THE 80'S--A TIME OF CRISES--A PLAN FOR ACTION

To provide quality driver education that is an effective accident countermeasure, we must have teachers whose preparation is driver task oriented--teachers who have a solid foundation in both laboratory and classroom instructional processes. This mandates access to a college or university with a committment. There must be strong support and direction from state departments of education and from school administrators who mandate quality programs and select driver education teachers on the basis of their competency in the field of driver education. Scheduling of driver education classes must be managed in such a manner as to bring together the learning activities of classroom and laboratory. Problems that arise in lab must be discussed and resolved for the benefit of the whole class as soon as possible. In turn, what occurs in either classroom or lab must be directly related to performance that we desire of students when they operate a motor vehicle in traffic. It is only through development and adoption of programs that address the tasks to be performed when driving and provide the learning experiences necessary for their attainment that we can meet and survive the challenges to driver education in the 80's.
