| 1 | RD Coaching: Making Big Strides with Small Steps
Katie Brown, EdD,RD,LD
In 2007 the American Dietetic Association Foundation and a group of professionals
ready to think "outside the box" formed a coalition to design the blueprint for RD
Nutrition Coaches in schools. When they partnered with the American Council for
Fitness and Nutrition Foundation (ACFN) and PE4Life, the Healthy Schools
Partnership (HSP) was born. The HSP program is funded through a grant by ACFN as
part of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF). |
| 3 | Healthy Schools Partnership and RD Coaching: A Closer Look
Stephanie Howard, MPH, RD, LD
The RD Coaches working with the Healthy
Schools Partnership (HSP) will tell you that
their job is multi-faceted, high-paced, everchanging,
and most importantly, rewarding.
Many registered dietitians (RD) consider
themselves "coaches" to their clients and
patients, and in the Healthy Schools
Partnership, weekly individual coaching sessions
are a cornerstone to the program.
These one-on-one interactions allow RDs to
address individual barriers to change for
each student and to praise even the smallest
improvements. Positive encouragement from
the RD Coach when the students choose the
"Power Pick" foods offered in the cafeteria
also provides a unique opportunity for
coaching in the school setting. |

| 6 | Calorically Dense Infant
Formulas Using Household
Measurements
Deb Hustler MS, RD, LD, Liesje Neiman Carney RD, CSP, LDN
These recipes were designed for home use
by families and caregivers. The intention is to
use these recipes when an infant formula
greater than 20 calories per ounce is indicated,
and when a larger volume or daily supply
of formula is to be made using measuring
cups (rather than using scoops provided in
the product can). |
