As a teacher, you have the opportunity to share the knowledge you have gained in this course with your colleagues to support a collaborative approach to shared health, nutrition, and safety goals. For your Final Project, you will create a presentation for other educators in your center that is focused on the development of a program valuing health, nutrition, and safety.

For this presentation, imagine you are part of a team of teachers at an early childcare setting working toward accreditation through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). As part of this lengthy process, you have been tasked with the creation of a professional development training for teachers focused on enhancing effective health, nutrition, and safety practices at your center. Use the knowledge you have gained in this course, as well as practical application and research to support your presentation.

You can be creative for this project, but you must include the following:
