1 vs. in Priority Areas TEAM OREGON conducted an analysis and comparison of both and curricula to measure how well each curriculum addresses the National Standards. Each curriculum was analyzed and annotated in every instance in which its content addressed a national standard. The resulting annotations were combined at the unit, section or module level for a fair comparison and ease of reference. As a hypothetical example, if countersteering is addressed five times in Chapter 4, Module 5, it is counted once for comparison purposes. If countersteering is addressed twice in Unit 4, Page 24 and three times in Unit 6, Page 4, it is counted twice for comparison purposes. The full comparison can be found in Appendix F. Only the text content of the two curricula was directly compared. The text included both the instructor classroom presentation (Instructor Guide) and student workbook. The results include both the curriculum text (narration) and interactive text. Range exercises were analyzed and annotated but are not included in the classroom curriculum comparison overall results. The comparison was done by a senior classroom instructor. Because the two curricula are so different in their respective deliveries, great care was taken to compare the content fairly and accurately. Even so, it should be noted that an asynchronous online classroom based on video, narration and interactive content is very difficult to compare apples-to-apples with an instructor presenting written material ( Instructor Guide) in person to a group of 12 students with an accompanying text ( Rider s Guide). Further, it should be noted that counting both the Rider s Guide and Instructor Guide is essentially counting the same content twice once as the instructor presents it and once as the student reads along. That said, because both resources (the online classroom and workbook) are available for students to review and study after the course is complete, it may well be a fair comparison. There are a total of 168 standards in the National Standards. The results of the comparison show how many times a standard is addressed at the unit level: 1 Copyright 214 TEAM OREGON Motorcycle Safety Program. Do not reproduce without permission.

The relatively heavy concentration of curriculum content addressing certain areas of the National Standards generally represents TEAM OREGON instructional priority areas. Curriculum Priority Areas The development team focused on eight curriculum priority areas based on needs of Oregon riders, defined as risk awareness, riding strategy, scanning, cornering and vehicle control skills, judgment, impairment, riding gear and group riding. Further detail and comparison to classroom curriculum is found below. The priorities are not listed in order of importance. 2 Copyright 214 TEAM OREGON Motorcycle Safety Program.
