  5. Some Facts and Statistics About Driver Education in Illinois • Since 2006 there has been approximately 175,000 sophomores (Driver Education eligible) enrolled in Public High Schools In Illinois • Driver Education is a public school mandated subject. Schools must offer one class during the school day and one BTW either during the school day or outside the school day or both. • 64% of students of 175,000 (112,000) take Driver Education in our public high schools. We feel PHSDE serves a large need in Illinois. • Commercial schools are predominant in the suburban areas surrounding Chicago. • Our Association believed that there were not enough qualified Driver Education teachers being endorsed/certified.

  6. Statement of the Problem in Illinois • Lack of affordable and accessible endorsement programs for professional educators and undergraduates. • Reduction of programs offering endorsementsat State Universities • High Schools not able to fill driver education positions (especially rural high schools). • School districts needing to be more efficient with funds and tightening budgets. School districts in Illinois receive approximately $190 of reimbursement to cover DE costs. Districts can also charge a laboratory fee of up to $250 without filing for a waiver.

  7. Programs in Illinois prior to IHSCDEA TEP Illinois State Universities that no longer offered Driver Education Majors, Minors, Endorsements (from the 80’s): EIU, NIU, SIU, ISU, WIU, NEIU, U of I Active Programs offering endorsement courses: • Olivet Nazarene Univ. • Chicago State Univ. • Millikin Univ. • Greenville College

  8. What Led to Our Research? What Experiences Did Our Membership Have? Analysis (538 IHSCDEA members were surveyed from ten regional fall workshops in 2016) Questions we asked our members: • How Long Have you Taught? • What Endorsement Program did you go through? • Why did you choose that program? • Did your endorsement program prepare you for teaching BTW?

  9. Survey Results (73% IHSCDEA Members) Experience Level 1-5 = 23% 6-10= 22% 11-15= 17% 16-20= 15% 21+= 23%

  10. Survey Results (73% IHSCDEA Members) Where did you receive your endorsement? CSU= 21% GC= 17% EIU= 15% NIU= 13% MU= 12% SIU= 6% ONU= 4% WIU= <3% ISU= < 1% Other= <1%

  11. Survey Results (73% IHSCDEA Members) Why did you choose your endorsement program? Geographic= 40% Degree seeking= 22% (experienced members) Cost= 21% Online available= 8% Ride sharing= 2% Other= 6%

  12. Survey Results (73% IHSCDEA Members) Were you prepared to teach BTW after completion of the program? Yes= 66% No= 34%

  13. Free Response comments from Members • More hands-on instruction • More lab experiences with students • More help with instructional methods and technology • Less Expensive Programs • Accessible throughout the state • Help with Administration of programs (ISOS, IWAS, ISBE) • Use of ADTSEA 3.0 Curriculum and NTDETAS 2017 (National Standards)

  14. Our Vision based on Our Analysis of Research Created a Vision for a Program that: • Accessible statewide • Affordable • Meaningful Additional Considerations: • Cost effective • Utilizing current best practices in teaching • Utilizing personnel assets throughout the state of Illinois • Afford more money to instruction and less to administration • Partner with a university for accreditation.
