What makes a good driving school?

Our Classroom Instructors are both WA State OSPI certified public school teachers with endorsements in Traffic Safety Education and DOL Certified. They have had at least 12 quarter credits at the college level of Traffic Safety Education, with continuing education requirements (classes to keep up to date).  They have been taught how to educate students. 

Private Driver Training School Instructors are only required to do a course of observation 100 hours in length which includes instruction in classroom and behind-the wheel teaching methods and supervised practice of behind-the wheel teaching and techniques.  They have not been taught at the collegiate level on how to properly educate students. (RCW 46.82.330, (2) (d).

What would make a good classroom instructor—someone who has been trained, at the college level, to teach students. That is Alexis!

We use the Drive Right, 9^th Ed, text book that has been used in many Public High Schools throughout the US, as well as the WA State Driver’s Guide. The Driver’s guide states the ‘Rules of the Road’, but does not include everything a driver needs to know to be a safe and defensive driver.

We provide Student Activities to keep them engaged in the learning process and assist in different learning styles.

We provide videos—with discussion—to enhance the students learning.

We bring in guest speakers:

1. Thurston County Coroner (Deputy)

We teach a session on Automotive Maintenance. (Instructor has over 21 years US Army Automotive Maintenance Experience).

We cover about one chapter per class session, after every 3 chapters we have a unit assessment. The first two unit tests are 50 questions, Multiple Choice, The second two test are 40 M/C questions. The student must score 70% on those assessments. The Final Exam is 90 questions M/C and the student must score 80% to pass. There are also 3 quizzes the student must score at least 80% to pass.
