Lesson syllabus
Pupils find it very helpful to have a continuous assessment of their progress during their driving lessons. This is why DIS provides a comprehensive lesson syllabus that can be printed out at the end of each lesson using PDA software or viewed by the pupil via the instructor’s Personal website.
The optional DIS Lesson syllabus marks a score between one and 9 for each subject that is covered during a lesson. The subject headings reflect DSA test requirements and seven is considered test competent.
Most pupils can expect to be marked on around five subjects each lesson and the score that is given is compared to the pupil’s previous best score in that subject. This helps prove that genuine learning is taking place.
The syllabus can even forecast the number of lessons a pupil will need to get to test standard, using a complex algorithm based on their progress to date.
It is not necessary for a pupil to be competent in earlier subjects before introducing more complex ones as the aim is to identify weaknesses in individual learning.
This can benefit parents or friends of pupils by directing their practice in their own car in between their professional lessons.
