“Safety is a priority for Toyota, and we are dedicated to helping drivers and passengers of all ages develop responsible habits to protect them on the road,” said Patricia Salas Pineda, group vice president, national philanthropy and the Toyota USA Foundation. “We are proud to partner with Discovery Education on Toyota Teen Driver to provide teens, parents and educators with the tools they need at this critical stage in teenagers’ lives.”
“Educators, alongside parents, are the number one influencers of young people,” said Mary Rollins, vice president of education partnerships, Discovery Education. “Discovery Education is proud to partner with Toyota to provide the digital resources parents and educators need to positively impact student behavior behind the wheel.”
Toyota Teen Driver offers the following content, tools and resources for teens, parents and educators, to help teens stay safe behind the wheel:
• Free Dynamic Digital Curriculum, including lesson plans, activities and discussion starters that empower educators to teach appropriate behaviors to both young drivers and passengers. With these resources, educators can help students to become more informed about the dangers of distracted driving, enable them to learn about key safe driving behaviors and inspire them to become advocates for safety to their peers.
• Educator Competition that challenges teachers to develop project-based driving safety lessons for high school students. Entrants must utilize the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the National Safety Council websites to develop one unit of study as well as a public service announcement on teen driver safety. Prizes include two Virtual Driving Interactive Simulators for their school’s Driver’s Education program or Toyota Driving Expectations, a free behind-the-wheel program for teens and their parents.
