Abstract

RoadSense is a teacher professional development programme funded by the NZ Land Transport Safety Authority (LTSA). Schools participate in workshops to receive resources, share ideas and activities for classroom, school and community. RoadSense has involved the development of quality resources (including the RoadSense website) to promote road safety and enhance existing classroom programmes. RoadSense also emphasises the creation of partnerships and networks between agencies, schools, teachers and students in order to reflect on, talk about and change road safety practice. Alongside the programme runs a process evaluation designed to capture the reality of the implementation issues and improve the work in schools. The results have been encouraging. In June this year the 419 teachers on the first year of the programme were surveyed with 323 teachers, 93 per cent of the response, agreed that being part of RoadSense had increased the amount of road safety education in their classrooms.
