NRAEF Summer Institute - Level 3

Event Description

During NRAEF Summer Institutes, educators have the opportunity to:

• Work towards earning the NRAEF Certified Secondary Foodservice Educator certification
• Learn from faculty composed of nationally-recognized content experts
• Network among peers
• Tour restaurant and foodservice facilities.

Summer Institutes provide technical and professional instruction for restaurant and foodservice educators. The goal is to provide educators with a forum to learn cutting-edge skills they can apply to the classroom and offer an opportunity to network with teachers from across the country, share best practices, tour industry establishments, and expand classroom-learning activities. These week-long, intensive workshops are delivered by industry experts at post-secondary institutions across the country.

Completion of each level offers educators 33 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) certified by the American Culinary Federation.

At the end of each workshop, participants complete an exam that tests their knowledge on the topics covered during that week’s course. Educators who pass these exams may work toward their Certified Secondary Foodservice Educator (CSFE) credential. Visit the NRAEF webpage for more information on the CSFE and how to apply.

There are three levels of Summer Institutes:

• Level 1: Basic - Begins with an overview of the restaurant and foodservice industry, and leads into kitchen and management essentials.
• Level 2: Advanced - Topics include core culinary techniques, operational excellence, and career basics.
• Level 3: Mastery - Level 3 concludes culinary techniques, before branching into timely topics like sustainability and global cuisines.

Registration will become available mid-March, 2019.
