WELCOME TO ILLINOIS DRIVER EDUCATION TEACHER ENDORSEMENT PROGRAM


The Illinois Driver Education Teacher Education Program (IDETEP) Driver Education Certification Endorsement Program has been designed and written for teachers to add a Safety and Driver Education endorsement to their Professional Educators License (PEL). The IDETEP Driver Education courses will be offered throughout the entire year and will lead candidates towards the successful completion of the Illinois State Board of Education Safety and Driver Education endorsement.

The IDETEP has partnered with University of St. Francis, College of Education to provide Driver Education courses for educators interested in pursuing a Driver Education endorsement. Candidates benefit from a combination of asynchronous online learning and the face-to-face instructional support of an experienced educator/mentor in the area where they teach or live.

This program has a hybrid instructional format including traditional face-to-face classroom instruction, laboratory instruction, field studies, and behind-the-wheel (BTW) teaching instruction. Online distance education components, Driving Simulation and Multiple Car Driving Range instruction, and teaching evasive driving techniques will also be included in the coursework.
