Intended for course administrators, this guide is the first of three designed for a two-day inservice training seminar for driver licensing administrative hearing officers. There are four sections. Following a brief introduction, the seminar agenda is provided. Day 1 focuses on six units: (1) an introduction, (2) the highway safety system, (3) licensing agency research review, (4) legal aspects: hearing conduct, (5) the sanction decision, and (6) practical application: legal requirements. Day 2 includes the following units: (7) public safety: driver problem identification, (8) interpersonal dynamics, (9) practical application: the hearing process, and (10) course summary. The guide's third section reviews the developmental goals of the project which produced the three guides: definition and documentation of safety-related hearing officer's tasks, identification of training methods required to produce acceptable performance on documented tasks, and development and pilot test of a curriculum package. Legal, public safety, and interpersonal aspects of the hearing officer's role are emphasized as basic seminar foci. Section 4 gives program planning guidelines which relate to seminar instructors and participants, materials, equipment, facilities, and evaluation procedures. An appendix lists required seminar references. (Guides for instructors and participants are available separately. See note.) (CSS)
