Abstract/Notes: Learning Outcome: Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the relationship between Montessori teachers’ cultural food competence, teacher-parent communication and classroom nutrition practices. || Objective: Assess relationships between Montessori teachers’ cultural food competence, teacher-parent nutrition communication, perceived nutrition beliefs and classroom nutrition practices || Design: Pre-test data was obtained from participants enrolled in The T.E.A.C.H. Study, a nutrition program for Montessori teachers, using validated questionnaires to assess nutrition knowledge (NK), nutrition teaching self-efficacy (NTSE),teaching practices, teacher-parent communication (TPC), classroom food practices, & cultural food competence (CFC). ||Participants: Teachers (n=98) were recruited from Montessori schools across the US. Subjects were predominantly female (98%), White (84.7%), non-Hispanic (57.1%). || Statistical Analysis: Descriptives and correlations conducted using SPSS v.26 || Results: CFC was positively associated with TPC (r=.396, p<.001), NTSE (r=.233, p=.021), & providing nutrition education (r=.292, p=.004). However,few teachers "strongly agreed" that they provide nutrition education in their classrooms (14.3%), while the majority had low CFC (67.4%) and reported low amounts of TPC (77.8%). Furthermore, teachers had low NK (average score: 65%)which was positively correlated with NTSE (r=.478, p<.001) and low-fat/sugar food intake (r=.295, p=.003). NK was inversely associated with TPC (r=.270, p=.007), sugary drinks intake (r=-.249, p=.014), using food rewards (r=-.507, p<.001) & permitting unhealthy foods (r=-.356, p<.001). || Conclusion: Montessori teachers’ cultural food competence may impact teacher-parent communication and classroom practices. Teachers with higher cultural competence were more likely to discuss nutrition with parents and provide nutrition education; however, paradoxically nutrition knowledge was inversely associated with teacher-parent communication. With ethnic diversity increasing in schools, cultural nutrition programs would be beneficial to improve teachers’ classroom nutrition practices and parent communication.
