Abstract

In 1996, the Department of Education and the Transport Accident Commission developed a local-area based professional development program for primary and secondary school teachers in traffic safety education, the Traffic Safety Education Teacher Professional Development Project (TSETPDP). This project aimed to increase the level of traffic safety education activity in Victorian schools. In 1996, the Monash University Accident Research Centre conducted a survey to collect baseline data to provide a measure of the level of traffic safety education in schools. In 1998, the Department of Education is conducting the survey again. This paper outlines the key strategies of the TSETPD, explores their effectiveness and evaluates them in the context of the survey findings and analysis and within the context of programs and strategies adopted by other key traffic safety education support agencies. The paper then considers recommendations for further teacher professional development. (A)
