DESCRIPTION
This session will explain how to use the NAF curriculum as the foundation for curriculum integration in your academy. Participants will learn what constitutes a good integration project while practicing a sample curriculum mapping activity using NAF literacy strategies. Participants will come away with tangible ideas for use during common planning time while learning about the varying degrees of integration.

Map the Project: Curriculum structure
Appropriately scaffolded activities have been built into the project timeline.
Project includes an appropriate, engaging introduction or launch activity.
Students will use technology as a tool for learning. Students will use a variety of time and task
management tools during the project. Students have opportunities to develop workplace
competencies. Appropriate timeline is established. Project plans for differentiated instruction.
Common Core Standards: Correlations to ELA and Math
Common Core Standards: some examples
Write arguments to support claims Write narratives to develop real or
imagined experiences Conduct short as well as more sustained
research projects to answer a question Use technology in response to ongoing
feedback Initiate and participate effectively in a
range of collaborative discussions

How do the culminating projects for each course encourage collaboration across disciplines?
Academy Theme Culminating project example
Academy of Finance Develop a proposal and analysis to invest in a company
Academy of Information Technology
Design a dream computer system
Academy of Hospitality & Tourism
Plan an entertainment event for the local community

Social Studieso Support comprehension of subject mattero Support thinking strategieso Support persuasiveness skill development
Science (or computer/IT course)– Virtual Design Support– Support thinking strategies– Support persuasiveness skill
development– Using evidence as examples
to support work
Foreign Language– Presentation preparedness
and delivery
Exemplary Solid Developing Needs AttentionPersuasiveness Examples and
evidence combine to create a highly persuasive and convincing presentation.
Most examples and evidence work together to create a persuasive presentation.
Some of the examples and evidence are convincing, but the proposal as a whole is not entirely convincing.

Content shows some flaws and omissions and illustrates only partial knowledge of the topic.
Much of the content is inaccurate and confusing and communicates very little understanding of the topic.
Evidence and Examples All of the evidence and examples (facts, research, financial figures, and case studies) are specific and relevant.
Most of the evidence and examples are specific and relevant.
At least one piece of evidence or one example is relevant.
Evidence and examples are not relevant.
Delivery Presentation is at the appropriate volume and speed and has no mispronunciations. Presenters look completely relaxed and confident, establish eye contact with audience, and exude enthusiasm about the content.

What can I implement in my academy
next year given the:
- lack of buy-in in my school?
- lack of time I have overall?
- lack of student cohorting in our
academy?
