Hello Wyoming Friends,

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for your continued support of School Training Solutions (STS) and the online training products we offer in Wyoming. I understand you have a choice when it comes to employee training, and I hope you continue to think of us when the need arises. If I can ever help with school bus driver training in any way, please let me know!

Consider STS for:

• WY School Bus Driver Training. Our Wyoming School Bus driver training is recognized by DOE as covering the classroom requirement for school bus drivers. It can also be used each year to satisfy the 6 hour in-service requirement.
• Defensive Driver Training. We offer a defensive driving curriculum that is intended for any driver operating a school owned vehicle (van, suburban, car).
• Incentive for Training and Advancement. School Training Solutions is proud to be part of Uinta County District #1’s commitment to safety and a unique solution to a common problem. Uinta County instituted an Advanced Driver Certification Program to retain drivers and provide incentive to be the best and safest drivers possible using STS courses and other online resources.

Creating an Incentive for Training

It’s no secret that training is necessary to keep skills sharp and knowledge current. The school bus industry has a stellar safety record for a reason. Even at the district level, it is possible to foster an ongoing environment of learning. It’s all about incentive.

Recently, Lincoln County School District #2 Transportation put in place a program that awards drivers who seek out continuing education. When criteria are met, these drivers receive a pay increase. The district benefits by having safer, more conscientious drivers, and decreased new driver training costs.

If you are interested in implementing a similar program in your county, STS is available to help in any way possible.

I’ve had varied success with setting a New Year’s Resolution. Years ago, I decided my resolution would be to run one 5K race each month for a year. I was successful that year, but that is not always the case. Many times, we set ourselves up for failure with our New Year’s Resolution. This year, instead of trying to lose 25 pounds by June, or go to the gym 6 days a week, my resolution is to simply exercise more. This year I found a great article that outlines tips for creating better resolutions. I’ve paraphrased below and linked to the full article here. Consider these tips as you work toward or modify your resolutions and goals for 2017.

10 Tips for Setting Successful Resolutions

Set intentions instead of strict expectations. Determine WHY you want to make the change. Get out of your own way. Create a theme. Set goals in line with your values. Avoid deprivation. Monitor your progress. Set smaller goals that build to a larger goal. Avoid perfection. Create a goal-friendly environment.
