We're proud to sponsor the 2008 Iditarod Target Teacher on the Trail, a program that reaches teachers and students in all 50 states and many countries around the world. Each year, one teacher is selected to take participants, via the Internet, on an action-packed adventure from checkpoint to checkpoint along the Iditarod trail.
The storied and world-renowned Iditarod is a sled dog race that runs 1,150 miles through extreme conditions and beautiful Alaskan terrain. Thousands of students, from preschool to University level, complete Iditarod-related school projects and hone their skills in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and other curriculum areas.
Jane Blaile
This year's Target Teacher on the Trail is Jane Blaile from Christ Lutheran School in Phoenix, Arizona. During her 17-year career, Jane has taught 4th through 8th grades and currently teaches 5th grade with an emphasis on science
"Although the Iditarod happens only once a year, it is a year long tale of practice and training," says Jane. "I emphasize the power in that to my students: trying new things, accomplishing goals and doing your best."
Join Jane, the tenth Teacher on the Trail, as she expands the walls of her classroom and heads out on the educational journey of a lifetime. For more information, including lesson plans and articles from Jane, visit http://www.iditarod.com. "
i would really like to find pics of this dog actually involved with the start, since he was supposed to have been a part of it, even riding in one of the racer's sleds.
