Schedule:
•Once driving begins classroom sessions willnormally meet on Mondays and you will drive in a group of four once a week.
•The other three days you are not in class ordriving you need to take the time to do your drive education homework and projects. Late assignments willnot be tolerated since you have three days, 4 extra hours, to get weeklyassignments done.
Where to go on off daysfrom class or driving:
•You are assigned a room to be in during the daysyou are not driving our in class. You must stay in that area on the days youare not driving for emergency purposes. I also must be able to find you if Ineed to drive on a day in place of someone else. If you are not mature andresponsible enough to stay where you are supposed to be during these times thatindicates to me you are not mature or responsible enough to have a license. Ifyou are found in places where you are not assigned you may lose the privilegeto be in the class or may have other consequences such as no or delayedpermission to get a license. Rememberwhen you are not in Driver Education you should be working on driver Ed. classworkassigned to you.
Responsible Behavior:
•Driving is one of the most matureresponsibilities you will learn in your lifetime.
• Demonstration of immature, irresponsible orrule breaking behaviors are indicators a student is not ready to receive alicense. Because of this, a high level of maturity and responsibility must bedemonstrated in all areas of student life in order to get permission from theteacher to get a license at the end of the semester.
•Studentswho break rules, laws, or policies of the community, school, town, or United Statesmay be dropped from the course or not be given final permission from the drivereducation teacher to get a driver’s license.
Absences:
Free driver support registration key. Becausethe state of Vermont requires a certain amount of hours of driving and in classinstruction, there is not an option of missing hours of class and driving hoursand letting it go. If a student knows s/he is going to be absent on acertain date, s/he must arrange to switch driving days with another driver. Family vacations, planned stay-at-homedays, trips to go shopping, are all examples of unexcused absences.Please schedule doctor’s/ dentistappointments on days when you do not have class or driving. (That is threedays/week.)Written permission to get a driver’s license will not be issued tostudents with missing classes and missed state mandated hours. If astudent is absent on a driving day another student may be called down to drivein her/his place. Note to students: If you get called down to drive on a daywhen it is not your turn, you are expected to show up and be part of thatdriving group for that day. Do not save work that is due in other classes as anexcuse for not being able to drive.
DO NOT COME TO CLASS OR TO DRIVING SICK.The car is small and germs spread easily in that environment. Keep everyoneelse from getting sick by NOT coming during those times. Make up the time whenyou get back. There is not an option of making hours up after or before school.This must be made up by switching drivers.
If a classroom day is missed due to illness orother excused absences upon the first day of returning from anabsence, it is the responsibility of the student to confer with the teacher todetermine the work that needs to be made up. Because I do not have callbacks,after school is the only time I am available for missed classes (not driving).
UnexcusedAbsence: Parents and students must be aware that an unexcused absence mayresult in immediate course failure. An unexcused absence is an absence from anyphase of DE where the student has not presented a valid excuse as noted in theabove section or the teacher has determined the absence was not a valid excusedabsence. Being removed from this or anyclass for disciplinary measures or cutting class count as unexcused absences.
To Pass Driver Education students are required to meet performance standards both academicallyand for driving. Every performance must be met in order to ensure each studentis ready to safely drive on the road alone. All assignments in drivereducation must be passed in to receive permission to get a license at the end of the semester. The student mustalso pass the driving skills part of the class. This is usually only possible with plenty of practice (20 hours or more)outside of class. Students should have 20 hours of practice withparents/guardians by the end of the semester.
1.Testsand Quizzes count as summative assessments on what has been learned.
2.HomeworkAssignments: Text book reading assignments and Projects. Permission to geta license may not be given to students with late or missing homeworkassignments. Students who do not hand inhomework may not be able to drive in driver education. All homework mustreceive a grade of 80% or better. If a student does not receive an 80% on anassignment extra help can be given and the opportunity to increase the gradewill provided if asked for. Homework counts as written practice of conceptslearned.
3.Drivingskill and behavior. The student must be able to perform all target driving behaviorslearned to minimize risk, must demonstrate knowledge of the rules of the road, and must demonstrate a high level ofmaturity. Driving is a very mature responsibility considering motor vehiclecrashes are the leading cause of death among American teenagers, killingbetween 5,000 and 6,000 teenagers every year for the past decade (accordingto the National Highway Traffic Safety Association.)
4.Demonstrationof Personal Responsibility and Habits of Learning (includes everything that is not a content gradeparticipation, demonstration of learning, maturity and responsibility.)
5.FinalClassroom Exam: a cumulative written test at the end of the course
6.FinalIn-Vehicle Exam: cumulative based on performance of key behavioralpatterns.
