Register now for the upcoming webinar Get on Board with an Integrated Curriculum for the Transportation, Distribution and Logistics Career Cluster

Join us for a webinar on November 4, 2010 from 2:00-3:00 pm CST/3:00-4:00 pm EST which will showcase new integrated curriculum for the Transportation, Distribution and Logistics (TDL) cluster.  The session will feature Clark Martin, Federal Highway Administration Division of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) who will provide insight on the current status and future demand for workers in the Transportation industry and how USDOT is partnering with state departments of education and the Career Clusters Initiative to address the shortage through education channels.   With financial support from USDOT, contextual learning curriculum materials tied to academic standards and geared for grades 6-12 have been developed to create student interest in Transportation, Distribution and Logistics careers.  Classroom teachers and state education staff who have been involved in the developmental work will discuss how they are integrating transportation career information into a variety of content areas using these materials. Scott Hess, United States Department of Education will discuss resources developed by the Transportation RPOS grants in Nebraska and Indiana.
Project staff will provide information on how states and schools can be involved in the national field test of these materials.
