Students Need In One Instant This Year
Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 cause of unintentional teenage deaths. The worst experience your school community may face is the death of a student through a preventable traffic crash – which most often involve driving distractions like texting and impairment.
For over a decade, IN ONE INSTANT has been providing students with the essential tools they need to make safe decisions behind the wheel .
The program offers students and educators:
- A flexible, engaging, and turnkey curriculum designed for in-person or virtual learning
- Minimal disruption to school schedules and instructional needs
- Options to implement in assemblies, one class period or expanded as a unit
- Content that educates students on an emotional level, for lasting impact
- Interactive activities that get high schoolers engaged and thinking about their choices
- Multimedia components using peer-relatable video and storytelling, real-life survivor testimonials
- Follow-up interactive activities that help students apply what they’ve seen and learned to their own lives
Teens will learn how to:
- Stand up to peer pressure
- Refrain from driving when impaired or driving with impaired drivers
- Utilize a designated driver
- Refrain from cell phone use/texting while driving
- Wear their seat belts
- Serve as ambassadors to their peers
IN ONE INSTANT Includes valuable support materials for educators, parents, and students as developed with expert input from: health and safety professionals, teachers, counselors, administrators, psychologists, parents, and teens themselves.
The curriculum is informed by both the Theory of Planned Behavior and Health Belief Model. This theory predicts human behavior based on personal attitudes, peer group and cultural norms as well as other factors. The Health Belief Model is based on the idea that people only change their behaviors when they believe themselves to be at risk for serious consequences. To get someone to change behavior, they have to be provided the tools needed to change risky behavior.
Our anonymous pre and post program surveys show that 86% more teens won’t text and drive after experiencing the program, and 91% more students won’t drive if impaired.

In One Instant’s success over the last decade in addressing safer teen driving has made a difference in thousands of U.S. schools. Its student-driven activities have been especially impactful and is only one of the reasons why I’ve recommended the program to every school district in our state.
