About ENC-Teacher Exchange
ENC-Teacher Exchange shines the light on K thru 12th grade educators who teach lifestyle choices that effectively combat obesity. In addition to spotlighting outstanding teachers in video stories, which we hope serve to inspire others, we also encourage teachers to create new teaching tools and methods to combat obesity, and reward them for doing so with a modest honorarium. ENC-Teacher Exchange was created in 2012 by Egg Nutrition Center, science division of The American Egg Board.

ENC-Teacher Exchange was introduced early in 2012 by Egg Nutrition Center, science division of The American Egg Board, to pay tribute and shine more light on teachers in America's 134,000 schools that embrace new and more effective programs that encourage young people to embrace regular physical activity and healthier food choices.
Spotlighting health and nutrition educators who find innovative and effective ways to combat obesity is the first of two primary goals of ENC-Teacher Exchange, and we often do that by way of video feature stories. The other goal is to encourage more teachers to create new and better methods for conveying the many benefits of a healthier lifestyle to young people, and we begin to do that by offering a $500 honorarium to teachers who produce "publishable" teaching tools related to obesity that they're willing to share on this web site.

"Teachers tell us they have a constant need for easily accessible lesson plans, PowerPoints, and other teaching tools that inspire kids to grasp the full benefits of a healthier lifestyle," explains Mitchell Kanter, PhD., Executive Director of Egg Nutrition Center. "We'd like to help facilitate that creative process, and invite teachers to share their best ideas with us to develop new programs that other teachers can use in their classroom."
