utensils) generated during school lunch and/or breakfast.

This action requires schools to train food service staff and implement food
service best practices to reduce food waste in the cafeteria. Practices include
purchasing and producing food in smaller batches, practicing Offer versus Serve,
and deploying Smarter Lunchroom Movement strategies to increase students’ intake
of healthy foods, thereby reducing waste.
Food Recovery - Share Tables & Donation: 10 to 20 Points
This action encourages schools to run a comprehensive, on-going share table
program and/or a food donation program to feed hungry students or community
members with recovered excess food rather than throwing it out. Schools may earn
10 points each for a share table program and a donation program.
DIGITAL LEARNING PRACTICES
Digital Innovative Classroom #1 & #2: 10 to 30 Points

classrooms. Spotlighting various dimensions of technologically advanced learning
environments. This action allows teachers to demonstrate how they empower their
students as active learners through technology integration.
2023-2024 ACTION UPDATES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIGITAL LEARNING LEADERSHIP

assessing educators’ professional learning needs related to digital learning and
capacity building.

Updates made to this action include decreasing the number of required samples of
teacher goals and attendance documentation from 10 to 5.

with a lesson plan template, allowing for different forms of assessment of
student learning.
WASTE REDUCTION & RECYCLING
Waste Audit: 10 to 20 Points
This action encourages schools to carry out waste audits to assess the quantity
and origin of their waste. The action has been updated to a variable point
action and offers 10 points for an audit of general waste (including waste from
classrooms, offices, and other areas of the building and grounds), and 10 points
for an audit of cafeteria waste that includes tray waste from the school’s meal
service. Either or both options may be completed to receive points. New guidance
and resources have been added for food waste audits.
Food Waste Recycling or Composting: 15 Points
The action name has been changed from Food Waste Management to more clearly
reflect that this action awards points for recycling or composting of cafeteria
food waste - on school grounds or off-site. Updated guidance and examples have
also been added and the look back period has been changed to the current school
year. To earn points for this action, a school must have an ongoing,
comprehensive program to recycle food-waste from the cafeteria during the
current school year and it must promote the program and its benefits to its
school community.
