CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS
"Enhancing Presentation Skills - Getting the Most from Your Students" This presentation is designed to provide instructors with additional tools to enhance existing skills and provide teaching tips and techniques that can be incorporated into novice driver training programs. The presentation will target key issues that instructors face when teaching classroom and behind-the-wheel lessons. It will provide information on identifying and working with different learning styles and offer a minimum of 10 teaching tips/techniques that can be incorporated easily into existing training programs.
Richard Chidester is the Lead Instructor, Driver Training Operation at the AAA National Office. He has conducted participant involved training both in the classroom and behind-the-wheel for the past 17 years. Richard manages the AAA Approved Driving School Network nationally. His duties include curriculum development; program management and facilitation of train-the-trainer courses to support various AAA driver education programs.
"Judges As Driver Educators" The vast majority of drivers on the road have not had formal driver education. Even those who have are relying on weak memories and outdated understandings of the law. Judges, police and driver educators need to work together on educating all drivers on how to drive legally and safely.
Judge Steven A. Todd is a pro tem Circuit Court Judge that presides in the four traffic courts in Multnomah County. He also handles criminal matters (including DUII), community court, landlord/tenant, small claims, probation violations and stalking, but traffic has always been his passion. Judge Todd is a big believer in driver education and traffic safety classes. Many of the people he sees in court are sent to local traffic safety classes as part of their sentences. Judge Todd is active in many traffic safety groups. For several years, he has served on a community traffic safety coalition organized by the city of Portland.

Breakout Session #2
A: Lanes, Lines and the Law (presented by Honorable Steven A. Todd) Traffic control devices like lanes, lights and signs are intended to inform drivers of what they can and cannot do. Yet drivers, driver educators, police and judges often disagree on what they mean. This presentation will discuss the laws and rules that apply and what we need to do to inform drivers on how to obey them.
