Short Progressive Steps If instruction is given to your student who is learning to drive, - in short progressive steps then it is likely to lead to sustained interest from pupils. By using appropriate questioning towards your student then you will begin to establish their attitude, norms and motivation when learning to drive. When the Knowledge of your student increases then your investment as an instructor will begin to decrease. When a pupil makes a mistake it is part of learning therfore you need to give them time to reflect on their mistakes, rather than telling them what they have done wrong. Ask questions, give them time to think. If they find this difficult maybe give them some hinters before the correct answer. The way we as instructor process information about the road ahead needs to be more than one step ahead of the student so that we can stimulate their judgement. Both the instructor and the student interpret what we see hear and feel, but in a different way, A lear...

How To Introduce A New Subject When you are ready to introduce a new subject to your Learner Driver Students, weather it be a new area to focus on or a manoeuvre the  you should start with a verbal explanation. However you should encourage your student to explain their understanding of the subject and involve them more by questioning what they think they should do so that it is less scripted and more discussion. The discussion is then followed by a demonstration, then the student is given an opportunity to check their understanding.  Then they can consolidate this by practicing. This usually takes 3 attempts to get reasonably right. During each attempt we suggest you use questions to stimulate the students thinking - what should you do next? What is happening behind you? What did you forget to do? What must you remember to do? What went wrong? How close are you? Are you in the space? How well did you feel that went? There are lots of questions that you could...

Driving Lesson Plans There are no specific lesson plans or rules on how a lesson should be structured when it comes to teaching someone to drive. Instead you should tailor your lesson plans around the clients individual needs, thus achieving Client Centred Learning. What is the structure of a Driving Lesson with 4front Driving School? When you teach a course to your students, your training must be individually structured to meet your clients own personal needs and requirements. Here at 4front  Driving School  this means that the lessons are structured differently for each individual student as everyone is different and will work at their own pace.  As lessons progress and your students move forward to the next level, the structure of each lesson is tailored around them - 'the learner'. We never use a one lesson fits all approach. We  change the pace and teaching technique to suite the level of ability, knowledge and skill . As a general guide, the u...
