Teaching Project Review
Topic
The topic I have selected is adequate sleep hygiene for college age students.
Portion distortion is the focus of this teaching project. This project aims to teach the importance of maintaining a healthy weight throughout the lifespan, and the physical application of its culmination through the reading and selecting of appropriate servings for foods.
Rationale
Prepackaged grocery items, snack foods, and restaurant meals are all presented to the consumer in larger quantities than in the past. These growing quantities parallel an increase in consumption and percentage of the population that is overweight or obese. As an unhealthy weight increases an individual’s risk for chronic disease, it is important that individuals become more aware of how their consumption impacts their overall health and longevity.
This is an important topic because many college students do not receive adequate sleep, whether it be from studying all night cramming before a test, poor time management, or lack of parental guidance. Poor sleep habits can affect the student’s physical, mental and emotional health in addition to resulting in poor grades.
Target Audience
The intended target audience of this teaching project was identified as college students. In preparing this project, new college freshman who are living independently for the first time are the most appropriate learners. Individuals of both sexes, varying developmental stages, and diverse cultural backgrounds are welcome. The individuals are between 18 and 24 years of age, transitioning from adolescence into adulthood, and new to living independently.
The intended audience for this topic is college students, regardless of gender and inclusive to a variety of ages. The developmental stage of Intimacy vs. Isolation was primarily considered. The age group of college students is varied but stressors such as course load, exposure to increased social activities, and challenges of time management are all experienced by college students, regardless of age, culture, and gender.
The target is anyone. There are people who have not experienced physical domestic violence but there are certainly people who know someone that has been in an abusive relationship
SMART Goals
The learner will be able to: identify an increased risk for two health conditions as a result of poor sleep hygiene at the end of the presentation.
At the end of a 1 hour information session presented to college freshman, >75% of all learners will be able to write down the individual serving restraint and the total servings per container on 10 different foods, by using provided food nutrition labels, with an overall quiz accuracy of >80%.
The learner will be able to Identify signs of domestic abuse.

2 KEY POINTS: Support 2 Smart Goals
Vaccines have successfully eradicated multiple diseases. They offer protection against modern diseases, while also offering prevention to other factors. Vaccines also prevent the chance of spreading the disease to others, this is known as herd immunity. This is beneficial for populations that are unable to get the vaccine (CDC, 2016).

Understanding portion control begins with knowing both the individual serving restraint and total servings per package. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (2020) encourages consumers to “pay attention to the serving size, especially how many servings there are in the food package”, even suggesting to “ask yourself if you are consuming ½ serving, 1 serving, or more”. Beginning the lesson with this basic skill, and providing an environment to practice, the teaching project creates food literacy where everyone can communicate.

According to Healthy People 2020, portion distortion is pertinent to overall health because individuals that support and manage a healthy weight are less likely to develop chronic disease, experience complications during pregnancy, and die at an earlier age. Obesity in children and adolescents, and adults, are two recognized Leading Health Indicators (LHIs) for 2020 recognized by HealthyPeople.gov. These Leading Health Indicators, in connection to the lifespan, address one its overarching goals to “promote quality life, healthy development, and health behaviors across all life stages”.
According to research getting less sleep puts a person at greater risk for developing health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and other serious life-threatening conditions. Healthy People supports this topic because of its threat to a person’s overall health and the fact that 1 in 3 adults do not get enough sleep.

How to Evaluate First SMART Objective:
At the end of a 1 hour information session presented to college freshman, a 10 item quiz will be administered. Each item will include the image of a different nutrition label. The learners will be prompted to write both the single serving requirement, and the total servings per container for each food. The learner will use the nutrition label provided to deduce the information. When reviewing the quizzes, 1 point will be awarded for each entry, with a goal of >80% accuracy. If >75% of participants scored >80% on the quiz, the SMART objective was achieved.

How to Evaluate First SMART Objective:
In order to determine if the goal was met for the first smart goal, a survey will be implemented to all participants of the target audience. The criteria will include if any bullying or harassment has been witnessed or experienced. I expect that 95 % of all participants document accurate encounters of bullying or harassment. Re-teaching will be implemented in the importance of observing and speaking out against bullying.

How to Evaluate Second SMART Objective:
At the end of a 1 hour information session presented to college freshman, all learners will be welcome to select refreshments from a food table. On the table will be 3 snack foods, all in their original packaging. These snack foods will all have nutritional labels defining their serving size by number of pieces (as opposed to weight or volume restrictions alone). Examples of such foods may be crackers, cookies, chips, and/or candies. Hospitality staff with monitor and record each individual’s type of refreshment selected, and total number of pieces taken. This data will be compared to the individual serving size identified for each food. If >50% of learners chose 1 individual serving or less for each snack food they selected, the SMART objective was achieved.

How to Evaluate Second SMART Objective: In order to determine if the goal was met for the second smart goal, mock scenarios will be implemented to all participants of the target audience. The criteria will include whether or not the participants are able to recognize signs of abuse and the effects of all individuals involved. I expect that 95 % of all participants will pick up scenarios in which bullying is happening and the effects that an individual may have as a result. Re-teaching will be implemented on the effects of bullying and harassment has on all of the individuals involved.
