Arizona Health and Nutrition Curriculum Assessment Tool
The Arizona Health and Nutrition Curriculum Assessment Tool is a guide to be used in combination with the USDA Checklist for Evidence Based Approaches to evaluate how well a curriculum that meets SNAP-Ed evidence based program and practice requirements, aligns with the Language of Health and Trauma Informed Approaches. The AZ Health Zone State Implementation Team (SIT) will utilize this tool to review and select curricula to add to future versions of the approved curriculum list. Local Implementing Agencies (LIA) may also review curricula using this tool and share results with the SIT through the process outlined in the tool’s directions. Note: The SIT currently reviews and adds curriculum to the approved curriculum list at the start of a new, five year grant cycle, with plans to review curriculum annually starting in FY26. Any LIA submissions to SIT may not be reviewed until FY26.
