Welcome to 1st Choice driving schools learner driver training syllabus page, we have designed the lesson syllabus pages for all new students, trainee driving instructor and anyone who had purchased a teaching presenter so you have the knowledge on how to navigate it, we hope you find if informative and what you are looking for.
At 1st Choice we believe it’s important to give a step by step guide to help all students to achieve their
aims, objectives and strategies throughout their learner driver training. Each students learn differently so the job of an instructor is to teach each student so get the best out of ever lesson from the beginning topic that will be instructor-lead-lesson to more advanced learner where they will be given the opportunity to take full control of the lesson with client-centred-lessons.
So at the beginning of each lesson you and your instructor will discus the following aims and objectives:-
Lesson Planning
- Agree learning goals and needs of todays lesson
- Agree appropriate lesson structure (full, partially or independent level of instruction)
- Practice in a suitable training area
- Agreed if needed to adapt the lesson plan to help the pupil work towards their new learning goals if any verbal or physical intervention was made by the instructor
Risk Management
- Fully understood how the responsibility for risk would be shared on the lesson plan between instructor and student
- Directional instructions will be given in ADI format (Alert, direction and identify manor) given to the pupil clear and given in good time
- Agree if the students made a minor, serious or dangerous error on your lesson it will be broken down using F.I.S.H (fault, implications, solution & help) this method of feedback helps pupils understand what fault is being made and how to strategies on how correct the faults.
Teaching & Learning Strategies
Like mentioned earlier every student is induvial and each and everyone of you will progress at different rates so driving will adapt their lesson plan to help you achieve your driving goals.
- Your driving instructor will adapt their teaching style to suite your ability and ability
- Your driving instructor will continue to encourage you on your lesson and analyse any problems made and allow you to take responsibility for your own learning goals by giving you technical information to improve your techniques. Your technical feed back from your instructor will be ether given on the move or if feel needed by pulling you up on the side of the road somewhere safe, legal and convenient.
At the end of your lesson
At the end of each lesson you will have a debrief with your instructor giving you the opportunity to reflect on your performance on your lesson then you can set up new goals for your next driving lesson.
Using the lesson briefs
Setting up new goals gives your students the opportunities to read the lesson briefs that we be working on the following week, and it also gives you time to research the Highway code, u Tube and other social platforms. Our helpful syllabus gives a step by step breakdown information of all your skills needed for your success. With it being online it’s easy to access so you know what topic you will be coving on your next lesson and you can also recap the previous lessons in your own time.
