It is strongly recommended that the lessons be taught in the order specified. As will be noted throughout the curriculum, sanction is granted to the instructor to make program modifications, including scope and sequence of lessons, in order to respond to local program needs. While in-car class periods are shown as being 60 minutes in duration, it is recognized that, in many instances, regular school class periods are 50 minutes in duration. The curriculum encourages provision of observation time for all students, and particularly for those students who stand to benefit significantly from the additional time in the car that observation time provides. The instructor should be sensitive and responsive to student needs and circumstances.
Skills Break the task into parts.
Prepare students for progressive changes in all aspects of the driving task. Prepare students to expect instability during periods of change. Keep observers active and have them contribute wherever possible throughout the lesson. There will be an overall record for each student based on the performance criteria reflected in the learning objectives set out for each lesson. Final student evaluation must be recorded as a percentage and must be submitted to the department as part of the student's record.
