                  NATIONAL ACADEMY FOUNDATION             Annual Institute for Staff Development
ABOUT NAF
                  The National Academy Foundation (NAF) is an acclaimed network of career-themed
                  academies that open doors for underserved high school students to viable careers. For
                  nearly 30 years, NAF has refined a proven model that provides young people access
                  to industry-specific curricula, work-based learning experiences, and relationships with
                  business professionals. NAF academies focus on one of five career themes: finance,
                  hospitality & tourism, information technology, engineering, and health sciences.
                  Employees of more than 2,500 companies volunteer in classrooms, act as mentors,
                  engage NAF students in paid internships and serve on local advisory boards.
                  Founded in 1982 by Sanford I. Weill, Chairman Emeritus of Citigroup Inc., NAF fosters
                  partnerships between business and education communities to provide opportunities to
                  underserved students. Weill’s original intent was to connect young people to entry-level
                  jobs in New York City’s growing financial sector. His program did much more than that; his
                  vision led to a national movement of preparing students for successful careers.
                  After Weill received approval for his new academy plan from the New York City Board of
                  Education, the first academy, an Academy of Finance, opened at John Dewey High School
                  in Brooklyn, NY in 1982. Since then, NAF’s network has grown to 500 academies and
                  serves more than 50,000 students across the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands
                  each year. NAF’s 90% graduation rate and network of dedicated educators, business
                  partners and students are testament to the effectiveness of this model.


                  NAF ACADEMIES
                  The Academy of Finance connects high school students with the world of financial
                  services, including courses in ethics, global finance, insurance, managerial accounting and
                  economics.
                  The Academy of Hospitality & Tourism helps students chart career paths in one of the
                  world’s largest industries, and includes courses in geography and world cultures, customer
                  service, sports, entertainment and event planning and hospitality marketing.
                  The Academy of Information Technology prepares students for ever-growing career
                  opportunities in programming, database design, digital video production, networking and
                  Web design.
                  The Academy of Engineering answers an acute need for well-trained engineers by
                  providing high school students courses in computer integrated manufacturing, electronics,
                  biotechnical engineering, civil engineering and architecture and aerospace engineering.

                  NAF is proud to introduce an exciting new career theme in 2011: The Academy of Health
                  Sciences. We are looking forward to sharing more information about this fast-growing field
                  and all the rich possibilities this academy will offer NAF academy students.

THE NAF MODEL
                                        The NAF model is built around four essential components of practice.
                                        Academies that fully implement the NAF model successfully incorporate all of
                                        the elements of each of the following components:

The National Academy Foundation Model

                                        ACADEMY DEVELOPMENT & STRUCTURE
                                        The academy, designed as a four-year high school experience, has an open
                                        and equitable student recruitment process that results in a student body that

      Structure                         and students fully participate and collaborate in program design, decision
                                        making, and regularly scheduled professional development activities. School

         Board      Learning


                                        CURRICULUM & INSTRUCTION
                                        The academy leverages NAF curriculum, which incorporates project-based
                                        learning. Career-themed curriculum is fully integrated with core academic
                                        content to help all students achieve the extended benefit of NAF academy
                                        courses. Teachers receive high-quality professional development opportunities
                                        to ensure their ability to engage all learners.

                                        ADVISORY BOARD
                                        The academy’s advisory board is representative of its community and supports
                                        teachers and students by increasing awareness of the career field. These
                                        leaders collaborate with teachers to inform classroom learning with industry
                                        developments, trends and practices, help teachers design and implement
                                        student project work, and provide structured workplace learning opportunities,
                                        including compensated internships for students. The advisory board provides
                                        financial support and advocacy to develop and sustain the academy.

                                        WORK-BASED LEARNING, INCLUDING INTERNSHIPS
                                        The academy develops and offers students a sequenced set of work-based
                                        learning experiences that culminate in paid internships as defined by the NAF
                                        Internship Gold Standards. These standards provide academies with criteria for

                         ABOUT THE ANNUAL INSTITUTE
                         Bridges to Excellence: Mastering the NAF Model is a three-day convening of the
                         country’s career academy educators taking place on July 17 – 19, 2011. This
                         event offers introductory and in-depth workshops, keynote speakers, networking
                         opportunities, site visits, team time, a resource expo, and academy-themed round
                         tables to increase the learning and professional development of career academy
                         educators.


                         FORMAT OF THE ANNUAL INSTITUTE
                         For more than 20 years, the Institute for Staff Development has allowed NAF
                         academy staff to gather, learn, and share best practices. This year, with a new
                         conference design, NAF is making it easier than ever for participants to take
                         away the critical knowledge that is directly applicable to their academies.
                         Drawing from the data provided by the Academy Assessment – an annual
                         evaluation of each academy’s challenges and strengths in implementing NAF’s
                         proven model – workshops and activities are designed to address the self-
                         identified needs of academies. The conference will also feature several two-day
                         workshops allowing participants to dive deeper into the skills and knowledge that
                         they find to be most relevant. As always, NAF will offer a broad array of workshop
                         topics, incorporating more opportunities to go deeper and promote peer-to-
                         peer learning. The 2011 Institute for Staff Development launches enhanced
                         professional development and technical assistance offerings for NAF academies
                         designed to be year-round, data driven, and directed by the self-identified needs
                         of each NAF academy.

                   Keynote Address, Celebrating the 2011 Distinguished Academies
                   JD Hoye, President, National Academy Foundation
                   JD Hoye has worked at both the grassroots and the highest levels of government to reform
                   how young people are engaged in learning and how they are positioned to pursue their
                   academic interests and career goals. Prior to her appointment at NAF, Ms. Hoye served
                   as president of Keep the Change, Inc., a nationally recognized consulting business
                   focused on helping communities reform education and develop a skilled workforce. In
                   1994, she was selected by U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Reilly and Secretary
                   of Labor Robert Reich to head the new Office of School-to-Work in Washington, D.C.
                   She served in that role for four years, overseeing a $1.1 billion budget and spurring
                   nationwide progress in education reform and workforce development. Ms. Hoye has also
                   served as associate superintendent of the Office of Professional/Technical Education
                   for the Oregon Department of Education and the Office of Community Colleges.

2011   ALUMNI HONOREES
        Jillian Berg, ‘95 - Jillian’s academy experience has come full circle. As a star student
        at the Academy of Finance at Cooper City High School in Florida, Jillian held numerous
        leadership positions and was a member of DECA. After graduating, she went on to receive
        her bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida and her master’s from Florida Atlantic
        University. Holding the value of education close to her heart, Jillian became a teacher.
        Today, she is the lead teacher for the Academy of Finance at Coral Glades High School and
        the DECA District Advisor for the School Board of Broward County.


        Matthew Erickson, ‘96 - Matthew’s education at the Academy of Hospitality & Tourism at
        Lahainaluna High School in Hawaii instilled a sense of responsibility in him. As a student,
        he took advantage of all the opportunities he could, knowing that what he learned in
        high school would help shape his future. Matthew started his career as an administrative
        assistant for a live-theatrical production called ‘Ulalena’. He was soon promoted to sales &
        marketing representative, where in his first year he increases sales by $1.5 million. Today,
        Matthew is the reservation sales manager at the Old Lahaina Luau in Lahaina, president
        of the Lahaina Civic Club, treasurer of Friends of Moku`ula, and a member of the advisory
        board for his academy.

        Chrysta Peoples, ‘98 - Chrysta credits her experience at Academy of Finance at Golightly
        Career and Technical Center in Detroit, Michigan, for giving her the foundation for a
        successful career working at a technology-based language training company. Beyond her
        success in both academics and career, Chrysta found time to get married, have three
        children, buy a home, and give back to her academy. Chrysta attends events at her former
        academy, consults with the advisory board committee that is building its Web site, and
        serves as a mentor to current students.


        George Khoury, ‘04 - George traces the practical skills he uses daily back to his time at
        the Academy of Information Technology at Louis E. Dieruff High School in Allentown,
        Pennsylvania. While at the academy, George was one of two students selected for an
        internship with Agere Microsystems. George received several honors upon graduation and
        went on to continue his education at Pennsylvania State University’s Schreyer Honors
        College, where he continued to accrue accolades. He was recently selected as a National
        Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and is pursuing a Ph.D. in chemical and
        biological engineering from Princeton University.

        Courtney Curry, ‘08 - When Courtney decided to attend the Academy of Hospitality &
        Tourism at Miami Norland Senior High School in Miami, Florida, she didn’t know that it
        would put her on a path to success. The academy experience helped Courtney realize her
        love for working with people and building relationships. She is currently enrolled at the
        Dedman School of Hospitality at Florida State University, one of the top 10 hospitality
        schools in the country. Courtney remains in close contact with her academy and is working
        on creating a formal relationship between her college and the academy so more students
        can have the opportunities she had.

  • 5. ABOUT NAF The National Academy Foundation (NAF) is an acclaimed network of career-themed academies that open doors for underserved high school students to viable careers. For nearly 30 years, NAF has refined a proven model that provides young people access to industry-specific curricula, work-based learning experiences, and relationships with business professionals. NAF academies focus on one of five career themes: finance, hospitality & tourism, information technology, engineering, and health sciences. Employees of more than 2,500 companies volunteer in classrooms, act as mentors, engage NAF students in paid internships and serve on local advisory boards. Founded in 1982 by Sanford I. Weill, Chairman Emeritus of Citigroup Inc., NAF fosters partnerships between business and education communities to provide opportunities to underserved students. Weill’s original intent was to connect young people to entry-level jobs in New York City’s growing financial sector. His program did much more than that; his vision led to a national movement of preparing students for successful careers. After Weill received approval for his new academy plan from the New York City Board of Education, the first academy, an Academy of Finance, opened at John Dewey High School in Brooklyn, NY in 1982. Since then, NAF’s network has grown to 500 academies and serves more than 50,000 students across the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands each year. NAF’s 90% graduation rate and network of dedicated educators, business partners and students are testament to the effectiveness of this model. NAF ACADEMIES The Academy of Finance connects high school students with the world of financial services, including courses in ethics, global finance, insurance, managerial accounting and economics. The Academy of Hospitality & Tourism helps students chart career paths in one of the world’s largest industries, and includes courses in geography and world cultures, customer service, sports, entertainment and event planning and hospitality marketing. The Academy of Information Technology prepares students for ever-growing career opportunities in programming, database design, digital video production, networking and Web design. The Academy of Engineering answers an acute need for well-trained engineers by providing high school students courses in computer integrated manufacturing, electronics, biotechnical engineering, civil engineering and architecture and aerospace engineering. NAF is proud to introduce an exciting new career theme in 2011: The Academy of Health Sciences. We are looking forward to sharing more information about this fast-growing field and all the rich possibilities this academy will offer NAF academy students. BRIDGES TO EXCELLENCE MASTERING THE NAF MODEL 3

Career-themed curriculum is fully integrated with core academic content to help all students achieve the extended benefit of NAF academy courses. Teachers receive high-quality professional development opportunities to ensure their ability to engage all learners. ADVISORY BOARD The academy’s advisory board is representative of its community and supports teachers and students by increasing awareness of the career field. These leaders collaborate with teachers to inform classroom learning with industry developments, trends and practices, help teachers design and implement student project work, and provide structured workplace learning opportunities, including compensated internships for students. The advisory board provides financial support and advocacy to develop and sustain the academy. WORK-BASED LEARNING, INCLUDING INTERNSHIPS The academy develops and offers students a sequenced set of work-based learning experiences that culminate in paid internships as defined by the NAF Internship Gold Standards. These standards provide academies with criteria for high quality internship opportunities for high school students. The workshops at the Institute for Staff Development are labeled based on the component of the model highlighted during that session.

This year, with a new conference design, NAF is making it easier than ever for participants to take away the critical knowledge that is directly applicable to their academies. Drawing from the data provided by the Academy Assessment – an annual evaluation of each academy’s challenges and strengths in implementing NAF’s proven model – workshops and activities are designed to address the self- identified needs of academies. The conference will also feature several two-day workshops allowing participants to dive deeper into the skills and knowledge that they find to be most relevant. As always, NAF will offer a broad array of workshop topics, incorporating more opportunities to go deeper and promote peer-to- peer learning. The 2011 Institute for Staff Development launches enhanced professional development and technical assistance offerings for NAF academies designed to be year-round, data driven, and directed by the self-identified needs of each NAF academy.
