Developed with the aid of driver and traffic safety educators throughout Wisconsin, this guide provides administrative information, course objectives, topics, content, and student activities for driver education courses. The guide combines the curriculum content from all instructional phases, such as classroom, simulator, multiple-vehicle range, and on-street driving instruction. A variety of instructional methodologies and activities are presented in order to encourage teachers to incorporate a wide range of teaching practices. The guide is organized in five chapters, each containing references. The first chapter provides introductory information about traffic safety education and its implementation in Wisconsin, along with information on using the guide. The second chapter discusses administrative elements of driver education programs. It includes program approval standards, a discussion of various instructional formats, and scheduling considerations. In the third chapter, general beliefs about teaching traffic safety education, an introduction to a variety of instructional strategies, and an extensive list of instructional topics, including objectives, content, and student activities, are provided. The fourth chapter discusses integration with school and communities, noting the significant impact factors outside driver education programs, such as peers, other classes, family, and the community at large, have on student driving behaviors. The final chapter looks ahead to anticipate the issues and trends driver and traffic safety education faces. An appendix contains sections of the Wisconsin administrative code pertaining to driver education and 66 resources and references. (KC)
"The goal of this research project was to develop a methodology to assist the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) in the evaluation of effectiveness of teen driver education programs over the short and long terms. The research effort was divided into two phases. Phase I focused on the development of an evaluative methodology that was based upon a review of the relevant literature and Wisconsin-specific policies and available data sources. This review culminated in a program assessment tool focused on four contributing areas of teen driver training and education: 1) Guardian Involvement; 2) Driver Education and Training Curricula Requirements; 3) GDL Coordination; and 4) Instructor Qualifications. The proposed methodology was presented to the Project Oversight Committee and was validated through two rounds of pilot testing using materials provided by programs and schools under the oversight of both WisDOT and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The resulting methodology informed the Phase II implementation plan recommendations. Work products included within this report are an annotated bibliography; a knowledge base documenting best practices and Wisconsin-specific data sources; a methodology that may be used to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of driver-training programs as they relate to the demonstrated safety and behavior of teen drivers in Wisconsin; and a three-phase implementation plan."--Technical report documentation page.
