Examine the evidence.
How does the evidence address the
standard? Use YOP Snapshot as
reference.
What can you tell about the academy that

Intro to Academy Design Team BuildingMorganCreate list of the stakeholders you need to enact vision
In order to get them to show up on the screen, participants need to text 281042 and their design team member to 37607 For instance, I would text “281042 My Principal” to the number 37607 and then it would show up on the screen.Academy Design Team graphic organizer: How to distribute? ADDMs handout/leave on table? 15 minutesNAF recommends you have some of these perspectives
Intro to Advisory Boards What makes a successful advisory board? SarahAcademy Design Team will decide how to implement NAF model; business perspective is importantOne big task: begin developing advisory board (need to lay foundation, not develop everything!)We will show you vision of what your AB could be in 4 years in this videoNAF.org resources pagesWhat do you notice? How does AB function/interact with academy? 10 minutes
Break: 4 Corners:SarahI come from somewhere… 10 minutes I come from somewhere… (warm, cold, urban, rural) My favorite type of music is… (country, rock, classical, R&B)I come from a school that is… (large, small, has one NAF academy, many NAF academies)My role on the Academy Design Team is…(counselor, business partner, administrator, teacher)
Exploring the Standards-ADS/ABJessicaIn YOP, you are required to collect evidence documenting the plans and decisions your Academy Design Team makes. This activity: you’ll explore evidence that other Academy Design Teams have collected during their YOP. On the screen, you see the cover page of an online Evidence Binder for the Northwest Classen Academy of Health Sciences.The idea behind doing this activity is that evidence is personal to your academy, but that it’s all based in the NAF Standards. NAF has academies that are big, small, etc. Evidence should reflect your academy
You’ll see evidence relating to the big ideas we’ve discussed in this session today: Academy Design Team building & leadership, academy development & structure, and advisory boards.You have on your table 4 pieces of evidence from other academies. They’re printed on colored paper. We want 4 groups at each table, so each group should have 2-3 people. Each group should take 1 example of evidence. You’re responsible for that piece of evidence, and you’ll share out your thoughts with the rest of the table. In your group: Examine the evidence.How does the evidence address the standard? Reference YOP SnapshotWhat can you tell about the academy that created it?How might you do it similarly or different?Write on the example evidence. Share what you come up with at your tableWe will post example evidence on NAF Community.Time dependent: Popcorn full-group share out: big take-aways (Tell us your name & school. Answer question..) 20 minutes
