TIF Short Set Modules
Carving out large blocks of time for training can be challenging, therefore 10 mini-units called Short Sets on topics covered in the K-12 Culinary workshops were developed to aide in providing effective training in a short amount of time.
- Each Short Set can be presented in 15 minutes.
- Presenting a Short Set involves Planning and Presenting.
-
Each Short Set has a “Plan It” page which identifies supplies, location, key talking points and resources needed and a Certificate of Completion. Each Short Set also includes other types of instructional resources (e.g, handouts, VAVs, videos), however, it varies by topic.
-
Teach it Forward (TIF) handouts are printable materials that may be used with the TIF Short Sets, other Culinary Continuing Education, as well as stand‐alone resources for program assessment or improvement.
-
These short videos include “How To's” on common kitchen activities that will improve quality of food production and productivity and videos that illustrate how to make several of the new recipes in the style of the “Tasty” videos. These videos may be viewed independently or as part of a Short Set module.
