Who We Are:
FoodCorps partners with schools and communities to nourish kids’ health, education, and sense of belonging so that every child, in every school, experiences the joy and power of food. Our AmeriCorps members serve alongside educators and school nutrition leaders to provide kids with nourishing meals, food education, and culturally affirming experiences with food that celebrate and nurture the whole child. Building on this direct service, FoodCorps advocates for policy change, grows networks, and develops leaders in service of every kid’s health and wellbeing. Our goal is that by 2030, every child will have access to food education and nourishing food in school!
How We Work:
At FoodCorps we are intentional about how we do our work, and how we show up in the world. We practice being in charge of accessing, feeding, and evolving our worldviews. We connect with our history, own our flaws, evolve our biases, and deepen our understanding of ourselves. We are willing to hold ourselves and others accountable with care through courageous conversations while celebrating diversity, embracing complexity, and building belonging. We recognize that we do not have all of the answers, we create space for divergent perspectives. We are intentional and collaborative about shifting power, access, and resources to those most impacted by systemic oppression.
What We’re Looking For:
We are seeking an experienced educator who is able to bring our new curriculum vision to life, while also supporting the training on the new curriculum and site observations to ensure that curriculum is taught with fidelity by FoodCorps Members. We are looking for an educator that understands the nuances of crafting lesson plans that are teacher-friendly and digestible for internalization by educators with varying skill levels. We are also looking for a team member who understands the importance of incorporating vocabulary strategies for key words in each lesson and embedding literacy rich moments through cross-curriculum texts and content. The Manager of Curriculum and Content is ultimately responsible for ensuring that FoodCorps instructional tools and resources are high quality, up-to-date, and aligned with research-based best practices while remaining accessible to educators of varying levels. As they lead the development, rollout and ongoing revision of curriculum and resources, they will also support training and alignment towards high fidelity/quality implementation so that we can evaluate the effectiveness of various content in advancing FoodCorps’ student outcomes.
