Wink Full Face

I strongly suggest a full face helmet. I saw some guys with correct Snell rating but with open face helmets at various Drivers Ed events with PCA. The thought of brakeing my jaw and knocking teeth out never appealed to me and I always wondered if those guys ever contemplated connecting with the steering wheel or were just claustraphobic.
If you get serious about DE you may consider the four or five point harness which holds you in place like no DOT seatbelt ever can, leaving you time to aim the car rather than to fight keeping your position behind the wheel. Just some thoughts to pass on.
