Judging Criteria
The central focus of your entry must be baking education and its interdisciplinary benefits to young people. Entries will be screened by family and consumer sciences professionals. Final selections will be based upon the following weighted criteria:Baking Emphasis/Execution and Interdisciplinary Skills (35%): Detail how the program emphasized and taught the skill of baking as a relevant part of today’s lifestyle. For example, how did the program relate to work competencies, resource management, social and other sciences, math, and/or family and personal development? How were the lessons/activities organized? What resources were used? Were there difficulties encountered? If so, how were they handled?
Creativity (25%): Describe what made your program unique, fun and appealing to youth. How did you use an interdisciplinary, multicultural and/or intergenerational approach? What made the program stand out? How did the students contribute to the program’s development?
Pre-Evaluation/Testing (15%): Analyze or describe the situation on which the program is based. What shaped your planning process? Who was your audience? What were the students’ attitudes/skills before you began the program? List measurable objectives.
Post-Evaluation/Testing (15%): Based on your pre-evaluation/testing objectives, describe the results of your program. How many youth were reached? What attitudes toward baking were fostered and what baking skills were achieved? What other competencies were gained or improved? Did you meet your objectives?
Community Service (10%): Explain how your program helped or impacted your community. Describe student community involvement and, if available, community response.
