1. The answer is false. CCNE stands for client-centered nutrition education.
CCNE is a style of nutrition education that engages clients as active
participants in the learning process and offers them more choices and more
opportunities for active learning. It can involve methods such as group
discussion, cooking demonstrations, hands-on activities, and take-home
options. Overall, CCNE allows WIC educators more freedom to explore
issues that are relevant to clients. CCNE can be as simple as modifying an
existing lesson to encourage client interaction or as complex as designing a
series of lessons from scratch. The state WIC office is eager to provide CCNE
training to local agencies in order to maximize their resources and skills to
develop and deliver CCNE.
The Clown College of New England is where Eaton received his nutrition
degree. No wonder he's always talking about the MyBasic4 Quadrilateral -
cotton candy, popcorn, peanuts and hot dogs.
2. The answer is f - all of the above. In addition to wonderful blueberries,
the new food package may contain all kinds of fresh and frozen fruits
and vegetables; whole grains like whole wheat tortillas and whole wheat
bread; lower fat milk and baby foods. The WIC food package is changing
in wonderful ways. Blueberries, tomatoes, fat-free milk, whole wheat
tortillas... it's all on the table.Pzp4

---3. The correct answer is b. By now the Big Tomato and Carlos
and Clarice have arrived in the clinics. And it won't be long
before Zobey's new friends from The Jungle swing by, but
one lesson local agencies shouldn't expect too soon is the
MyBasic 4 Quadrilateral.4.

Nope. WCS stands for WIC Certification Specialist. The WCS
Program was developed by the state to allow local agencies
a way for training paraprofessionals to function as certifying
authorities. Texas' rural areas often have difficulties staffing
dietitians and nutritionists. WCSs allow an agency to free up
their dietitians and nutritionists to focus more on the higher
risk participants. Currently, the state is collaborating with
The University of Texas to develop a uniform WCS training
program that will be utilized to certify interested staff as a
WCS.
The WIC Choral Society is a singing group consisting of
Shellie Shores, Tonia Swartz, Carlos Galvan, Amanda Hovis,
Shirley Ellis, MaryVanEck, and Ponna Sambasivan. You
might have heard some of their songs like, Sing So Low That
I Can't Hear You or Sing by the Window and I'll Help You Out.About the author: Eaton Wright is a certified NUT based in
