The Texas Bicycle Coalition Education Program continues to educate teachers in the Texas Supercyclist Curriculum across Texas. Most recently, 67 teachers from the Lubbock area attended a training workshop on October 31, 2005.

For the first time since 2002, the Texas Bicycle Coalition Education Department held a comprehensive training for field instructors on September 30, 2005. The training focused on standardizing the Texas SuperCyclist Curriculum teacher trainings with the goal of making the trainings more fun and effective.

Texas Bicycle Coalition is moving full steam ahead with its mission of training all Texas elementary physical education teachers in the SuperCyclist bicycle safety curriculum.

On September 30, Texas Bicycle Coalition will host its first re-training of field instructors in three years. BikeTexas Field Instructors, who are also League Certified Instructors and BikeTexas members, facilitate SuperCyclist teacher trainings.

During the re-training, these instructors will work with Coalition staff to enhance the quality and activity level of SuperCyclist teacher trainings. In doing so, field instructors will be even better qualified to lead SuperCyclist teacher trainings in the future. Participating instructors include: Doug Ballew, David Eggleston, Regina Garcia, Laura King, Stanley Kuenstler, Dean Lewis, Nancy Meredith, Susan Wagner and Gail Wellenkamp.

Would your business or corporation like to be more involved in advancing bicycle access, safety and education? Are you looking to partner with a local nonprofit organization to increase your involvement in your local community?

The Texas Bicycle Coalition is looking for corporate partners to help sponsor our SuperCyclist bicycle safety education program in school districts across Texas. This training plays a critical role in reducing bike-related injuries and deaths among Texas youth. However, our grants through Texas Department of Transportation and Carol M. White Physical Education Program only cover a portion of the materials and staffing required to provide this quality bicycle safety education training to Texas teachers.
