Mr. Clapper's automotive class at TCCHS is divided into groups based on a Leadership/ Management activity. Each team has a team leader and is in charge of ensuring the task is completed and everyone in the group is participating. The team leader shares a Google Doc with the group and has a team huddle to discuss the logistics of the assignment. They collaborate and research different tool manufactures and come up with a tool set that would be good for a entry level technician and compare cost, warranty, and quality of different tools and tool companies. The group that goes into the automotive shop meets at the SMART board and is given a customer concern relating to a vehicle and has to work together to identify, diagnose, and repair the cause of the customer's concern. They talk with the customer as well as local parts stores to get a price for the repair.
