Every instructor knows the learner who passes comfortably and then, a few months later, has a bump, a near miss or a scare. Nothing on the test sheet predicted it. This guide is about that gap, and about the framework that explains it better than anything else: the Goals for Driver Education, or GDE matrix.

What is inside

• The four levels of the matrix, from handling the car to the person behind the wheel
• The three columns: knowledge and skills, risk-increasing factors and self-evaluation
• How the European HERMES project and the CIECA Road User Education report link to your lessons
• Why self-evaluation has to be coached rather than taught
• Three practical things to try on your next lesson at the end of every part

Fourteen short parts in a 42-page PDF you can read on your phone or print for your training file.
