Man: Oh, poor driving instructor, but don’t be upset, … Keep calm at all times.
D.I: No, I’m keeping calm; No, I’m not getting upset.
Man: Good, that’s the way.
D.I: Look, I’m the instructor and you’re the learner.
Man: All right. I’m the learner and you’re the instructor.
D.I: And this is my driving simulator, my classroom, and my chalkboard. It’s all mine.

That is completely unnatural in my US dialect. I take it to mean something like "That is the proper way to conduct matters."

To me it sounds like a short form of "That's the way to do it", which is a line from the Punch and Judy show, a British puppet entertainment for children.
It means "That's the right way to do it".
