Make Trax Curriculum
Make Trax is a set of 8 lessons and
support materials that can be used
in the classroom or outside of
school. The curriculum engages youth
in Safe Routes to School planning to
increase the number of students
who walk, bicycle, or roll to school
when the distance is reasonable and
routes are safe.
Many factors influence student
travel to and from school. In Make
Trax, students undertake a research
project to investigate some of these
factors. Along the way, they learn
problem-solving skills, develop
recommendations for change, and
present their ideas.
The Make Trax curriculum:
- Includes a field guide
specifically for youth.
- Aligns with content
expectations for some social
studies and technology class
requirements.
- Provides community service
opportunities.
- Uses Internet resources and
mapping technology.
Make Trax Lessons are:
- Easy to use.
- Based on instructional
design principles.
- Field tested.
