Abstract
The Comprehensive Guidelines contains a detailed background for planning and conducting an evaluation of beginner driver education, and for integrating evaluation into program development and policy. The Guidelines were developed with input from a small group of experts who served as project team members with assistance from an Advisory Group comprised of driver education and evaluation experts from across North America. A 2-day consultative workshop, an online discussion board, a literature review, and a discussion paper were part of the Guidelines development.
The Comprehensive Guidelines cover a range of evaluations from simple to complex, and are written primarily for program evaluators, researchers, and other technical audiences. Actual tools, such as surveys, focus group guides, and log books that can be used or adapted for evaluating beginner driver education programs are included. There are two companion documents: Evaluating Driver Education Programs: Management Overview; and Evaluating Driver Education Programs: How-To Guide.
