• Description:
  The study analyzed the effectiveness of commercial school programs, concluded that students successfully completing their driving instruction at these schools had driving records worse than those for students completing their instruction in the public and private schools, and recommended that commercial school instructors be required to take additional course work, that each school evaluate its own Performance Report to determine strengths and weaknesses of its program, and that the State Department of Education monitor the results of these actions. The research also concluded that the traditional classroom/behind-the wheel program was the most effective.
