TEACHING TEACHERS TO TEACH--THE TRAINING OF DDC INSTRUCTORS

In June 1983 about 25 students--all adults with responsible positions--gathered in a classroom at the National Safety Council's headquarters in Chicago to learn how to become instructors for the Council's eight-hour Defensive Driving Course (DDC) and the four-hour DDC II. This article provides a session by session account of the three full days spent learning to teach, as well as the views from students which were obtained between sessions or during breaks. All students were from companies and government agencies that saw the value of DDC as an accident-prevention tool.
