The Real World Big Yellow Bus Driver

Strategies presented in the Real World Big Yellow Bus Driver will improve discipline, reduce referrals, increase safety, increase parental involvement and improve both the recruiting and the retention of school bus drivers. Everyone having an interest in public education should read the Real World Big Yellow Bus Driver. The Real World Big Yellow Bus Driver addresses important issues of driver and student retention as well as student safety. The number one reason people refuse to become a school bus driver and the reason many bus driver's quit is their inability to effectively deal with student discipline. Others who quit were unable to reconcile school bus driver compensation with the rigors of managing student discipline. The truth is school bus drivers are paid way less to transport the "precious cargo" than other commercial drivers are paid to transport gravel, junk cars, and soda. After reading the Real World Big Yellow Bus Driver everyone will know what it takes to be an effective big yellow school bus driver in the real world. Students refusing to follow school bus safety rules create an avalanche of time consuming issues not only for school bus drivers but for school administrators and parents as well. Student distraction from the safe operation of the big yellow bus is the number one safety concern of school bus drivers everywhere. Seeing drivers quit out of frustration moved me to write this book using real world strategies that effectively deal with student discipline in today's public schools. School bus drivers want students to succeed. We work very hard to set them up for success. We work all the time at keeping them on the bus while some students work just as hard trying to get kicked off. The Real World Big Yellow Bus Driver explains why you should do this and not something else using real world examples of commonly encountered student issues. Solutions are based on easy to understand reasoning for solving discipline problems. From this approach you understand how to work through the issue when given the facts and the rules to reach a real world solution. While many students comply with bus safety rules others simply refuse to act safely requiring a more robust and real world strategy. A strategy that keeps more students riding to school every day on the bus. The Real World Big Yellow Bus Driver is unique in providing real world solutions to real world issues.

About the Author

I started driving the byb out of my love of operating large vehicles and as a public service before formal retirement set in. Today, I am not only a byb driver, which I love doing, but a behind-the-wheel trainer of future byb drivers seeking their commercial driver's license as well as a safety instructor. I have also become a fan of school discipline techniques and have read many learned articles on the subject. For myself, I need to know why something is the way it is in order to learn it.
My primary goal was helping more byb drivers continue driving. I've seen excellent drivers quit out of frustration with student discipline issues and compensation. It bothered me to see such good people give up. Often key points of how to do something and why you should not do something else were to blame. I saw a need to publish a real world how to book about managing students aboard the byb. Again, driving is the easy part, dealing effectively with student discipline, school administrators, parental development and bus managers were the real world challenges. Real world challenges that were quiet honestly rarely addressed until this book.
After the first week of driving the byb I became aware of the real learning curve for new drivers. Especially when dealing effectively with students, parents and school administrators. Drawing from my professional background in continuous process and quality improvement coupled with years of training adults on complex processes this book presents usable and important strategies that solve many issues facing byb drivers on a daily basis.
Moreover, I immediately recognized informational and application short-comings of typical byb driver training that failed to focus on real world strategies and examples of dealing effectively with student discipline today. This book came about to help new byb drivers become not only successful but a happy byb driver. This book will fast-forward your skills and remove a lot of the pain and suffering from trial and error learning. It should also lift your morale and address the looming issue of poor compensation given all the physical and mental skills required to safely transport the "precious cargo."
To my knowledge this is the only book that discusses real world issues using case examples then explains why you should do this and not something else when managing student discipline in today's public schools. Teaching adults the why's and wherefores are critical to understandi...
