Course Description:Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair 3 (MLR3) allows students to explore career opportunities and requirements of a professional service technician. Content emphasizes beginning transportation service skills and workplace success skills. Students study safety, tools, equipment, shop operations, and the fundamentals of operation, maintenance, and basic repair procedures for automotive suspension systems, steering systems, and brake systems. Classroom and shop activities simulate automotive service industry operations through the use of training aids, shop vehicles, and customer work as available. Completion of Maintenance and Light Repair 3 will give the student a good foundation in the operation, maintenance, and repair of an automobile and prepare students for employment, further advanced training in a post-secondary automotive program, and NATEF certification. Content or instructional materials needed to teach this course:Textbook: Modern Automotive Technology, Duffy, Goodheart-WilcoxAutomotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES): Online curriculum and resource guide.All Data Online: Automotive service information2013 Automobile Task List, National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) The needs of English Language Learners will be addressed in this course by:Collaboration with ELL staff members to adapt instruction according to Individual Educational Plans. Strategies include developing lessons that foster inclusiveness, as well as, differentiate and scaffold instruction to challenge and meet the needs of all ELL students. The needs of students receiving Special Education Services will be addressed in the course by:Special Education needs will be met in the following ways: Allowing time for plenty of practice, conduct student-teacher conferences, break assignments into smaller, more manageable parts, use peer tutors, highlight important directions and key words, give shorter assignments, allow more time for completion, give short, easy to follow instructions, give immediate feedback and lots of encouragement, provide many opportunities for success, use visuals and manipulative materials when available and use cooperative learning strategies. The needs of students who need acceleration will be addressed in this course by:Modifying assignments based on student talent and interest. Gifted and talented students will be offered more in depth course materials allowing them to further develop their understanding of vehicle systems and given additional instruction in troubleshooting and diagnostic procedures. Gifted and talented students will be given opportunities to apply their learning to real world problems by repairing actual customer vehicles as they become available. Gifted and talented will also be given leadership opportunities that will allow them to grow their organizational and leadership skills. Racial equity and culturally relevant teaching will be addressed in this course by:Adapting educational research that affirms children learn best when their culture and language are reflected in the curriculum. Culture shapes our values, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and is an intrinsic part of who we are and how we identify ourselves. Students who see their culture represented in the curriculum are more likely to have a higher self-concept, and when students feel good about themselves they are more likely to be open with others and to learning. Integrated learning using technology will be fully utilized by:Providing students with a broad knowledge base in the application of industry based technological concepts. Students will be trained using current industry recognized tools and equipment. Students will also have access to current online service information including both aftermarket and manufacturer specific databases.
