EndDD Elementary School Distracted Driving Lesson Plans
Working with educators and child psychologists EndDD.org developed the first of their kind, elementary school lesson plans for grades 2-3,4-5 and 6. We need to educate kids long before they get their licenses about distracted driving, how to recognize when their drivers are distracted and the right way to speak up so their drivers put down their phones. These lesson plans are interactive, with video and an animated character, "Sam," a meerkat who guides the students through the lessons. Students can arrange for elementary school teachers to do the lesson plans themselves, or can themselves do the lesson plans for students. Students can give presentation in-person or virtual depending on school and CDC guidelines.

Organization: End Distracted Driving
About Your Organization: Casey Feldman was 21 when she was killed by a distracted driver. She was walking in a crosswalk on her way to a summer job. We established EndDD.org to work with students and to reduce distracted driving crashes by creating awareness through innovative educational campaigns that were developed with consultation of students. We have held meme, GIF and video contests for students, had students develop social media campaigns, created PSA's and developed science-based presentations that can be given to students at all levels and parents and in community settings. Many students are presenters for our organization. Our presentations, and all of our activities are informed by listening to and actively seeking student input. That is why many of our messages are different from other organizations-we do not believe that simply telling people that distracted driving is dangerous will keep people from using their phones.
