Course Title: Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair 2 Course Number: T406161
Subject Area: Career and Technical Education Grade Level: 10th, 11th, 12th
Course Length:
18 weeks (18 weeks of content taught every day for one semester)
Prerequisite:
None
Standards addressed:
2007 ISTE Standards, 2013 NATEF Automotive Maintenance and Light
Repair Standards.
Course Description:
Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair 2 (MLR2) 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 electrical systems and engine performance systems, as well as the
fundamentals of hybrid vehicle information. 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 2 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.
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.
