The “Driver Education and In-Car Curriculum” was developed to provide current information and techniques on teaching novice drivers the basics of motor vehicle operation. It was developed specifically to reference three textbooks:

Drive Right, 10th edition, published by Prentice Hall

  How to Drive, 9th edition, published by the  the American Automobile Association

Responsible Driving, 2006 edition, published by Glencoe/McGraw-Hill

If a driver education program is using a textbook not listed above, the program will need to match the appropriate reading material of the text it is using in the “Resources” column of the curriculum. It is recommended that each classroom instructor receive and use a copy of the teacher’s edition of one of the textbooks and that each student receive and use a copy of the textbook while in the driver education program. The choice of text is left up to each individual school. Any of the four textbooks listed above will meet the requirements of a quality driver education program. Also, instructors and students should have a copy of their state’s “Driver’s Handbook” for use in the program. The “Driver Education Classroom and In-Car Curriculum” guide is divided into 10 units. These units will assist in the coordination of 45 hours of classroom instruction. Also included are a Skills Log and an In-Car Guide. Eight hours of in-car instruction are grouped into the In-Car guide and alternate forms of the final exam are provided along with unit exams.
