Abstract

Transport SA is committed to supporting teachers to teach road safety. In 2000 TSA undertook an evaluation process to review the teacher-training component of the SRTS program. The outcome of the review highlighted the need to develop a training resource/manual to base the training on. The paper explains/details the process to develop the resource, discusses the components contained in the resource. The paper will explain how the training resource is used and presents the feedback that has been gathered since the implementation. The paper describes the key outcomes to the education program expected as a result of developing the resource, what is expected to be the benefits to schools with the introduction of the resource. We have been through a long period of time when road safety education was not on the SA primary school agenda widespread. This is slowly being changed to ensure that this continues teachers need to be provided with resources. In the times of competing priorities within schools teachers need resources that are relevant, practical and user friendly.
