1. Why teach TSE?

• Primary school aged children are at significant risk when using the transport system

• Safe road use behaviour develops over time and needs to be constantly practised and reinforced in a range of different travel contexts

• All members of the school and general community share responsibility for the safety of children when travelling

• There is a duty of care as we encourage children more to use active transport – eg. walking, cycling – when travelling to and from school, it is essential they can do so safely

2. How to teach TSE

• Research shows that TSE requires continuous, age appropriate and sequential education across year levels

• It needs a combination of parents/carers and teachers working together to provide experiences in the classroom and in real traffic environments

• The Traffic Safety Education Strategy recommends a minimum level of TSE – Prep to Year 2, Years 6 and 7, and Year 10 – in recognition of the demands on curriculum and classroom time

• In primary schools use Kids On The Move and other TSE programs and resources

4. Kids On The Move and the VELS

• The VELS includes standards at six levels which are broadly associated with the years of schooling from Prep to Year 10. Kids On The Move focuses on:– VELS Levels 1 and 2 (students in Prep – Year 2)– VELS Levels 4 and 5 (specifically, students in Years 5, 6 and 7)

• Traffic safety education fits well within the VELS three interrelated strands of learning skills, knowledge and behaviours in:– Physical, Personal and Social Learning– Discipline-based Learning– Interdisciplinary Learning.

stopping distances, spatial relations– English skills can be developed through reading, understanding and

recognition of rules, advice, signs and road markings
