School Teacher Pro-D Module

After building stronger connections with BC High School Sports and visiting the 2022 High School Mtn. Bike Championships, Cycling BC wishes to help school teachers get kids on bikes in 2023.

To recognize previous learning and help school teachers confidently lead after-school cycling programs for either elementary or high-school students, Cycling BC offers innovative ways for teachers to demonstrate pedagogical competence and learn cycling-specific techniques and teaching curricula.
