NCASE Coming To Arlington, VA In October 2008
The National Coalition for Aviation
Education (NCAE) announced this week the Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association (AOPA) has become the first major sponsor of the 2008
National Conference on Aviation and Space Education (NCASE),
"Today's Students: Tomorrow's Aerospace Workforce". The 39th
biennial conference for educators across North America will be held
in the nation's capital, October 16-18, 2008 at the Crystal Gateway
Marriott Hotel in Arlington, VA.
"AOPA enthusiastically supports NCAE and NCASE 2008," said AOPA
President Phil Boyer. "AOPA and its members are committed to
expanding the pilot population, and to do that, we recognize how
important it is for educators to develop and share strategies to
include aerospace concepts and issues in today's mainstream
curricula."
NCASE brings together more than 2000 educators from across North
America for a two-day forum focusing on the integration of aviation
and space concepts into core curriculum subject areas, with an
emphasis on "hands-on, minds-on" sessions applied to National
Standards and Standards of Learning. Representatives from aviation
and space industry associations, technology developers and
government organizations will also participate.
The NCASE agenda will include several tracks, including science
of aviation and space, teaching and learning methodologies and
technologies using aerospace education as the theme, outreach in
aviation education, and importance of Educating Youth for Aerospace
Careers. Participating educators will be eligible to earn 30
contact hours.
"We are thrilled that AOPA, the leading organization of pilots
and aircraft owners, has partnered with us to enhance aviation and
space education across the country," said Ken Cook, President of
NCAE, which organizes NCASE. "Their support of NCASE represents how
critical the inclusion of aviation and space education in our
nation's curricula is to the future of aviation and its role in
America's economy."
