Now in its third edition, this popular book has been fully updated. Written for existing and trainee driving instructors, this book demonstrates how instructors can develop their skills and improve their ability to teach driving as a lifetime skill. Drawing together the elements necessary for good driving instruction, there is also helpful advice on how skills can be developed and applied in practice. Topics covered include: verbal and non-verbal communication - body language, presenting a lesson, listening; written communication skills - hand-outs, keeping records, visual aids; specialist skills - devising tests, lesson planning, fault assessment; personal skills - problem solving, decision making. Also providing valuable preparation material for the ADI Examination and Check Test, plus advice on how ADI Training Centres can become Approved Training Establishments under the ORDIT scheme, Practical Teaching Skills for Driving Instructors, is the guide for every conscientious instructor. The authors each have more that 20 years' experience in the driver training industry and all are qualified as tutors of driving instructors. Margaret Stacey and John Miller are co-authors of the hugely successful Driving Instructor's Handbook (Kogan Page) which also has the recommendation of the DSA.
