Welcome to MODSEA! The Missouri Driver
Safety and Education Association is a comprehensive group of
teachers and safety advocates who are committed to the improvement
and advancement of safe transportation.
My name is Molly Kleiber and I am the current
MODSEA President. I currently teach at Liberty High School in
the Wentzville School District. I have been teaching Driver
Education since 2014.
Prior to teaching Driver Education I taught 8th Grade Science for
seven years. I am also a certified sports performance coach, a
member of MOSHAPE, and an avid tennis player.
Through teaching driver education, I have received a number
of awards and honors from student produced video productions
promoting safe driving. In 2016, I helped my school to win $10,000
from Jim Butler Chevrolet by having the most community members
pledging to be safe drivers. I love working with my
community and promoting safe driving habits for all members of the
community.
Moving forward, one of the goals of MODSEA is to
promote the value of driver education by working with the American
Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association (ADTSEA) to promote
driver education safety, quality instructional practices, and
up-to-date driver education information. MODSEA was working
with Missouri State Representative Galen Higdon and his effort to
pass legislation (HB 534) to require driver education to get a
driver's license. Efforts continue to bring various organizations
together in a collaborative manner to advance driver education and
safe driving practices. We are working with Janice Rehak at DESE to
find solutions to the need for driver education and the shortage of
qualified instructors. Allyn Workman is working with Brett
Robinson (ADTSEA) to bring them to Missouri to provide instructor
training to us. Details
on this are in the works and more
information to come soon.
With the leadership of the Executive Board, and the support
of MODSEA members, we will do our best to promote, improve, and
advocate for the need for driver education in Missouri.
My personal goal is to organize more
professional development opportunities for those who teach Driver
Education courses. Our organization is comprised of
some of the best driving safety professionals in the state. I
hope to implement the sharing of best practices in our content area
and to collaborate on ideas for future MODSEA conference topics.
This year (2019) we will have a presentation and
information on becoming a certified Driver Education Educator and
provide resources for current driver education teachers at the
annual MOSHAPE conference at the Lake of the Ozarks on November
8th-10th. I hope to see you there!
I would like to encourage you to
join
ADTSEA and to attend the ADTSEA national conference. You may

Sincerely,
Molly Kleiber
