How to Build a Better Driver Training Program

Have you ever worked with someone who's great at what they do, but not so great at leading a group of other people? It happens often.

In our world, it might be that rock star driver who was promoted to trainer.

The thing is, just because someone is fantastic behind the wheel, doesn't mean those skills translate to effectively teaching or leading others.

That's why picking the right person is absolutely imperative to the success of your driver training program.

So let's talk about it today.

I'm joined by Brett Brooks of Grey Ram Tactical, who has spent more than 20 years training school transportation professionals across the country.

He shares the biggest mistakes that districts often make when selecting trainers, what the strongest training programs look like, and how to evaluate if your program is actually working.
