Your District Has An Airport 10 Minutes Away.
Here's How To Turn It Into A Program.
Webinar Preview · Video Coming
Aviation feels omnipresent but somehow unreachable — especially from a classroom. Jeff walks through the exact playbook he's used in Iowa schools since 2014: the entry point, the turnkey install, the credit hours, and how programs get funded without touching your budget. 60–90 minutes, live, free, on October 2nd.
One Session. Live.
You'll Leave With A Program Your Board Can Say Yes To.
- 1
The entry point: the airport your district already has
Nearly every district sits minutes from a municipal airport nobody is using for education. Why that runway is the most overlooked classroom in your county — and how to open the door.
- 2
The turnkey install: curriculum without the extra load
Curriculum, in-class presentations, age-grouped activities, and field trips — installed around your existing schedule, not stacked on top of your teachers' plates.
- 3
You don't need to be a pilot — and neither do your teachers
How Iowa AEA-accredited credit hours work, what teachers actually do in the program, and why zero aviation background is required to run it.
- 4
The board-defensible case: workforce data that holds up
The industry projections (including Boeing's Pilot & Technician Outlook) and the career-connected learning framing that turns "nice idea" into a line item your board will defend.
- 5
Funding follows perceived need: the benefactor route
How programs like this actually get paid for — employers, foundations, and boosters — so the question in the room stops being "what does it cost us?" and becomes "who funds it first?"

“Aviation is omnipresent but somehow unreachable. Every educator I meet can see the airport from the highway — and has no idea where to start. That's the whole reason this program exists. On October 2nd I'll walk you through exactly how we install it: the classroom, the credit hours, the simulator, and the funding.”
This Is For You If
- You're a superintendent or curriculum director looking for career-connected learning that stands out
- You're a teacher who'd love aviation in your classroom — even though you've never flown a plane
- You sit on a school board and need a case you can defend in public session
- You run an airport or city office and want the schools connected to it
What This Is Not
- Not flight training — students never pilot an aircraft; it starts in the classroom and the simulator
- Not a program that requires you or your staff to have any aviation background
- Not another unfunded mandate — the funding route is the centerpiece of the session
- Not a high-pressure pitch — one session, real information, and a replay if you can't make it
