Differentiated Instruction: This course is designed to define Differentiated Instruction and demonstrate how educators can get excited about meeting the needs of the varied individuals in their classrooms. I will instruct the classroom teacher on simple ways to start differentiating today as well as more advanced techniques that might require a little more up-front planning. Depending on an individual's comfort level, an abundance of ideas and tools to better meet the needs of students no matter what subject matter or grade level taught will be provided. Differentiated instruction can be adapted to meet different teaching styles. There is no single formula to follow; just basic guidelines which can be implemented as comfort levels increase. I will also tackle the tough issues of managing and assessing students in a differentiated classroom. Lastly, it is my hope that as participants in this course read on and say, “Hey, I already do that”, they will realize and be encouraged by the fact that they most likely do some differentiating already by using sound instructional strategies. www.educatorcredits.com |

Speakers: Asma Ahad, Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA), Demetrios Haralambatos, Foods, Inc., Michael Lonteen, Custom Culinary
Is your recipe development team leveraging halal, a dietary set of guidelines for Muslims, as a dietary and formulation opportunity? Today, the global and local opportunity for halal prepared foods, foodservice, and menu development is currently assessed at $634 billion (US) per year, and forms 16 percent of the entire global food industry. In the U.S. alone, halal consumers spend an upward of $20 billion every year, and hold a collective purchasing power of $170 billion. This informative discussion, presented by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFNCA), will discuss how to develop halal products, understanding the full potential of including halal in menus, and how to leverage halal to differentiate your menu/products from your competitors.

Speaker: Howard Moskowitz, PhD, Moskowitz Jacobs, Inc
We stand on the threshold of continents of the mind. Knowing how people respond to the stimuli around them in everyday life lets us employ science to understand what to give to people, how to please them, and how to delight them. In this presentation Dr. Moskowitz will share his experiments on mind genomics and food. He will provide tools and ideas about how to understand just what specifically turns on your customers, and how to create those delights.
His presentation will feature a demonstration of mind genomics, done specifically for this conference on the topic of fine dining. Through easy to run studies, by probing evaluation (pricing), and by understanding emotion reactions (how do you feel when you read the vignette about dining), Dr. Moskowitz will share with the audience the magic of science, and the sheer joy of finding out just what makes the customer’s mind tick.

Speakers: Jared Benton, Ph.D. Candidate in Classical Art and Archaeology, University of Virginia, Craig "Skip" Julius, AdvancePierre Foods
Much of what we consider "modern" was actually refined and practiced by the Romans of 2,000 years ago. The archeological site of Pompeii offers us a unique snapshot into the daily life of the Roman citizen. Without modern power, how did Romans transport, store, and mill grain into flour, process dough, and bake bread to feed the 20,000 residents of Pompeii every day? What kind of bread was it? Why did the social life of Pompeii revolve around its many centrally located food courts which served a variety of hot and cold food from open kitchens? Interestingly, these kitchens are so well preserved they could be made functional in a few hours. This insightful session will explore how the food courts of Pompeii laid the groundwork for today’s modern food courts, open kitchens, and commercial bread baking.

CRT 9030 HACCP for Managers and Chefs - 10% discount for ACF members. Contact us for details.1 Credit issued through Southwestern Oregon Community College.
The drive for safer food comes, not only from the local regulations, but also from customer demand and, increasingly, litigation. As consumer awareness grows, so does empowerment to voice complaints. Every manager knows the feeling initiated when a phone call begins: “I ate at your restaurant last night, and I’ve been throwing up ever since …” We simply cannot afford to be careless. We must be well grounded in food safety systems and we must be sure that our staff shares the basic knowledge necessary to support, not sabotage, the effort.
A HACCP program offers a simple, easily measurable approach to reaching this goal. It enables key personnel to efficiently check points that offer the most critical threats to our goal of food safety. It provides the basis for a ‘reasonable care defense’ should we ever have to defend our systems in a foodborne illness outbreak. HACCP demands documentation; this documentation provides our greatest support. HACCP also provides a perfect platform for employee education. The isolation of critical points causes us to focus our learning on essential areas, making our acquired skills most protective to our food service operation. Finally, HACCP increases employee awareness of how to improve food safety systems and, ultimately, the customers’ impression of our food. With a small amount of ‘up front’ investment of time and energy, HACCP will provide a winning situation from all vantage points. www.chefcertification.com |

This course has been designed to help you reflect upon your own teaching methods and possibly offer some new ideas for you to add to your teaching palate. We hope to make this course informative as well as engaging. Your time is valuable and we want to offer practical tools for you to use in the classroom. I remember so many classes in graduate school that looked great on paper but offered no tools for me to use back in the classroom. This course is different.

The Classroom Teacher and the ELL Student: This class will be presenting the best ways to educate ELL students and to ensure that they are learning content while mastering a new language and adapting to a new home country. Our challenge as teachers is to know how to reach these students, to teach them, and to know what to do when they cannot express themselves to us. As teachers we need to help them learn to succeed so they can be productive citizens. There is much that teachers can do to awaken the power within the students to help themselves and to feel empowered.
It is important for teachers of ELL students to understand that second language learning by school-aged children is a longer, harder, more complex process than most of us have been led to believe. We need to have an accurate understanding of the process of second language learning and its relationship to acquiring other academic skills and knowledge. This class will be presenting MANY strategies that we can quickly and easily incorporate into our existing curriculum to help meet the needs of the ELL students.

Nevertheless, it will at times offer pointed criticisms of some habits and belief systems common to vegetarians. The course will review the many reasons why some people choose to be vegetarian and describe the types of vegetarian diets. The course will objectively discuss the health benefits and risks of various vegetarian regimens and present nutritional guidelines and practical menu suggestions for serving vegetarian clients. www.chefcertification.com |

What Great Teachers Do Differently: Any teacher can fill a bookshelf with books about education. Any teacher can study lists of guidelines, standards, principles, and theories. The best teachers and the worst teachers can ace exams in their undergraduate and graduate classes. The difference between more effective teachers and their less effective colleagues is not what they know. It is what they do.
This course is about what great teachers do that sets them apart. Clarifying what the best educators do, and then practicing it ourselves, can move us into their ranks.
This course is not meant to prescribe a narrow set of instructions. Instead, it frames the landscape of school from the perspective of great teachers. What do they see when they view their classrooms and the students in them? Where do they focus their attention? How do they spend their time and energy? What guides their decisions? How can we gain the same advantages?
