ProStart Resources for Educators and Students

9/14/2020

Educator Resources

ProStart Curriculum
Are you interested in transitioning to a CTE culinary program? ProStart® curriculum, hands on training, and experiences benefit your students as they learn how to choose items and make creative menus based on nutrition and budget, utilize safe sanitation techniques, and discover and practice important job readiness and ‘soft skills.’ These skills include communication, teamwork and decision-making, all while learning about the multiple high opportunity / high wage careers the food service industry offers.

“Foundations of Restaurant Management and Culinary Arts” was developed by subject-matter experts and is published by the NRAEF. The two levels of the curriculum – Level One and Level Two – are not designed to be sequential; this makes it possible for small schools with limited resources to offer the ProStart program to students. 

  • For general information, download the ProStart Overview. 
  • The Teacher's Resource Kit includes easy-to-follow steps for implementing the program and establishing outreach activities.
  • Detailed lesson plans help you prepare with a minimum amount of time and effort.
  • Videos and power points for each chapter are helpful supplementary materials
  • Case studies and professional profiles accompany each chapter, aligning content with real-world examples.
  • 2nd edition curriculum entitled "Foundations of Restaurant Management and Culinary Arts" includes online e-text access, allowing online access outside the classroom. Learn more about the new curriculum.
  • ODE culinary requirements and ProStart curriculum
  • Sample pacing guide of ProStart curriculum
​

This course is fitting for students who are working in the industry and wish to take their career to the next level. For more information on this new, innovative program please visit Servsuccess.com.
  • August Escoffier School of Culinary Arts is offering ProStart Teachers free video lessons to enhance your students’ e-learning experience!
  • Rouxbe, an ACF recognized, online culinary program has created an integrated high school platform that allows educators to assign video lessons, assignments and exams all in one place. For more information email Irina Bakun with the Oregon Hospitality Foundation.
  • Chef Brian Peffley has created a library of baking videos for his students and is sharing these videos with ProStart educators around the country to use for their classrooms 
  • ACF has been a long supporter of the ProStart, students and educators. In response to the pandemic and schools switching to distance learning, the Harrisburg Chapter has created a video library for teachers, broken down by topic. New videos are added regularly.
