The main objective of this project is to continue educating K-12 students about intermodal transportation. In 2012, NCITEC funded our K-12 project which aimed to develop tools, such as, lesson plans and hands-on activities that would introduce K-12 students to intermodal transportation. We delivered our first summer training program for K-12 teachers during June and August, 2013. Our second year had similar planned outcomes including additional lesson plans which will be developed by the PIs and the teachers. Learning activities were developed and refined through the course of the spring of 2014. A new cadre of teachers were recruited during this time as well and the summer 2014 session was planned and implemented. This second cadre then implemented the curricula in their classrooms.
The outcomes of this program include additional learning materials that will be continually available via the program website. These will continue to impact student learning in grades k-12 nationwide. The teachers trained in the program will continue to implement the curricula in their classroom extending the effect impact from year to year.
