California Driver Ed Video Updates, Mk. II

As your traffic safety education curriculum provider, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) is constantly working to improve the content of the instructional materials that we present to students.

A few months ago, we announced that we had updated our internet-based driver education curriculum with new video content, with the promise that we would roll out similar changes to the classroom lesson plan in early 2025. We are excited to now share the results of our efforts to modernize and improve our classroom driver ed instructional content.

The new content slightly increases the total time dedicated to video presentations, giving students greater exposure to multi-modal learning; and the videos are now more evenly distributed throughout the course for a consistent learning experience. For instructors, we've done our best to group related materials together to provide for short breaks from lecture.

To teach the latest version of the curriculum, you'll need to download the following items via your CA Course Provider administrative website (login required):

  • Lesson Plan: The table of contents and the course content itself have been updated to reflect the locations of the new video presentations within the lessons.
  • Student Workbook (and Instructor Version): The spaces reserved for the "quizzes" within the older videos that are no longer in use have been removed.
  • Video Files: There are a total of 18 new video (.mp4) files.

Please take a moment to download the new content and familiarize yourself with the changes.

(Note that the Ultimate Driving Challenge and National Driving Test #2 videos have been removed from the official curriculum and should no longer be presented to students.)

Make sure that you and/or any instructors you employ are presenting the latest edition of the curriculum, as you will be responsible for teaching/testing students on this new material!
