  1. Youth Strategies Baking Class & Bake Sale Introduction to Education A.J. Shirey, Ed. D. Emily Suzanne Patten; Shelby Simon; Tori Mansell; Diana Kidde

  2. Introduction • Our group worked with the Youth Strategies Program to teach a fundamental baking class to the program participants while educating about food costs, coupons, and budgeting.

  3. Project Overview • We taught one 3-hour class with 12 participants from Youth Strategies. Our primary goal was to teach the participants the basics of baking, a valuable skill for the home and potential employment. At the same time, we expanded the participants’ awareness about cost of goods, sale items, short cuts, couponing, and how to shop within a budget. We also put together a bake sale to raise money for Youth Strategies.

  4. Timeline • September 5th- First met as a group and discussed the project. • September 6th- First contact with Mike Fohner about the project. • September-November- Met at least once a week to discuss how the project was coming along. • September 26th- Diana wrote the donation letter and dropped it off at Wal-Mart & Harps. • October 4th- Emily met with Penguin Ed’s about food donations for cooking class. • October 26th- Emily started collecting recipes. • October 27th- Shelby makes recipe cards for baking class. • October 31st- Diana put together coupon and budgeting information for baking class. • November 1st- Baking class at Jones Center for Youth Strategies from 12-3 • November 2nd- Shelby begins working on the PowerPoint • November 7th- Tori contacted Diane Boss about the Bake Sale • November 14th- Bake Sale In front of library in Burns Hall from 11-5 • November 22nd- Tori & Shelby begin work on website and finalize PowerPoint.

  5. Community • Our community was served by reaching out and helping twelve teenagers in Youth Strategies, learn basic kitchen procedures that might not have been taught to them in their home. We also worked with the Jones Center and used their Catering Kitchen for the baking class. • Our contact for the project was Mike Fohner from Youth Strategies.

  6. Curriculum We achieved: • Greater awareness of cultural perspective, writing clear, coherent, well-organized documents. Recognizing practical applications of learning theories, philosophical concepts, role and nature of schooling and teaching, and education in general. • Understanding of self as a learner and future teacher, integration of our knowledge of self and students to the context of the school. • Higher order thinking, effective oral communication skills, and use computer proficiently, and development of soft skills. • The students at the baking class needed some level of mathematical literacy in order to measure out the ingredients. • The students at the baking class had to have effective oral communication skills to communicate with those in their group and us as the instructors.

  7. Technology • As far as technology was concerned, we used Microsoft Word to make the recipe cards for the baking class, Microsoft Excel to make a spreadsheet that compared different ingredient’s prices between several stores in the area and we used Excel to make our time logs. Also, we used Microsoft Publisher to make signs for the bake sale, and Microsoft PowerPoint to make this presentation.

  8. Skills Developed • The group had to work together and find times throughout each week where we could all meet and discuss the project. • We learned to organize and communicate through e-mail, text messaging, and phone calls when preparing for the baking class on November 1st, as well as preparing for the bake sale on November 14th.

  9. Methodology • To complete the project, we all had responsibilities to fulfill.

  10. Project Results • As a result of the project, we learned about time management and how to work efficiently as a group all semester. • We worked together to come up with a creative way to teach the students from Youth Strategies how to bake, basic skills in a kitchen, and couponing and budgeting. • As a result of the bake sale along with donations, we raised $208 for Youth Strategies.
