Since we just got in from the Christmas parade, where our children were either on floats or marching with the Civil Air Patrol, I'm going to copy/paste a press release I just received on a new website that interests me, since we have a 15-1/2 year old in the house who will want to be driving soon. ~ Lori

» It's more than just teaching the rules of the road.
Your lessons extend beyond your classroom's four walls - and tackling real, relevant issues is just as important as what's discussed in the textbooks. Toyota and Discovery Education have teamed up to create Toyota Teen Driver, a comprehensive program designed to help you talk to your students about avoiding distractions and staying safe behind the wheel as they learn to drive for the very first time.
» Resources to get the conversation started.
Toyota Teen Driver offers a range of materials specially-designed for teachers and students:
In addition, you can enter the Educators' Challenge by developing an innovative and engaging project-based driving safety unit for high school students that will serve as a public service announcement regarding teen driver safety. You could enter* for a chance to win a complimentary teen driving event, " Toyota Driving Expectations (TDE)," for your community or virtual driving simulators for your school. Since 2004, TDE has helped nearly 16,000 teens and parents across the U.S. learn about defensive driving and critical safety issues. TDE helps teens learn what to expect from their cars, the road and themselves.
Use the resources available at ToyotaTeenDriver.com to ensure that your students understand the risks of distracted driving and the devisions they need to help make them stay safe. You have the power to initiate conversations that your students will remember when it matters most.
*No purchase necessary. Contest ends March 1, 2011. For terms and conditions, please visit ToyotaTeenDriver.com.
