The internet-based school route plan

The internet-based school route map has been offered and sponsored nationwide by Continental AG and Landesverkehrswacht Niedersachsen eV since 2007: A tool commissioned by the two institutions offers the possibility to easily and conveniently create and print out graphic school route plans for one's own residential area using a computer . A detailed PDF manual and step-by-step support provide assistance. However, the need to register and log in has probably contributed to the relatively low likelihood of downloads, as the documented user numbers show. As of July 2012, only 204 plans had been published.

The self-developed school route plan

The Post's own school plan was part of the learning model of the traffic education of the Child from the early 1990s of the Karlsruhe Transport educators SA Warwitz traffic education introduced. It is a very learning-intensive, child-oriented and didactically valuable procedure that takes the natural learning processes of the child and his creativity as a starting point: According to the discovery learning method , the children are instructed to explore their own way to school accompanied by an adult who is familiar with traffic to perceive and localize the difficult and dangerous places yourself and to define the most advantageous route in your own map. The further development to an attractive board game, the way to school game , enables the children to enrich the way to school with experienced and / or imagined events and to practice and consolidate their way to school mentally. ––

Municipal funded children's district plans

In the mid / late 1990s, municipalities and institutions increasingly took up the idea of ​​so-called children's district plans . The children were called upon in kindergartens , elementary schools and associations to discover, photograph and report things that were of interest to them in their living area, such as play areas, bathing areas, sports facilities, sources of danger, adventurous meeting places. The main aim was to include the needs of the children in further spatial and urban planning. As a kind of by-product, the best transport routes for the children were also developed and recorded in the plans. In practice, however, the influence of the adult supervisors has proven to be very dominant in the complex task.
