The reminder that culinary students can be very limited in their skills when it comes to performance is a good reminder and to not take anything for granted.

Asking students to photograph their food when dining out is a great idea. They should also be takiogn pictures of their cooking assignments in the classroom. 

Be as detailed as you can with yourt grading. There are so many details to cooking a recipe properly, that you should be grading many contact points to give a thorough evaluation of the skill. 

The academic courses are just as important as the techincal courses and need a different approach to teach these classes effectively and get the buy-in. 

Students all learn in vastly different ways. Offer as may ways to learn as possible through lecture, demonstrating, videos, and hands on to provide the most retention techniques.  

The reminder that culinary students can be very limited in their skills when it comes to performance expectations is a good reminder. 

The tip about asking students to photograph their food when dining out is a great idea, one that I will use in the future.

The idea of using cell phones to capture memories of what students eat when they travel or try something new was something I did not think about before. I could incorporate this idea into my classroom next year.

I found the methods in which students may be graded on interesting. There are so many ways to grade students in the culinary classroom. I didn't really think about portion sizes, food waste, etc. Might give me new ideas for a future lab. 

What we do in the family and consumer sciences classroom is extended learning from core subjects. We incorporate many core subjects into our one class such as culinary.

I found it interesting the idea of work ethic may or may not be taught. I think that it is important to reinforce positive work ethic traits and provide feedback in the culinary classroom. This will help show and model the type of behavior that is required in the professional kitchen. 

Teaching or expounding on prior learning in the areas of writing, math and psychology is just as important for the culinary student as skills in the kitchen. Understanding how to be polished and grow the mind can help in their advancement.
