Designed to help teachers of automotive services select the body of knowledge and experiences leading to the development of salable skills which might be necessary at various levels of complexity, this guide suggests an alignment of content, with teaching suggestions, for use in developing a vocational program to prepare youth and adults for employment. The content in the form of a chart of services to be performed is divided into three areas (service station, power plant services, and chassis services) covering the systems of assemblies in the automobile which need maintenance or repair. These system services are listed on four levels (basic, intermediate, advanced, and technical) intended to assist the teacher in selecting content with the appropriate depth or emphasis. Application, concepts, and teaching suggestions are included for each service. ("Application" refers to salable entry skills that should be mastered by the student, and "concept" refers to the principles, fundamentals, trade theory, and other items which relate to the services.) Safety education and safe operation are included as well as suggestions for use of special tools and equipment. (HD)
