Educational Materials

Our cross-curriculum activity workbooks feature 12 pages of traffic safety activities. The workbooks are available for Grades K-1 and 2-3 in Math, Writing, Reading and Spelling. For Grades 4-5, there is one workbook, which covers all subjects.

When ordering, please tell us what grade you teach and we'll send you one workbook for that grade. Each page is perforated and can be easily removed for photocopying and distribution to the students.

To order, call 516/ 873-2377, fax 516/ 873-2355 or e-mail ebeetar@aaany.com

Best Route to School

As part of AAA's "School's Open, Drive Carefully" campaign, the Club provides teachers and parents with a handy one-page instruction sheet to help parents select the "Best Route to School". Parents are encouraged to download the form and then use it to review their child's planned route. Where possible, select routes with sidewalks, crossing guards or safety patrols. Teachers are encouraged to download the form and then to copy it for distribution to students, to take home to their parents. The forms are available for download in both Spanish and English

Free Video Loan Library

The Club makes our safety videos available to teachers for classroom use. These videos are mailed to you free of charge; you are responsible for returning them to our office by the due date (the loan period is two weeks). For a list of available videos and to request a loan, click here.

Discount for Defensive Driving Class

If a school wants to host a defensive driving course -- the AAA Driver Improvement Program -- we can offer a discount to school administrators, teachers and staff.

By completing the course, you (the principal operator) are entitled to a 10 percent discount on collision, liability and no-fault insurance. This discount is good for three years, which can be extended by re-taking the course.

Completion of the program also entitles you to a reduction of up to four points on your driving record. The course can be taken again after 18 months to reduce any subsequent points you might accrue.

If you originally took the course for savings on your insurance and later receive violation points, you do not have to wait 18 months to take the course to reduce these new points.

The six-hour course can be conducted in one day or in two, three-hour sessions.

Prices and Discount

The standard cost for the course is $35 for members and $45 for non-members. The discounted group rate for teachers is $20. Information and materials from the course may be shared with your students. So if you have 20 or more interested administrators, teachers and staff in your school, give us a call at 516/873-2364 to arrange for an on-site class.

Teen Driver Training Tools

Driver-ZED

Teens love computer games. Teens will listen to other teens. Put those two ideas together and you have "Driver-ZED," the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety's highly acclaimed PC-based driver training tool. These driving simulations ask teens to recognize and react to these risks. MAC and PC versions available.

Cost: $12.95 plus tax (and $7.95 for shipping and handling)

Call 800/ 305-SAFE to order.

Teaching Your Teens to Drive

Our research makes one thing clear--novice drivers need more training behind the wheel. The person most likely to supervise this training is a parent or guardian. However, to be a good coach, most parents need some help. "Teaching Your Teens to Drive" comes in both video and CD-ROM format. Included is a handbook with helpful information about each driving skill and a "contract" between parent and teen which helps set the family driving rules.

Cost: $26.95 plus tax for members, $29.95 plus tax for nonmembers (and $7.50 for shipping and handling)

Call 800/ 327-3444 to order.
