<DIV>On a recent PD trip to Canada I came across a skateboard building
program that has addressed each of the above criteria. I have begun to
implement the Roarockit skateboard program at my school with fever
pitched excitement. Other Schools are going to roll the program out next
year with it's VCAL and woodwork cohort. </DIV>
<DIV>I think from my experience and observations, teachers and students
have been crying out for a program that is re-engaging, makes real links
with the curriculum, reduces behavioral issues and improves attendance.
