Wisconsin Nutrition Education Database
The Wisconsin Nutrition Education Database is designed to seamlessly integrate nutrition education into everyday classroom activities and learning outcomes. By gathering reliable, high-quality nutrition curricula in one central resource and aligning them with core subjects like science, the database makes it easier for educators to include nutrition concepts without adding extra lessons or demands on limited classroom time. The ultimate goal is to ensure more children receive meaningful nutrition education that supports the development of lifelong healthy habits. It is well-established that nutrition education plays a vital role in promoting students’ health, well-being, and academic success. This Database is a continual work in progress with more lessons and subjects being added over time.
The database will request that you make a template to ensure you can use the search features. We recommend bookmarking this landing page so that you always have the most up to date information.
If you need accommodations when using this database, please reach out to dpif2s@dpi.wi.gov and we would be happy to help.
