When it comes to programs like breakfast in the classroom (or BIC), support from teachers is vital. School nutrition professionals understand the value of BIC, but teachers often get stuck on the logistics. Will it be messy? Distracting? Too time consuming?

In this new SN Plus, we highlight a recent study from the Journal of Child Nutrition & Management that identified how future elementary school teachers initially felt about BIC and how a simple, five-minute educational video changed their perceptions of the program in a positive way, helping them see the value of BIC and feel more confident about implementing it in their own future classrooms.
