CORE COMPETENCIES AND KEY SKILLS
FOR DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAMS
IN MISSOURI HIGH SCHOOLS
The fundamental goal of driver education is
to prepare individuals to operate motor vehicles legally, safely and
responsibly in the complex environment of our
streets and highways.
Numerous competencies and skills must be mastered to reach that goal. In
addition to mastering the physical and mental skills of safe driving,
students must acquire the knowledge, and develop the attitudes and
behaviors necessary to assuming the social and financial responsibility
associated with operating
motor vehicles. Students who master the
competencies and skills in this publication will achieve the goal.
This publication contains competencies and skills --
learner outcomes -- which can be used as the framework for developing
effective driver education curriculum.
The competencies and skills, when
organized into coherent units of instruction, taught using proven
techniques, and assessed regularly for mastery, can help assure
that the
goals of driver education are achieved.
