|   In an effort to promote  international education among America's  youth, The World By Road (TWBR) is working together in partnership with the Denver Center  for International Studies (DCIS), a public magnet school in the Denver Public  School System. Members of the TWBR team and staff at the school are developing  content and lesson plans to supplement what the students at the school are already  learning about international affairs, geography and world cultures.  As part of our educational  initiative, our team is putting together a website that will allow students to  ask questions about the expedition and the places we see in order to learn more  about the people and cultures of the countries we visit. The website will also  provide downloadable lesson plans and packaged educational materials. The  educational program will be fine tuned with students and faculty at DCIS, and  will ultimately be rolled out nationwide Additionally, with the help of  the International Studies Schools Association at the University of Denver,  our goal is to produce a database of content, media and lesson plans to help  increase the number of resources available to educators to teach their students  about the world around them. The database we are creating will be fully  searchable and will allow teachers from all over the nation to submit their own  lesson plans and materials which will continually improve the quality of the  database itself. Over the course of the 2 year expedition, we plan to compile  and provide teachers nationwide with one of the most comprehensive open-source  international studies resources available.A prototype site setup for this education initiative  will be online soon. Please check back soon to learn more about this evolving  aspect of TWBR.
