This is an Resource to Help You Build a Transportation Education Continuum • Review all slides to understand how transportation education applies to schools and districts • Think about the tiers of a transportation education continuum • What are you doing across each tier? • What can you being doing across each tier?
Building a Continuum of Transportation Education Transportation education creates a culture, accompanied by a coordinated set of practices, to connect students, families, educators, pupil transporters, and public transportation professionals to create a system by which students have knowledge, access, and choice regarding a continuum of accessible transportation options across grade levels, and especially as they transition from school to postsecondary education, employment, and independent living settings.
Principles of Transportation Education • Embedding content about accessible transportation options in curriculum and instruction across grade levels • Providing professional development to educators and other school professionals regarding accessible transportation options for students • Engaging students and their families in discussions regarding accessible transportation options throughout a student’s education • Ensuring that students and their families have the knowledge and skill to choose the transportation option that is best aligned with their needs, preferences, and postsecondary goals
Building a Continuum of Transportation Education Intense Services -Travel Training; -Para transit eligibility -OT/PT/Behavioral Interventions • Moving up the Tiers • Less numbers of students • More defined service • Greater time & resource commitment • Specialized training and competence of providers • Focused data collection – around student performance Focused Transportation Assessments & Education -Travel Training Assessments -OT/PT Behavioral assessment -Travel Instruction – Familiarization - Links to IEP goals and transition supports • District-Wide Transportation Education • Provide professional development to educators around accessible transportation supports • Engage families and students in transportation education • in early grades • Integrate transportation content across grade levels and curriculum (ELA, Math, geography, etc.) • Rely on transit for community-based experiences • Invite transit into schools and programs • Establish linkages across educators, pupil transportation, and public transportation sectors • Align transportation education with other reforms RTI. College and Career Readiness, etc. • Provide travel instruction - orientation
Exercise • Does a model like this make sense? • Use the template on the next slide to record your activities across tiers. • Think about other reforms – multi-tiered systems, college and career readiness – how can transportation content align?
What Are you Doing at Each Tier? What Can you be Doing at Each Tier?
