Year of Planning Program
How will the ADT establish an Academy Quality process that ensures NAF standards are met and supports the launch of a high-quality program?
Strategic Actions:
1. Conduct YOP kick-off meeting with the core ADT members and complete YOP Snapshot in the Academy Support Hub (ASH).
2. Use the snapshot results to prioritize standards for development, establish goals, and define action steps for the Action Plan.
3. Designate a person or sub-committee to monitor goals and document academy design plan progress.
4. Ensure the ADT creates NAF accounts to access tools and resources.
5. Establish common planning time for the ADT (more than three members) to manage all aspects of the academy program.
6. Document how academy leaders will promote practices, events, and achievements at local, state, and national levels to enhance college and career readiness.
7. Specify data sources for monitoring academy and learner achievement and establish improvement strategies, such as a learner intervention plan.
8. Define protocols for sharing academy data with school administration and stakeholders.
9. Participate in NAF-sponsored (e.g., NAF Next) or other Career Technical Education (CTE) professional learning sessions to enhance capacity and improve academy quality.
Use the guiding questions to structure meeting agendas and facilitate a discussion aimed at developing the academy framework.
Guiding Questions:
1. What team members are essential to completing the YOP Snapshot, a self-assessment tool, to analyze current academy practices?
2. Will the ADT use NAF’s online Action Plan tool to facilitate collaboration and coordination with NAF?
3. Who will monitor goals and progress to update the Action Plan?
4. What steps should be taken to ensure the ADT successfully creates NAF accounts and accesses tools and resources?
5. How often will the ADT meet for formal collaboration (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly)?
6. Are there specific events or milestones where leaders can showcase achievements on social media or other platforms to increase support and advocacy for academy programs?
7. What type of data will be used to monitor academy and learner achievement, and how will the ADT use the data to improve performance?
8. What formats, key data points, and timelines will the ADT use to share data and highlight the academy's impact?
9. How can the academy leverage professional learning events, including micro-credentials, to enhance academy quality?
