc, Airdrie, Okotoks, St. Albert, etc. (major urban centres) the program is delivered by a professional dietician.

The dietician will go into the classroom and personally deliver the beef segment. The session also includes a beef cooking demonstration. For more information contact the ABP office at abppromo@albertabeef.org.

Teachers

Recipes and PencilsIn every subject there are reasons to talk about beef or the cattle industry. If you would like to incorporate a beef message into your teaching, ABP has pencils, stickers, tattoos, nutrition pamphlets, industry statistics, fact sheets, etc. that can give any subject a little kick! Contact abppromo@albertabeef.org with a description of the class size and subject matter you are teaching.

Nutritional Seminars

If there is an event, conference, seminar, etc. that requires a Dietitian or Home Economist to perform a beef presentation, ABP can help. Contact abppromo@albertabeef.org to discuss.
