The Grade 10 Driver Education course is designed to develop the skills necessary to obtain a New Jersey driver’s license and to give students an appreciation for the rights and responsibilities of being a licensed driver. Throughout the course of study, students will gain an understanding of the importance of safe driving practices as well as the rules and regulations for driving on the road. The students will explore the importance of vehicle maintenance as well as how to navigate vehicle problems that may occur while driving. Students will analyze the impact that their driving behaviors can have on those around them on the roadway. In Grade 10, students will learn how to prevent driving-related injuries and will follow the laws and regulations to keep themselves and others safe. In order to achieve these goals, the course will be guided by both the New Jersey Student Learning Standards and New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. The course ends with the State of New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Basic Driver Examination.
