New Jersey Parent/Teen Driver Orientation Facilitator Training Workshop Kean University in partnership with the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety and New Jersey State Police developed Share the Keys, a research based, data-driven program designed to reduce teen driver crash risks by increasing parental involvement Share the Keys is approximately 90 minutes in length, presented by facilitators in community based settings (i.e schools, libraries) and can be linked to parking permit requirements, classroom driver education programs and back-to-school nights The orientation is designed for parents and their teens in the prepermit or permit state of licensure (parents and their teens already holding a probationary license will also benefit) and includes a resource guide full of materials that support parental involvement and safe driving behaviors Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws are recognized as the single most effective tool for reducing teen driver crashes, injuries and deaths While New Jersey’s GDL is considered one of the most progressive and stringent in the nation, it must be clearly understood and supported by parents to save lives To that end, ensuring that parents and teens fully understand the risks and responsibilities associated with driving is essential to teen driver safety Parental involvement has a significant impact on teen driver safety Driving through the Eyes of Teens, A Closer Look, a research report from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Research Institute and State Farm, examined the impact parenting styles had on teen driver safety and found that teens whose parents set rules and pay attention to their driving activities in a helpful, supportive way are half as likely to be involved in a crash The report presents the numerous safety gains experienced through this balanced parenting approach (authoritative) and provides a series of best practices These best practices were used to define key objectives for Share the Keys; understanding the GDL, being a good role model, effectively enforcing the GDL from home, increasing practice driving hours and controlling the keys Facilitator Training Facilitator training workshops are conducted throughout the state and include a comprehensive review of relevant research materials and the unique learning approach used to construct the orientation After a presentation of the Share the Keys orientation, facilitators are guided through the research, learning approaches and interactive parent/teen exercises of the program CEUs and training certificates of completion are issued to those who have successfully completed the training Early registration is recommended as space is limited Facilitator Training Workshop Registration Form Date: Time: Location: Friday, January 25, 2013 8:30 am-2:30 pm Burlington County Emergency Services Training Center 53 Academy Drive Westampton, New Jersey 08060 Directions: www.co.burlington.nj.us Host: Burlington County Sheriff’s Office Cost: Free of Charge Presenters: Dr Claudia Knezek, Kean University & Violet Marrero, DHTS _ First Name Last Name _ Title _ Organization _ Street Address _ City, State, Zip _ Work Phone Work Fax _ Email Address Mail, E-Mail, or Fax Registration to: Kean University Attn: Dr Claudia Knezek Parent/Teen Driver Orientation Facilitator Workshop School of Natural Sciences C127 1000 Morris Avenue Union, NJ 07083 Phone: 908 -737-3653 Fax: 908-737-3666 Email:cknezek@kean.edu .. .Facilitator Training Workshop Registration Form Date: Time: Location: Friday, January 25, 2013 8:30 am-2:30 pm Burlington County Emergency Services Training...
