Description: This webinar examines developmental stages and cognitive processes in children and adolescents, and their implications for nutrition education. Participants will evaluate the learning needs of pediatric and adolescent populations and how developmental differences influence attention, information processing, and engagement.

 

The session reviews evidence-based principles of effective youth engagement drawn from developmental and educational research. Emphasis is placed on translating nutrition concepts into experiential learning strategies appropriate for a variety of settings. Participants will gain practical skills to adapt nutrition messages to support comprehension, engagement, and application among child and adolescent learners.

 

Learning Objectives:

Understand developmental stages and cognition among children and adolescents.

Evaluate the needs of child and adolescent learners, and how this impacts educational strategies.

Develop skills to transition nutrition message to experiential learning in various settings.

 

Performance Indicators:

10.1.1: Demonstrates and applies age-appropriate education principles.

10.1.4: Evaluates factors that influence the learning process and skill building.

10.3.2: Develops a variety of learning activities based on a plan of action and needs of individuals, groups, communities, and populations.

Description: Eggshell membrane has quietly supported human nutrition for centuries—long before supplements existed—yet only recently has science begun to unravel its unique biological value. In this webinar, we’ll explore the surprising history of eggshell membrane consumption across cultures, review the latest clinical research demonstrating its benefits for joint and cartilage health, and compare today’s leading eggshell membrane dietary ingredients. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how this once-forgotten natural material has become a scientifically validated functional ingredient with growing relevance in nutrition and dietetics.

 

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

 

Describe the biological composition of eggshell membrane, including its key structural proteins, glycosaminoglycans, and other bioactive components relevant to joint and connective tissue health.

 

Summarize the current body of clinical evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of eggshell membrane supplementation for joint pain, stiffness, function, and cartilage biology.

 

Differentiate among the various types of commercially available eggshell membrane ingredients, recognizing how differences in processing, composition, and standardization can influence clinical outcomes.
