INSTRUCTION

Traffic Education

Students, fifteen (15) years or older, or who will reach their fifteenth (15th) birthday within six (6) months of the course completion, are eligible to enroll in the Traffic Education Program.

The purpose of the program is to introduce students to a course of study which should lead to the eventual development of skills appropriate for a licensed driver. The traffic education program is designed to meet the criteria established by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.  These criteria include requirements for instructional time, for instructor certification, recommendations for course of study, and reimbursement procedures.

The teacher will consider “Traffic Education for Montana School, A Resource Curriculum” as the primary curriculum reference guideline for preparing classroom instruction.
