NHTSA Child Pedestrian Safety Curriculum

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations's Chld Pedestrian Safety Curriculum inlcudes age-appropriate lessons for sutdents in grades grades K-5. This user-friendly and adaptable curriculum incorprotes both skill-building and knowledge-based learning and meets six Georgia physical education performance standards; four for Physical Education and two for Health Education.

We’ve created a short “how to” video on the NHTSA Child Pedestrian Safety Education curriculum. The video tells you more about the curriculum and includes example pages of:

  • the five lessons;
  • how the curriculum is adapted for different age groups;
  • what resources are available for teachers; and
  • take home materials for parents.
