ACT College Readiness Standards The College Readiness Standards are sets of statements intended to help students understand what is expected of them in preparation for the ACT. These standards are integrated into teaching and assessment strategies throughout the curriculum framework. Preface Secondary vocational–technical education programs in Mississippi are faced with many challenges resulting from sweeping educational reforms at the national and state levels. Schools and teachers are increasingly being held accountable for providing true learning activities to every student in the classroom. This accountability is measured through increased requirements for mastery and attainment of competency as documented through both formative and summative assessments. The courses in this document reflect the statutory requirements as found in Section 37-3-49, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended (Section 37-3-46). In addition, this curriculum reflects guidelines imposed by federal and state mandates (Laws, 1988, ch. 487, §14; Laws, 1991, ch. 423, §1; Laws, 1992, ch. 519, §4 eff. from and after July 1, 1992; Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act IV, 2007; and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001). Using This Document Unit Number and Title Suggested Time on Task An estimated number of clock hours of instruction that should be required to teach the competencies and objectives of the unit. A minimum of 140 hours of instruction is required for each Carnegie unit credit. The curriculum framework should account for approximately 75–80% of the time in the course. Competencies and Suggested Objectives A competency represents a general concept or performance that students are expected to master as a requirement for satisfactorily completing a unit. Students will be expected to receive instruction on all competencies. The suggested objectives represent the enabling and supporting knowledge and performances that will indicate mastery of the competency at the course level. Suggested Teaching Strategies This section of each unit indicates research-based strategies that can be used to enable students to master each competency. Emphasis has been placed on strategies that reflect active learning methodologies. Teachers should feel free to modify or enhance these suggestions based on needs of their students and resources available in order to provide optimum learning experiences for their students. Suggested Assessment Strategies This section indicates research-based strategies that can be used to measure student mastery. Examples of suggested strategies could include rubrics, class participation, reflection, and journaling. Again, teachers should feel free to modify or enhance these suggested assessment strategies based on local needs and resources. Integrated Academic Topics, 21st Century Skills and Information and Communication Technology Literacy Standards, ACT College Readiness Standards, and Technology Standards for Students This section identifies related academic topics as required in the Subject Area Testing Program (SATP) in Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and U.S. History from 1877, which are integrated into the content of the unit. Research-based teaching strategies also incorporate ACT College Readiness standards. This section also identifies the 21st Century Skills and Information and Communication Technology Literacy skills. In addition, national technology standards for students associated with the competencies and suggested objectives for the unit are also identified. References A list of suggested references is provided for each unit. The list includes some of the primary instructional resources that may be used to teach the competencies and suggested objectives. Again, these resources are suggested, and the list may be modified or enhanced based on needs and abilities of students and on available resources. Executive Summary Program Description Collision Repair is a pathway for students in the Transportation career cluster. The following description is from the current Standard Course of Study for Career–Technical Education, Mississippi Department of Education. Collision Repair is a hands-on program that will prepare students for employment or continuing education in the collision repair industry. The content is based on industry content. The content consists of fundamentals; mechanical/electrical components; nonstructural analysis and damage repair; structural analysis and damage repair; and painting and refinishing. The program is aligned with the NATEF 2006 Collision Repair and Refinishing standards, which were retrieved May 1, 2006, from http://www.natef.org. Industry Certification The Collision Repair pathway was written to incorporate the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) and the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) learning objectives, content, and hours. Any student who successfully completes this program will be eligible to apply to obtain the ASE exams. ASE requires 2 years of employment before certificates are issued.

Research Synopsis Collision Repair Technology Research As Americans continue their love affair with the automobile, collisions are apt to happen. Automobile damage can be as minor as a pebble hitting the windshield or as major as damage that involves straightening frames, replacing air bags, and repainting the entire vehicle. When collisions happen, the vehicle owner will most likely have the damage repaired. Who will make those repairs? Collision repair technicians are certified personnel with the latest training, knowledge, and skill to perform the task (I-CAR, 2008). Although one does not have to be certified to be employed in the collision repair industry, some insurance companies recognize industry certifications. I-CAR (2008) concluded that certifications benefit all parties involved from the customer to the repair business to the insurance company. The customer benefits from knowing that his or her automobile is being repaired by technicians who have the latest training available (ASE, 2008). The repair business benefits from having technicians with the latest training, which means higher quality repairs with fewer complaints (I-CAR, 2008). Results of the surveys indicate that collision repair technicians can be certified or trained by two main groups: The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and The Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR). Both ASE certification and I-CAR training are based on National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) standards. Industry Certifications National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) ASE was created in 1972 in response to customers wanting to be able to identify competent or incompetent technicians. The organization is independent and non profit. The exam questions are written by experts that represent a cross section of the automotive service industry nationally. These professions include technicians, manufacturers and aftermarket training representatives, customer service professionals, and automotive educators. ASE test content parallels actual collision work situations, and content is based on National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) standards. Question developers spend a considerable amount of time developing each question. Certification requires an individual to pass an exam and have 2 years of relevant hands- on experience. These certifications serve as the technician’s proof of competence and effectiveness. As of 2008, there are approximately 420,000 ASE-certified professionals around the United States. These occupations are collision repair/refinish technicians (34,540), master collision repair/refinish technicians (7,262), and collision damage estimators (10,650) (ASE, 2008). The Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) I-CAR was formed in 1979 as a not-for-profit collision training organization. Its focus is on activities and resources that assist the collision repair industry achieve a high level of training for its technicians, and content is based on National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) standards. I-CAR technical training programs are developed and delivered to technicians in the collision industry. I-CAR programs are instructor led. These instructors are trained by I-CAR. Instructor training consists of the participant being tested on his or her technical knowledge and ability to present the content and answer questions in a training atmosphere. I-CAR training is conducted in a hands-on atmosphere that mirrors real-world situations. Students receive a CD-ROM that includes instructional videos, interactive exercises, and a textbook. I-CAR training is centered on performance-based training methods. These methods allow for actual collision repair skills to the verified. Training courses are provided on all aspects of the collision industry. Employment Based on the employment projections from the Department of Labor, the need for these types of jobs will continue. The four areas of the industry are painters, body repairers, glass installers and repairers, and auto insurance appraisers. Projections Data Occupational Title Employment Projected Employment 2016 Change 2006–2016 Number Percent Painters, transportation equipment 54,000 59,000 4,600 Painting, coating, and decorating workers 31,000 32,000 1,100 Automotive body and related repairers 183,000 204,000 21,000 Automotive glass installers and repairers 24,000 28,000 4,400 Insurance appraisers, auto damage 13,000 15,000 1,700 NOTE: Data in this table are rounded.

(2008). Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008–2009 edition. Retrieved May 7, 2008, from http://www.bls.gov/soc/home.htm Painters (all areas) It seems like almost everything available for purchase is painted. These items are covered by a variety of coatings: Paint, plastic, clear coating, nutrients, and so forth. Painters and coating workers are the ones who make this happen. In vehicular repair, prior to applying any coating, the technician must prepare the surface. Sanding is the process that is used to smooth, rough up (some surfaces have to be roughed up so paint will adhere), or correct imperfections in the surface. Paint and other coatings can be applied by hand application, dip/vat method, or automated spray guns. For a technician to be skilled in all areas of painting usually requires 1 to 2 years of on-the- job training. New technicians gain valuable experience performing jobs such as trim removal, cleaning/polishing, general sanding, and masking. As they gain experience, they advance to higher technical skills under the supervision of the senior technician. Body Repairers For the collision repair technician to gain skill and knowledge, formal educational training is followed by on-the-job instruction. Technicians need good reading ability, basic mathematics ability, and basic computer skills. Collision repair technicians have a wide variety of tasks: Straighten frames, remove and fill dents and creases, and replace parts that are damaged beyond repair. New technicians assist senior collision repairer technicians in simple tasks until they have mastered the skills for more advanced tasks. For the new technician, it takes 3 to 4 years of hands- on training to become skilled in all areas of the collision repair industry. Glass Installers and Repairers Automotive glass installers’ and repairers’ work environment is different from the other areas of collision repair. Technicians can operate from a fixed location, or they can be mobile. The area of expertise is removing broken, cracked, or pitted windshields or side glass. Introduction to content can be on the job or in an educational setting. Most of the time, the skills and knowledge can be acquired and mastered within a few days to weeks. Auto Insurance Appraisers Auto appraisers’ duties are to inspect damaged vehicles and estimate the cost of repairs. Collision repair knowledge, skills, and experience are a plus for an appraiser. The appraiser must be knowledgeable in repair techniques to advise and give an unbiased estimate. Salary Based on the salary data from the Department of Labor, these positions in the collision industry provide an annual mean wage of $29,000 to $49,220. Technicians must realize that pay is consummate with training, skill, knowledge, experience, and certifications. New technicians in most cases will work as an apprentice for a senior technician. The time period can last from 6 months to a few years depending on aptitude and willingness to learn. Starting pay for beginning technicians can range from $7 to $9 per hour. As technicians grow in skill, experience, and knowledge, their salary increases. Occupational Title Employment Annual Mean Wage Automotive body and related repairers 1,080 $32,000 Automotive glass installers and repairers $29,000 Insurance appraisers, auto damage $49,220 Curriculum Content Results from the survey indicate that there are four employment areas in the Mississippi collision industry: Glass installer and repairer, body repairer, painter/refinisher, and auto appraiser. Most of the respondents from the survey indicated that they had never viewed a secondary curriculum but would be willing to when the curriculum is finished. They also indicated that they did not know what was taught in the secondary programs. They did emphasize that students need hands-on experience with the basic tasks that are required to be a technician. “Hands-on” does not mean perform the task one time. Repetition is the key to perfect the skill level and knowledge. Specific job skills requested are problem solving, cooperative learning, and organization. Specific academic skills identified are math, writing/reading, and basic computer skills. Specific collision repair topics mentioned are as follows: • Air Bags – Students need to know how to safely disarm an air bag. They also need to know how to work around an air bag. • Adhesives, Bonding, and Fillers – Students need working knowledge of adhesives, bonding, and fillers. They should be able to actually use adhesives, bonding, and fillers to repair certain damage. Knowledge of the different types of plastics and how to repair each was emphasized. • Frames – Students need to how to identify basic frame damage and then discuss repair techniques or procedures. The actual repair may need to be left to the community college. • Glass (stationary/moveable) – These tasks are not performed in most of the shops, and most shops subcontract this work to an independent mobile glass service. Although most shops do not perform these tasks, it is an area for which secondary career programs could introduce skill and knowledge. • Mechanical and Electrical – Less hands-on time for these tasks is needed. Students need to be able to indentify parts of the vehicle related to mechanical and electrical content. Larger repair shops have separate technicians who perform these tasks. In smaller shops, technicians may perform all aspects of the repair. • Paint and Refinishing – Students need to focus on the skills of preparation of a vehicle to prime and paint. These tasks must be done on different areas of a vehicle. • Welding – MIG welding is required, and plasma should be introduced. Students should learn how to identify the types of metals and apply basic repair procedures. Students also need to explore working with alloys, aluminum, and magnesium. • Estimating – Students need to be able to inspect damage, evaluate the most cost-efficient repair, and estimate a total cost. Written communication is a must for this task to be completed. • General Knowledge – The student must be able to read and understand technical manuals, diagrams, and schematics. A good understanding of the collision industry and mechanical ability is a must for the student to be successful. Certifications and training were not indicated as being requirements for acquiring a job. Training and certification may be encouraged or required depending on the particular business environment. All respondents indicated that new employees serve as an apprentice to a senior technician. During this time, the senior technician assigns simple tasks that need to be completed. As skill level, experience, and knowledge increase, more complex tasks are assigned. Collision repair skills and knowledge take time to perfect. The NATEF standards provide the tasks, which, if taught, should provide employers with an employee that has skills and knowledge that will enable him or her to be successful. The tasks need to be performed over and over again to be mastered and understood. For technicians to be successful, they must continue training throughout their careers. For students to be successful in the workplace, emphasis needs to be placed on a hands-on understanding of the material.
