- Outstanding Projects: Recognize students’ inherent drive to learn, their capability to do important work, and their need to be taken seriously by putting them at the center of the learning process. Engage students in the central concepts and principles of a discipline. The project work is central rather than peripheral to the curriculum. Highlight provocative issues and questions that lead students to in-depth exploration of authentic and important topics. Require the use of essential tools and skills, including technology, for learning, self-management, and project management. Specify products that solve problems, explain dilemmas, or present information generated through investigation, research, or reasoning. Include multiple products that permit frequent feedback and consistent opportunities for students to learn from experience. Use performance-based assessments that communicate high expectations, present rigorous challenges, and require a range of skills and knowledge. Encourage collaboration in some form, either through small groups, student-led presentations, or whole-class evaluations of project results.

- NAF Assessment and Certification System NAF recently partnered with WestEd, an educational research, development, and service agency, to develop a comprehensive student assessment and certification system for NAF Career Academies. The system includes a multi-method approach to assessing a broad range of content and skills that allows students to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways, while at the same time employing rigorous high-stakes assessment practices to ensure a valid and reliable certification assessment. Specifically, the System is designed to 1) measure students’ knowledge and application of key skills, 2) serve as a graduation credential, and 3) demonstrate students’ college- and career-readiness in the various Academy areas. Moreover, this unique assessment system—and the resulting certification—is designed to bridge the gap between high school career-technical programs and post-secondary course articulation efforts and admission policies and workforce readiness initiatives. A Unique and Innovative Approach The NAF System is unique in that the assessments are designed to model real-world demands, including the integrated application of academic, career-technical, and workforce readiness skills. This results in a Certification that targets a more comprehensive and authentic set of skills than traditional assessments. As a result, this approach benefits students, colleges, and industry—it empowers academy students with the skills and knowledge to succeed in post-secondary and/or workforce pursuits, while at the same time providing colleges and employers with a valid, authentic, and unique measure of student readiness.
- Statement of Purpose The primary purpose of establishing national articulation agreements is to create mutual beneficial relationships with top tier universities in each of the NAF career themes. The relationships would be supportive of the shared missions of the respective institutions. For NAF, the overarching interests are obtaining higher education validation of its model and recognition of students who have successfully completed the model components. For universities, the main interest would be in assuring that a demographically diverse qualified group of high school students who well prepared for college. Characteristics of Potential National Articulation Agreement Universities Widely recognized for excellence in the career theme. Willingness to provide advice to NAF for model content. Eagerness to support high school reform. Commitment to student diversity.
