Presentation Topics • Overview of the Teacher Training System Project • Accomplishments and Materials Developed • Stages of Teacher Training • Overview and Findings of the Pilot Test • Next Steps
Background Teacher Training Project • Strategy #4 of the Strategic Plan, developed by ANSTSE, identifies the need to Promote the Establishment of State-Level Teacher Training Standards.
Background Teacher Training Project • Improved teacher training is constantly a primary recommendations in each NHTSA-supported state assessments. • Over 50% of current teachers nationwide are at retirement age. • Many colleges and universities have discontinued their teacher training programs.

This will assist all states and programs to offer quality driver education. • Commercial, public and private schools will all have a resource for training driver education teachers.
Objective of the Project • To develop a system for the training of driver education teachers nationwide, including the development of model teacher training materials and recommendations for the certification of driver education teachers.
Working Group • Currently being developed by a subject matter working group under the direction of ANSTSE with funding from NHTSA. Working group consists of: • Robin Bordner, Michigan Traffic Safety • Sharon Fife, DSAA and D&D Driving School, Ohio • Frank Gruber, Northern Illinois University • Richard Hanson, DTS Consulting, Oregon • Denis MacNeil, DCA, Ontario • Dale Ritzel, Southern Illinois University • John Svensson, DSAA and Road Safety Educator’s Association, Ontario • Supported by HSS staff
Tasks of the National Teacher Training System • Determine status of current state-level teacher training programs • Compare existing teacher training certification programs to the National Standards and the ADTSEA credentialing system • Develop a recommended teacher training and credentialing program with training courses and materials • Distribute the final materials for state use • Completion date of September 2015
Accomplishments • Materials Developed: • Stages for Teacher Training • Prerequisites, Competencies and Attributes of a Driver Education Instructor • Teacher Training Standards • Model Teaching Task training materials (lesson plans, slides, quizzes) • Conducted pilot test of the teaching task.
Stages for DE Teacher / Instructor Training Pre-Screening and Entry Assessments The Driving Task (formalized foundations class) Critical Content of the Curriculum Course (optional but highly recommended) The Teaching Task / Teaching and Learning Theories (formalized foundations class) Practice Teaching (Peer Teaching)
Stages for DE Teacher / Instructor Training Student Teaching Practicum (optional but highly recommended) Exit Assessment for successful completion of the instructor preparation program
