News & Action for Today Welcome & Thank You to Mike Derleth the new AYES Region 3 Automotive Instructor Roundtable Representative NATEF Model – Status Report WI Department of Public Instruction CTE core standards & TEE standards revision

“Although slow to roll out, sometimes caution is expediency; when completely unveiled, it is this editor's opinion that this is what we've all been waiting for, from NATEF.” Marvin Linville AYES Western Region

“Three solid accreditations and truly the opportunity for everyone to participate.” “Stay tuned, we are almost there!” Marvin Linville AYES Western Region

Here’s a comprehensive overview of NATEF’s proposed automobile accreditation model. Because this model is at a ‘draft stage’, its specific components will not be finalized until the NATEF Automobile Standards Review Committee meets March 20, 21, and 22. The series of graphs that represent the current automobile accreditation model and the proposed three category model.

March meeting subject matter experts will also recommend minimum criteria for the respective categories, including: 1)the assignment of P1, P2, & P3 NATEF tasks 2) the required instructional hours 3) instructor ASE technician certifications 4) tools and equipment

This information will be shared sometime…

This information will be shared sometime mid to late April, 2012

The March Standards Review Committee consists of: Secondary and postsecondary automobile instructors representing the U.S. geographic cross-section. Representatives from OE-automobile manufacturers. Repair shop personnel from OE-automobile dealerships and independent repair shops involved in the decision- making process for hiring entry-level technicians.

Current Model – In Place For 30 + Years

Performance Indicators (By Grade Band) Learning PriorityK Students will develop an understanding of the Transportation System of the Designed World. The use of transportation system allows people and goods to be moved from place to place. Transporting people and goods involves a combination of individuals and vehicles. Transportation plays a vital role in the operation of other technologies, such as manufacturing, construction, communication, health and safety, and agriculture. Transportation Vehicles move people or goods from one place to another in water, air or space, and on land. Governmental regulations often influence the design and operation of transportation systems. Intermodal transportation is the use of different modes of transportation, such as highways, railways, and waterways, as part of an interconnected system that can move people and goods easily from one mode to another Production and management processes are necessary for the entire transportation system to operate efficiently. The design of intelligent and non-intelligent transportation systems depends on many processes and innovative techniques. Both current technology and future trends in transportation vehicles prove the dynamics of the field

Discipline: Technology & Engineering Content Area: Applications Standard: A18. Students will develop an understanding of and be able to select and use transportation technologies. Performance Indicators (By Grade Band) Learning PriorityK Students will develop an understanding of how transportation vehicles work. Transportation Vehicles need to be cared for to prolong their use. Lack of maintenance can lead to premature wear and failure. Transportation vehicles need preventative maintenance schedules to ensure longevity. Transportation vehicles have multiple components with different functions. Transportation vehicles are made up of subsystems, such as structural, propulsion, suspension, guidance, control, and support that must function together for a system to work effectively. Operational knowledge of individual systems is necessary to understand their interaction in transportation vehicle. Malfunctioning components must be repaired or replaced to restore intended operation. A transportation system may lose efficiency or may fail if one part is missing, malfunctioning, or if a subsystem is not working. All systems demand specific repair procedures to restore original performance. Transportation Vehicles need to be cared for to prolong their use. Lack of maintenance can lead to premature wear and failure. Transportation vehicles need preventative maintenance schedules to ensure longevity.

What is the ASE Industry Education Alliance? 2/1/2012 The ASE Industry Education Alliance is another step forward for the automotive service industry’s leadership in Career & Technology Education (CTE). It brings the essential elements for developing a career-ready workforce – schools, students, instructors and trainers – together in a new framework, which provides the clarity, consistency and credentials that industry seeks in determining why and how to support the development of tomorrow’s technicians.

Within the Industry Education Alliance, NATEF facilitates the development and maintenance of program standards for automotive technology education. Developed by subject matter experts from industry and education, these standards address curriculum, tools and equipment, instructor qualification, and administration. The process ensures a level of consistency nationally, while providing some flexibility for schools to meet local employment needs.

The AYES model prescribes a series of activities through which the student opts to proceed, earning credentials that demonstrate career-readiness. The capstone of the AYES model is the internship, in which qualified students work in a structured environment, under the direct supervision of a trained mentor – usually a master technician. In addition to the opportunity to apply the technical skills and knowledge learned in the classroom, the student learns the behavior expectations that employers’ desire.

The classroom instructor is the key individual on whom the “system” relies to effectively deliver the educational elements to students; the “hub” of the alliance, delivering the technical and academic knowledge, establishing and nurturing the relationships with the local business community, and keeping abreast of emerging trends and technologies. NACAT, the North American Council of Automotive Teachers is the membership organization of the ASE Industry Education Alliance that supports instructor development, to enable them to meet these challenges.

Rapidly changing automotive technology makes it difficult to know what the student we are preparing today will face tomorrow. It is fairly obvious, however, that in addition to having the skills and knowledge to be career-ready, tomorrow’s technician will need to be able to unlearn and relearn technological concepts and procedures. The Automotive Training Managers Council – ATMC – is the organization within the ASE Industry Education Alliance that delivers this value.

Although industries in other Career Clusters have comparable organizations or initiatives supporting CTE, the automotive service industry is perhaps unique in that all the interest elements share a common tie in the ASE Industry Education Alliance. The single, consolidated organization provides a simple, easily understandable message and position that benefits all stakeholders – students, parents, employers and partners.
