Class Experience

Why are some street signs blue? Can you occasionally drive above the speed limit? Not sure, huh?  Well this class is for you! For ages 14-17, in this course students will learn facts and rules of the road through interactive pictures and games!
Drivers ed is a 60 minute easy interactive drivers informational course taught over 10 days. Classes begin daily with a quick introduction to the subject of the day. Each interactive lesson is aimed at driver safety and knowledge. Learners will learn a new drivers topic per class. We discuss context and practical ways that we can use what we’ve learned. 

Course Schedule is as follows:
Day One                 Orientation to Driver’s Education
Day Two                Signs, Signals, and Pavement Markings
Day Three              Vehicle Safety Equipment
Day Four                Visual Functions and Space Management
Day Five                Driving in Neighborhoods
Day Six                  Driving on Urban, Suburban, & Rural Roads
Day Seven              Lets take a trip: Driving on Expressways
Day Eight               I just lost my brakes! Collisions, Malfunctions, & Adverse Conditions

Day Ten                 Owning a Vehicle

 My traffic class isn’t your standard boring lesson. As an Educator by trade, I know HOW you teach is as important as what you teach. My class motivates young people with games, fun and engaging interactive materials. Videos, animation, and interactive elements make this defensive driving course fun and entertaining as well as informative. Fun Interactive content keeps things interesting and engaging and ensures drivers retain knowledge. You’ll learn preliminary rules of the road and get support when you need it without ever having to change out of your PJs.

The US has 4 million miles of beautiful roadway. Getting permission from your state to drive on them is just the sweet red cherry on top. Come with me and discover new technologies in cars, rules of the road and build skills and confidence. Together, we will take steps into developing driver knowledge and wrap up every class with a Kahoot game of driving questions to keep you on your toes!! No worries if you are not perfect, this class is all about having fun and learning. No prior knowledge is required. Just a pen, paper and a separate device with Kahoot when logging in!  

FYI the Traffic Safety class is not in any way an accredited class given by any government agency, institution, nor administration to fulfill a requirement for licensure in the state in which you reside. It is simply an informational class . Hopefully, you will be able to use this, in conjunction with your states Drivers Manual, as a study guide.
In this course we will use games, videos and humor to help you understand rules of the road so that you can be a great driver!

While the class start time is listed, please patiently allow up to 5 minutes past start time in the waiting room before we get started so that most students can arrive and I can follow Outschool’s policies on allowing students to enter.

Parental Guidance
While the class start time is listed, please patiently allow up to 5 minutes past start time in the waiting room before we get started so that most students can arrive and I can follow Outschool’s policies on allowing students to enter. Drivers informational classes will OCCASIONALLY reference injury, drugs, alcohol, liability, loss damage or death statistics. Fast paced. High energy! Notes will have to be taken! Some of my class sizes are larger, it keeps the energy going and gives ease to shy students. Please make sure you are ok with the class size BEFORE registering! (FYI, I have ALWAYS taught larger classes and am very skilled at teaching, controlling and communicating with large groups of 20- 30 students daily for the last 23 years, so this is a breeze, they are in good hands!) There are ONLY 3 short videos IN THE ENTIRE CLASS that I use that are a little older, but less than 5 mins. They were made late 90's but the info is SO GOOD and still relevant, they really need to see them. Its Minimal, but impactful.

Additional Info: Discounted enrollments are not eligible for pausing or unenrolling. If you pause more than once for any reason, you can continue the class of course, but will have to go back to full price. If you Unenroll, you will have to go back to full price. **No transfers. Please don't miss a payment. Outschool runs payments once a week (usually on Sundays) If you miss a payment you must go back to full price. With so many students and parents, it creates a ton of work creating new links every week for those who missed payments. I can no longer do it. Please also note that pausing does not hold a seat in Outschool's system. New discounts are not for existing students. New discounts are for students new to the class ONLY. (**No transfers). One discounted seat per family, other seats must be at regular price (unless you ask me ahead of time, those I will honor) f you have a DISCOUNTED ENROLLMENT, but your learner has missed 3 classes or more, I have to give the spot to another learner that is waitlisted to come. Spots are scarce, the class is full, and there are others who want to participate. Student learners can use the same screen, but must be enrolled separately in the class and have their own learner profile with Outschool. Please be mindful that I do strictly follow the refund policy outlined by Outschool as it pertains to the class. If you are beyond the window for a refund, reach out to me and, as a courtesy, I will try to see if I can assist in another way. However, there is no guarantee that another arrangement can be reached. Most of you know me well by now and see my heart. I am very nice. But we also have to be mindful that we are not taking advantage of one another :) Additional Info: Discounted enrollments are not eligible for pausing or unenrolling.
