In this class, I won’t just bombard your teen with a list of rules and road signs. My mission is to nurture responsible, safety-conscious motorists who truly understand the road inside and out. 🌟 From the fundamental principles of safe driving to the intricate workings of vehicles and motorcycles, we cover it all. They'll learn how to handle complex situations by mastering the principles of visibility, time, and space management. My ultimate goal? To transform them into expert drivers who are confident and prepared for anything the road throws their way. 🛣️✨

👨‍🏫 With years of experience teaching Basic Driver Improvement and Advanced Driver Improvement at the National Safety Council, I’ve refined my approach to driving education. I understand the ins and outs of the road and am dedicated to passing this knowledge on to your teen. The self-paced course material is carefully crafted by Glencoe in collaboration with the American Automobile Association, ensuring that it’s both comprehensive and effective. 🚚📝

Buckle up, because your teen is on the verge of becoming a skilled and informed driver! It’s completely normal for them to be eager to hit the road, but driving is not something to rush into. There’s a wealth of critical information they need to absorb first. It’s essential they understand that while driving carries inherent risks, skilled drivers are also skilled risk managers. By mastering the art of managing visibility, time, space, and traction, they can significantly reduce these risks. Our mission is to mold them into exceptional drivers who are prepared for any challenge. 🦺🚦

Our textbook has been developed over many years, focusing on safe driving techniques, strategies, and attitudes, all while working closely with young drivers like your teen. In this self-paced class, I don’t just teach the “what” and “how” of driving; we also delve deeply into the “why.” Understanding the reasons behind safe driving practices is key to developing a lifelong commitment to responsible driving. 🤔🚗

The course is divided into six comprehensive units:

Unit 1: Driving, Mobility, and Laws  
We begin by understanding the fundamentals of driving, mobility, and the legal regulations that every driver must know. Your teen will learn about the importance of laws in maintaining order and safety on the roads. 🛣️📜

Unit 2: Basic Vehicle Controls  
This unit focuses on mastering the essential controls and maneuvers necessary for operating a vehicle safely and effectively. Students will learn everything from starting and stopping the car to executing precise turns and parking. 🚘🕹️

Unit 3: Foundations of Effective Driving  
Building a solid foundation in safe driving practices and situational awareness, this unit covers key concepts such as defensive driving, hazard perception, and the importance of a focused mindset. 🛣️💡

Unit 4: Applying Effective Driving  
Here, we put learned skills into practice, navigating various driving scenarios such as city driving, highway driving, and dealing with complex intersections. Students will gain confidence and learn how to make quick, safe decisions. 🚦🚗

Unit 5: Challenges to Vehicle Control  
This unit tackles the challenges of driving in adverse weather conditions, navigating road hazards, and managing unexpected situations. Your teen will learn how to maintain control under difficult circumstances and what to do in emergencies. 🌧️🌀🚧

Unit 6: Driving Readiness  
Preparing for safe driving through vehicle maintenance, emergency preparedness, and mental readiness, this final unit ensures that your teen is fully prepared to take on the road with confidence and responsibility. 🚗🔧

🛣️ Get your teen ready for an incredible journey of self discovery and skill development as they prepare to become a responsible, safe, and confident driver! This self-paced class is more than just preparation for a driving test; it’s about cultivating lifelong habits that will keep your teen safe on the road for years to come. 🌟

🔄 As a professional educator, I employ a modern teaching approach rooted in research-proven methods. It's all about engaging students actively and meaningfully. Using a "flipped classroom" model, students watch my introductory videos, complete assignments independently, and then engage in deeper discussions and learning through my personalized feedback.

💁‍♂️ Parents may assist their teens in setting up Canva accounts to create slideshows, presentations, and more. These tools are user-friendly once mastered. Detailed instructions are provided in the "Supply List."

Since this is a self-paced class, I respect students' and parents' time by focusing on responding to assignment submissions and messages. I am available to support your teen through private messaging for up to thirteen weeks from the start of the course. Feedback on assignments and projects encourages ongoing learning. After thirteen weeks, no further feedback or grading is provided, ensuring a clear timeline for completion.
