NATEF Certification @ Career Tech
WRITTEN BY Melvin Lowe ON September 17, 2013
On last week the Career and Technical Education Department had a site visit from NATEF (National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, Inc. We were privileges to the have Mr. Curtis Jones an (ETL) Evaluation Team Leader for NATEF with us for an on-site preparation visit. The visit took a complete look at our instructional area, lab, technology, lesson plans, course of study, administrative procedures, etc. We were very pleased with our narrative per final program readiness needs.
 
We had the assistance from City and County Mechanics who helped in this review process. The students in Macon County are on the cutting each of Automotive Technology with all of the preparation that has gone into certifying our Automotive Program. Many classroom up-grades in terms of technology and mechanical recourses has been added and increased within the program. On going professional development for the teacher and administrator are in place as well as field experiences for the students. There are so many careers available to a students who the credentials this program will bring.
 
Mr. Christopher Clark has been on board for a year and has out-worked a team of individuals in his readiness procedures. District administration has been involved within this process to ensure that our program meets and exceeds NATEF requirements. Please continue to encourage our students to enroll in this program as they will be gradates of a nationally recognized and accredited automotive program. Kudos to Automotive Services Technology Program in the Macon County Public School System.
