310B: make room for reading.
Originally published
Skilled Trades Ontario includes damage analysis and estimating among the subjects in 310B in-school training. Exploring collision repair can therefore include a quieter learning moment: reading something carefully and asking what it means.
Read with a purpose
During a supervised learning discussion, ask a trainer to choose a short passage from the information relevant to the task. What question does it help answer? Ask how the trainer checks that the information applies to this vehicle and this job. Reading the passage is a starting point for discussion, not permission to carry out a repair.
Make the explanation accessible
A diagram, a short glossary or an explanation aloud can help someone work through unfamiliar language. Invite the learner to explain the idea back and ask another question. Supporting Ontario auto workers includes making room for careful reading and patient explanation alongside practical work.
