About California Safe Driver
At California Safe Driver, we believe that when it comes to safe driving, education and awareness save lives. That is why our highly trained public safety professionals provide the National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Courses, Alive at 25® and "ADoD" / Attitudinal Dynamics of Driving.
Why Is Our Online Learning So Effective?
After much research on how best to support an effective and interactive curriculum to support our cognitive behavioral based courses, we have chosen to incorporate the Kahoot! Program.
Evidence shows that impactful learning includes social, emotional, and academic integration. That's why we facilitate curriculums utilizing an interactive, cognitive behavior therapy based approach to learning. And we make them fun too!
How do we know what works?
We use the best law enforcement experienced, National Safety Council trained facilitators, teach them how to use cognitive behavioral therapy strategies, and create a highly interactive classroom community. Students become active learners, and facilitators check learning throughout the class. Our well trained and experienced facilitators are sensitive to the students' learning process, and care deeply about their success. Additionally, at the conclusion of each course, we check students' knowledge and engage them in anonymous open ended course evaluations. These evaluations are used to continually monitor the courses' success in helping students identify and change their behaviors; as well as reveal any areas where we may need to improve.
Other programs may teach the class, we facilitate the learning.
Learning Theory
Kahoot! draws upon ideas from the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) of motivation, developed by Richard Ryan, PhD and Edward Deci, PhD. SDT states that there are two different types of motivation, extrinsic and intrinsic. Intrinsic motivation takes place when an individual engages in an activity because they find it truly enjoyable, whereas extrinsic motivation takes place when an individual engages in an activity to achieve an outcome (for example to receive a reward, good grades, money, etc.). Kahoot! incorporates both types of motivation in its design.
