The aim of this project was to recommend content and instructional approach guidelines for a K through 12 traffic safety education curriculum. The specific project requirements were to identify: (1) content requirements for a curriculum; (2) developmental capabilities of school-age children; (3) the most suitable approach for teaching traffic safety to specific ages of learners; and (4) issues affecting implementation, evaluation and research of K-12 traffic safety education programs. In addition, an advisory panel of traffic safety, education and child development experts were consulted to review this project's content and instructional approach recommendations. This volume contains the recommended content and instructional approach guidelines for a K-12 traffic safety curriculum. Included in this document are: an overview of instruction recommended in four traffic safety areas (i.e., occupant, alcohol, pedestrian and bicycle safety); a discussion of estimated teaching time projected for one academic year; the critical information students in grades K through 12 should be taught about traffic safety; and the most suitable approach for teaching traffic safety according to the developmental capabilities of students. Volume I describes the procedures followed in completing the work requirements and the findings.
The purpose of the DRSR program is to offer a preventive educational program to encourage responsible decision-making when it comes to obeying traffic laws and to follow safe practices. Driving on the Right Side of the Road was developed to infuse the study of traffic safety issues into social studies classes at grades K-12 using the strategies of law-related education, including the use of judges and court support personnel as resource persons in classrooms. Young drivers between the ages of 15 and 20, compromise 6.5% of the licensed population and too often are amongst the high number of Texans injured or killed due to speed, DUI, failure to wear a seat belt, and other poor driving habits. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death of 15-20 year olds. NHTSA reported that 23% of the young drivers between the ages of 15 and 20, who were killed in crashes, had a BAC of .08 or higher. Driving on the Right Side of the Road is a project aimed at social studies teachers at the elementary, middle and high school levels that is made possible through a collaborative effort with the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center and Law Focused Education Inc., a project of the State Bar of Texas and funding through the Texas Department of Transportation.
