摘要：This article examines the challenges faced by secondary teachers whoteach Food and Nutrition (F & N), and how a professional listserv can be used toaddress those challenges. The purpose of this qualitative research study was toexplore the challenges and solutions through the teachers’ asynchronous onlinetext conversations on a professional e-mail listserv. A total of 2,586 e-mails froma statewide e-mail listserv, with 978 emails identified as F & N-related content,were collected. The findings show that challenges lie in food lab management,budgeting, and planning. In addition, food allergies, a lack of administrationsupport in course scheduling, limited Spanish materials, restricted or indistinctschool policies for the use of teaching aids created barriers to effective classroompractice. In conclusion, the study found the listserv to be a valuable tool forsecondary teachers to support one another’s needs when teaching F & N.
