Cooking Teacher Curriculum Set Overview

Adapted for older learners, inclusive classrooms, and diverse teaching needs.

Our Teacher Curriculum Set is a comprehensive cooking education kit designed for instructors working with older teens, adult learners, special needs adults, or mixed-age cooking groups. It mirrors the structure of our Kids Curriculum Set with thoughtful updates to language, tone, and recipe selection to better suit a more mature audience.

Key Adaptations Include:

• Age-neutral language: Terms such as kids or children have been replaced throughout with inclusive alternatives suitable for adult and teen learners.
• Flexible learning groups: Instead of age-based divisions, the program uses skill-based titles:
  • Assistant Chef
  • Chef in Training
  • Junior Chef
  • Senior Chef
• Modified recipes: Some recipes have been adjusted for audience appropriateness.
  Example: “Spider Crackers” have been replaced with “Cracker Stacks.”

Notes on Included Materials:

Some visual materials (e.g., printable posters or website-linked content) may still display the word kids due to branding or age-specific designations. These include:

• Any links back to our Kids Cooking Activities website
• Our official logo, which still includes the word kids

Despite this, all content has been updated and adapted for broader use while maintaining the same educational value, step-by-step lessons, and hands-on engagement.
