Practical Strategies for Infusing College and Career Readiness Standards into Automotive Instructional Programs
Joseph Czarnecki, Ph.D.
Resources in Reading
While much of the reading and writing portions of the common core standards represent familiar requirements, the high degree
of rigor and the combining of previously separated skills and competencies raise new challenges for both students and teachers.
This presentation shows practical instructional strategies, techniques, and materials for both instruction and assessment that will
enable students to achieve automotive technology certifications and transfer certification credits to college credits under the new
College and Career Readiness Standards.

know where the manufacturers stand on biodiesel approvals?
The seminar from the at the National Biodiesel Board team will update update your knowledge of biodiesel. You’ll learn the latest
on OEM positions on biodiesel and how biodiesel works with new technology diesel engines, as well as important updates on
changes to ASTM biodiesel and diesel specifications.

Technician Challenges in Understanding and Recognizing Feed gas Anomalies
Chris Chesney, Senior Director, Professional Markets
CARQUEST Technical Institute
Today’s diagnostic technician is challenged with solving what, at times, appear to be strange unknown issues leading to
misdiagnosis of emissions failures or DTCs. Understanding the critical nature of the feed gas to the catalytic converter along with
a recognition of what normal feed gas strategies look like will help ward off many misdiagnosis adventures. This session will not
result in a full understanding of the "whys" of feed gas anomalies but will assist in helping to identify the normal.
Location: Renaissance Place I
Environmental, Hazmat, and Safety Best Practices
Charlie Ayers, President
Coordinating Committee For Automotive Repair (CCAR)
EPA and OSHA require training on safety and environmental best practices at the beginning of employment (before entering the
shop) and at least annually thereafter. This session will increase awareness of environmental, hazmat, and safety best practices
in the auto repair industry and identify resources to make the industry a better place for everyone involved.
Among the topics to be covered, OSHA revised its HCS (Hazard Communication Standard) to align with the GHS (Global
Harmonization Standard). Among the changes are new labeling elements and a standardized format for SDSs (formerly known
as Material Data Safety Sheets, or MSDSs). Hazard Communication ranks second on the list of OSHA's top 10 violations. This
includes failure to have a written program, inadequate employee training, improper labeling, and MSDS/SDS deficiencies.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations require both initial and recurring training for handling
hazardous materials, including air bag modules, seat belt pretensioners, and batteries, among others.

ASE Student Certification: The Gateway to Professional Credential
Wanda Bloomer, Manager, NATEF Operations
NATEF
Career & Technical Education (CTE) is increasingly under pressure to graduate program "completers" with national, portable and
stackable industry-developed and -recognized certifications, as accountability evidence for the educational system. ASE Student
Certification is designed as an entry-level certification in the development of technical skills and knowledge that begins with the
educational system and continues progressively throughout an individual’s career.
Developed to the NATEF instruction standards Task Lists, using the same rigor and methodology as the regular, professionallevel ASE certifications, ASE Student Certification is a cost-effective, locally administered introduction to automotive service
industry professional certification. This session presents an overview of what the ASE Student Certification tests are, what they
cost, and how they are administered.
Attend this session if you are a secondary or post-secondary automotive, collision repair/refinish, or truck/diesel instructor who is
unfamiliar with this relatively new certification offering from ASE or if you just want to understand more of the ins and outs of ASE
Student Certification testing.

Five Steps to AYES
Trish Serratore, NATEF/AYES President
AYES
AYES is the student development focus of the ASE Industry Education Alliance, whose goal is to identify highly interested and
motivated high school students and guide them through a series of workplace and career development activities including, where
possible, a "summer" internship, and to then expose them to the business/employment community in and around NATEFaccredited programs.
Much about AYES has changed since it became part of the ASE Industry Education Alliance, but the core quality elements
remain. Breaking the process down into five steps, this session will present a roadmap to developing AYES Students in your high
school automotive technology programs, starting with an overview of the AYES qualification process, using your program
advisory committee to build strong local business-education partnerships, getting started, and introducing the tools and
resources available, including the field/area managers.
If you have ever wanted to be a part of the AYES Student career readiness process, but don't know where to start or who to
contact, this session is for you. Or if you just want to understand the facts about AYES, AYES Students, or the internship
process, come join us.

NATEF: A Walkthrough of the Accreditation Process
Chuck Roberts, NATEF/AYES Vice President
NATEF
NATEF accreditation is a detailed organization and documentation process, which can be intimidating and time consuming if not
clearly understood and planned. Whether you are preparing an initial application, planning a renewal, or simply want to gain a
better understanding of it, this session will present an overview of NATEF accreditation. Discuss the tools and resources
available, walk through the process from the self-evaluation and review the application process through the on-site visit.
Working directly from the evaluation forms, we will discuss various strategies and approaches to meeting the standards, and
level-set expectations as to what the evaluation team and ETL will be seeking for documentation. Also included is a peek into
recent or pending changes to the program standards in the areas of workplace/employability skills, work-based learning, and
integrated academics.
This session is well-suited for school personnel in the process of or planning to submit an application for accreditation (initial or
renewal), instructors who have not previously been involved in a NATEF evaluation or veteran instructors who may be able to
share their experiences and insight with their less senior peers in attendance.
Location: Fletcher Place II
Team-Based Learning: Beyond Small Groups
Tim Dwyer, Automotive Educator
Oklahoma State University
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a strategy to transform a group of students into high-performance learning teams. How do we
encourage them to come to class with “first contact with content” and not waste valuable class time so they can get to the handson part they really learn from? TBL answers this question and more.
You will leave this class with ideas you can use in your classroom immediately – ideas that I have been using for 8 years now
and can show you how and why they work! Discussions include individual testing that allows for splitting answers, followed by
the same test taken again in a team environment using scratch off answer sheets.
Peer reviews are to be discussed; as well as application exercises that encourage student engagement. TBL also allows the
class to decide grade weights and write their own exams, possibly considered controversial, but proven to be effective. The idea
is to allow the student to be accountable for their own education and the instructor to become more of a classroom facilitator.
TBL makes learning fun for both student and instructor, and fun means student engagement. TBL challenges traditional lecture –
based education with a shift of educational accountability from the instructor to the student.

Electrical Perspectives
Lyle Taylor, Training Director
ATech Training
Typically, the most difficult concepts for new automotive students to grasp are electrical attributes (Voltage, Current, Resistance,
and Power) and Ohm's Law. So what happens when their measurements seem to contradict the “laws” they have been taught?
In this session we will build various circuits and use them to evaluate some different ways of presenting Ohm's Law to students in
order to help them comprehend the relationship between those attributes.
