Résumé
Consistent with the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Approach, food education encompasses nutritional status, culture, community, environment, and society. Unifying standards are needed to support food education integration in K-12 curricula. Pilot Light, a Chicago-based nonprofit, sought to generate such standards. This study reports a formative evaluation research process that led to the development of Food Education Standards (FES). Nine FES were drafted within the context of the National Health Education Standards. The 2-day Pilot Light Food Education Summit convened 26 experts and community members to review draft FES. A facilitated, consensus-building process generated refined FES and K-12 competencies. Drawing on Summit outcomes and expert feedback, a team of teachers subsequently drafted final FES. Summit participants completed pre- and post-Summit surveys to assess changes in food education priorities. The initial 9 FES were refined to 7. Comparison data indicated shifts in endorsed priorities for food education, moving from prioritizing specific knowledge, such as "categorizing food into food groups," toward "students having a conscious decision-making process around food." Developed with input from experts across multidisciplinary fields, the evidence-based Pilot Light FES can be feasibly implemented in multiple subjects across all school types and community socio-demographic levels.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Consistent with the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Approach, food education encompasses nutritional status, culture, community, environment, and society. Unifying standards are needed to support food education integration in K-12 curricula. Pilot Light, a Chicago-based nonprofit, sought to generate such standards. This study reports a formative evaluation research process that led to the development of Food Education Standards (FES).
METHODS
METHODS
Nine FES were drafted within the context of the National Health Education Standards. The 2-day Pilot Light Food Education Summit convened 26 experts and community members to review draft FES. A facilitated, consensus-building process generated refined FES and K-12 competencies. Drawing on Summit outcomes and expert feedback, a team of teachers subsequently drafted final FES. Summit participants completed pre- and post-Summit surveys to assess changes in food education priorities.
RESULTS
RESULTS
The initial 9 FES were refined to 7. Comparison data indicated shifts in endorsed priorities for food education, moving from prioritizing specific knowledge, such as "categorizing food into food groups," toward "students having a conscious decision-making process around food."
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Developed with input from experts across multidisciplinary fields, the evidence-based Pilot Light FES can be feasibly implemented in multiple subjects across all school types and community socio-demographic levels.
