Episode notes
Higher Levels Create Safe Drivers
- The higher GDE levels (3–4) shape safe, thinking drivers beyond vehicle control and test skills.
- Driving behavior stems from personal motives, emotions, and context which feed down into skills and crashes.
Move Learners From Repeat To Analyze
- Teaching people to repeat instructions isn't enough; higher-order thinking (analyze, evaluate, create) is required.
- Instructors must shift from giving fixes to helping learners analyze causes so they self-manage under stress.
Learn The GDE And Get Practical Training
- Learn the GDE matrix thoroughly and get training from people who can implement it in lessons.
- Use it to design client-centered learning that addresses behaviour, not just MSPSL routines.
