This assignment is designed to engage and integrate your imagination and creativity. Do note this assignment is worth 50 points. Your task is to design a nutrition educational experience based on the following: Work under the premise that a healthy budget and access to resources are unlimited. Give your nutritional educational experience an original name. What is the name? What is your reason for choosing this original name? Choose any geographic location and setting that you believe will be beneficial to your educational program. Remember, to explain your choice of location and setting and why you believe this physical environment will be conducive for your clients/patients. This aspect of the task evaluates whether you give thought to how physical environments impact clients/patients in terms of inspiring change. Be clear about your audience. Who is this program for? What is your chosen population or group and why? Be specific. Your group can be from a particular socio-demographic or can be a mixture. You may have a passion to work with cancer patients, teenagers, women or men of certain age etc. How does your knowledge about these individuals inform your program design and components? How will you attract your clients/patients to this educational experience (advertising, incentivizing etc.)? What are the segments/components of your educational experience? Will you have workshops, guest lectures, cooking demonstrations, one-on-one consultations? Be specific about the flow and content of your educational experience. Also, how will you infuse creativity into the program to make it a memorable and inspiring experience. Outline the nutritional protocol that you will recommend to your clients/patients. How will you use the best of nutritional research and your knowledge of your population/audience (their greatest assets and challenges) to design your nutritional protocol? Your nutrition protocol should be outlined, it does not need to be ultra-detailed. However, you should include one example meal for your clients/patients. N.B. This nutritional educational experience should be relevant for your vocation. Tailor this assignment so that it is relevant to your professional field and context (Psychology, Public Health, Speech Pathology, Medicine, Nursing, Rehabilitation Science, Marital and Family Therapy, Chaplaincy etc.). For example, if you are a Speech Pathologist then part of your nutritional educational experience may address the relationship between nutrition and communication disorders. Or if you are a Psychologist, then you may address the connection between nutrition and mental health. Remember that your imagination, innovation and creativity are key for this assignment. Your word document should not be shorter than one and a half pages (1.5 pages, double spaced). Ensure that your response to each section/bullet point is clearly delineated in the document for easy reading. Use Times new roman font, font size 12. Page margins should be 1 inch all around. Creative thinking is a skill that we encourage here at Loma Linda University. The following rubric will be utilised for this creative thinking assignment.
