Wanted: theory teacher Safe on the road! Stay out of the blind spot.

Children are sometimes rash, playful and thoughtless. This makes children vulnerable, especially in traffic. Children suddenly cross the road or come from somewhere behind. In combination with poor visibility of drivers of trucks and buses, dangerous situations often arise. Children still have a lot to learn in traffic. We help them so that they can gain traffic experience in a safe environment. That is why we give around 300 lessons per year at primary schools in the West region (North and South Holland) about the blind spot with large vehicles under the name 'Veilig op Weg! Stay out of the blind spot '.

What are you going to do?

As a volunteer you provide an online theory lesson about the blind spot in large vehicles in groups 7 and / or 8 of primary school. On the basis of a film, quiz questions and worksheets you guide the children step by step through the issues surrounding the truck. The subsequent practical lesson about a truck is given by a driver from a transport company.

In consultation with VVN you agree how many hours you are available.

We are looking for someone who

- Has experience with teaching in primary education

- Is able to transfer knowledge in a contemporary way

- Can connect with the level and experience of the children

- Has a good balance and can motivate and inspire children

- Can be used during school hours

- Is available in at least one of the municipalities below *.
