Texas SuperCyclist Update |
Successful SuperCyclist Training at Lamar Consolidated ISD Kicks Off 2007-08 School Year
Thirty-two additional elementary school teachers joined the BikeTexas SuperCyclist-Certified Club (over three thousand strong) on August 23, 2007, after a fun-filled one-day training at the Terry High School campus in Rosenburg.
Ms. Laura Lyons of the Lamar Consolidated ISD did such a superb job of recruitment for the SuperCylcist Teacher certification. In order to provide a one on one atmosphere,  TBCEF staff split the class and brought in two Houston area SuperCylclist field instructors. Frequent laughter could be heard wafting back and forth in the hallway between the two classrooms as the field instuctors each applied their own personal style to the SuperCyclist material.
Mr. Gonzalo Ponce, Program Grant Manager from the TxDOT Traffic Safety
Division came as an observer, only to find himself nudged, some might
even say dragged, into participating in the fierce bike parts hang-tag
competition between the two classes in the gym. Teachers generally play
out two or three of the active SuperCyclist curriculum units during the
training.
TBCEF staff would like to thank the 168 respondents to the recent
SuperCyclist Teacher survey. TBCEF is reviewing the responses and will
publish the findings in this newsletter by the end of the year.
