"Competence includes “knowledge, skills, abilities, and traits,” and is
considered a key determinant of professional performance. Being the only
professional organization focused solely on nutrition education — as a
practice, as a rich area of scholarship and research, and as a focus for
policy advocacy — it makes sense for SNEB to be a leader in the
development of nutrition education competencies. Our highly relevant
nutrition educator competencies provide a useful checklist for
practitioners, academics making curricular decisions, and researchers
evaluating program impacts domestically and globally. They reflect a
consistent need to understand not only emerging science about diet and
health and motivations and skills needed for behavior change but also
the complex and intertwined influences that families, communities, food
systems and policy on food decision-making. Further, they are consistent
with SNEB’s mission, which calls on practitioners, researchers,
academics, and advocates to promote equity and support public and
planetary health." Participants will learn briefly about the genesis and
development of the competencies, ideas on how to use and apply the
competencies for their personal growth and for their work; and upcoming
events.

The SNEB Nutrition Educator webinar is going on now.

These are the slides that we are going over (attached).

I'm happy to host a discussion on them related to application in Malawi
later if there is interest.
