Hey there,
We are working with the DC Public Schools with the Cornerstone project. And would love to connect you guys with the folks over at DCPS if you are interested in learning some of the direct lessons that they have garnered.
I have been on a ride with one of the schools and it was a great experience. The youth were divided up by skill level and were able to tackle about a 5 mile ride with breaks. All the youth were in second grade (with a like 2 in in 3rd) they divided the days up for them to have a practice day, then one big day for the ride for everyone with more volunteers.
Feel free to email me directly at sterlingstone@gearinupbicycles.org and i can give you some further insights.

Check out our website. We have a bike smart curriculum, with games-based lessons. This program is taught to k-6th, and works great. We also have a publication called the parents guide to safe bicycling. Www.localmotion.org/education.

Folks, We have done some presentations and rodeos for 4th graders, but after the news that D.C. schools are teaching bike riding to all 2nd graders, our district is interested in reaching this younger cohort.
While we have had a bit of experience with this age, any lessons learned from working with schools (especially in Phys Ed) would be appreciated.
