TABLE FOR TWO USA(*), 501(c)(3) non-profit organization is looking for a part-time (contract position) e-Learning Course Developer/ Instructional Designer to develop an online food education program to teach Japanese food and foodways to high school students in the U.S.

The developer will collaborate closely with a team of subject matter experts in Japanese food education. This includes writing and developing, with some editorial, multimedia, and design work as needed. We have already developed contents for the hands-on program and some of the contents can be used for the online program.

About Wa-Shouiku –Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!-

The Wa-Shokuiku Project (https://www.wa-shokuiku.org) is a new initiative from TABLE FOR TWO USA. Wa-Shokuiku combines the Japanese words “Washoku” which refers to Japanese food and, “Shokuiku”, food education. It is a 7-part series of classes on Japanese food and food culture for American school students.  We developed a hands-on program targeting elementary to middle school aged students successfully and now plan to develop its online version targeting high school students.

Our goal for the Wa-Shokuiku program is that students will be equipped with practical knowledge and skills regarding healthy eating, Japanese foodways, and best practices.  The objectives are (1) to expand students’ palates by teaching how to prepare tasty and healthy dishes using washoku preparation techniques, (2) Include discussion about nutrition, manners, respect toward food and simple relevant Japanese words, and (3) introduce food related concerns, such as obesity and waste while discussing do-able daily actions inspired by shokuiku.

Please view these the video of the hands-on programs to give you an idea of what the program covers.
