Linking RYDA to the New Zealand Curriculum

The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has produced an extensive suite of road safety related resources directly linked to Achievement standards and the Motor Industry Training Organisation (MITO) also have developed a range of unit standards for contextualising road safety.

The RYDA Teacher’s Companion and website lists these resources next to each RYDA session topic to help teachers see how the NZTA resources can be used alongside the RYDA workshop context.
