Driver Ed Instructors are superheros to parents and teens in our community! Will you join our team of traffic safety experts?
Benefits
|
Few other employers allow their employees to identify their work availability. As an instructor, you will offer your availability to work about 2 months prior to the start of a course session. The program manager will then assign you students who are desiring services at those times. Time off can be arranged with the program manager in advance. No work will be scheduled on holidays.

|
Our current rate for instructors is $26/hr. A pay raise to $33/hr is awaiting school board review and approval. It is unknown if we will hit our target increase, but you may inquire for an update. We also contribute to PERS retirement when new hires are already participating in PERS (educators).

As driver education takes place after school hours and summers, it is considered part-time. Although hours worked can teeter on full-time if desired, there are planned breaks between course sessions and holidays. Some instructors choose to work much more closely to full-time and some as few as 3 hours per week. Some may opt to work year round, while others may take certain seasons off.

other trade perks!
Opportunities for growth and development within the traffic safety industry abound! On-going training is key to instructor re-certification. This training can be performed online or in person, providing opportunities to travel and network. Conference attendance is a great way to satisfy instructor continuing education requirements. They are fun, engaging, and exist in various locations within our state and country. Becoming a driver ed instructor is more than just learning how to teach students to drive safely. You will undoubtedly become a traffic safety expert yourself and soon learn how vast this industry is. We partner with numerous organizations both public and private, all who sharpen our knowledge and tradecraft. On our team, you may opt to assist with administration, classroom instruction, or behind the wheel instruction.
Primary in our work is teen safety. Car crashes are amongst the leading causes of death in teens. The students in our courses come with the best intentions and willingness. Your guidance will leave a profound impact upon their ability to prevent driver risk. After years of teaching, you may not always remember the names and faces of your students, but they may remember yours with great fondness, parents too!
It is common to be skeptical when considering to become an instructor. I was before I started, but I quickly lost that skepticism when I completed instructor training with Western Oregon University and began working with students. What a fantastic journey this has been! I welcome you to reach out to me if you are considering this work. Our community needs you!
