Carson City physical education teachers participate in biking, walking safety training
On Monday, Feb. 4, 2019, Carson City physical education teachers opted in to take a comprehensive training class about biking and walking safety.
The Western Nevada Safe Routes to School (WN-SRTS) program, with the help of the Nevada Department of Transportation, conducted a “train the teacher” class for physical education teachers in the following schools:
— Al Seeliger Elementary School
— Bordewich Bray Elementary School
— Empire Elementary School
— Fremont Elementary School
— Fritsch Elementary School
— Mark Twain Elementary School
The training started off with a modified version of a League of American Cyclists' Smart Cycling course for youth, along with lessons on pedestrian safety.
The goals of the class were to (1) share the Safe Routes to School bicycling and walking curriculum with new teachers, (2) refresh seasoned professionals, and (3) update everyone on new laws and improvements to the curriculum.
In the upcoming years, the WN-SRTS program plans on assisting teachers with school lessons on bicycle and pedestrian safety instruction where students will receive hands-on experience on how to walk and bicycle safely.
Lastly, the completion of the teacher training gears up for Nevada Moves Day on March 20, 2019, Bike Month in May, and Walk to School Day on Oct. 9, 2019. The community is invited along with the schools to participate in these family-friendly events.
