Participants

Preservice and in-service primary and secondary (including relevant international equivalents) schoolteachers of all ages, sociodemographic status and teaching area or learning disciplines.

Interventions conducted in adolescents, children, students or whole school interventions with included teacher training or intervention will also be included, yet they must clearly report on the teacher component or outcomes. This includes studies that focus on “school staff” but clearly state the inclusion of teachers within the participant sample.

Combined data that includes teacher participants will be included without the extraction of outcome results in instances where teacher participant specific data is not provided separately.

Preservice and in-service teachers in early learning, childcare, head start, nursery, or kindergartens. Tertiary teachers including technical colleges, after school program educators and teachers, volunteer teachers in community-based school programs.

School based dietitians, FN professionals working in schools.

Concept

Studies or research that report on constructs of either/and/or:

• Teacher FN wellbeing

• FN training provision

AND have at least one personal FN factor included. An overview of personal and professional FN factors is included in Table 1.

Studies or research that report on constructs of:

1. Only teacher professional FN (e.g., nutrition education self-efficacy or those that focused only on teacher nutrition knowledge relevant to student health, without reference to any personal FN factors).

2. Teacher wellbeing programs or training without FN relevant components.

3. Student or whole school wellbeing interventions without teacher training or outcomes collected.

Context

• Schools, universities, colleges, online formats

• Training programs through outside or community bodies that deliver relevant teacher training or health intervention

• Teacher FN training within a student intervention or school environment study will also be considered.
