Multi-Cultural Competency-Based Vocational Curricula. Auto Body Repair. Multi-Cultural Competency-Based Vocational/Technical Curricula Series.

This document, one of eight in a multi-cultural competency-based vocational/technical curricula series, is on auto body repair. This program is designed to run 40 weeks and cover 7 instructional areas: use of basic repair tools; metal bumping (theory and practice); metal refinishing (theory and practice); panel replacement; glass work; spot welding; and basic frame straightening. A duty-task index lists competencies in each instructional area that the student should be able to perform at the end of the program. For example, in the glass work section, a student should be able to (1) adjust or align windows in doors; (2) remove damaged glass and install replacement; and (3) seal leaks around the windshield and rear window. In section 1, each instructional task area contains a list of performance objectives, evaluation criterion, performance guide, and a list of tasks to be covered. In section 2, the introduction and duty-task index is repeated in English, Spanish, and Laotian. Section 3 lists technical terms concerning auto body repair in English, Spanish, and Laotian. (CT)
