How will the ADT ensure the academy implements a work-based learning (WBL) program that includes a full continuum of work-based learning experiences for students, including career awareness, career exploration, and career preparation?

Strategic Actions:

• 1. Develop a WBL plan focusing on 9th and 10th grades with advisory board support and participation.

• 2. Incorporate opportunities for students to explore career interests, develop skills, and build professional networks.

• 3. Identify the process the academy will use to evaluate WBL impact.

• 4. Determine if the academy will have a WBL coordinator.

• 5. Define how stakeholders are involved in WBL activities.

• 6. Determine how academy students provide feedback on WBL activities.

• 7. Review NAF's Outcomes Driven Work-based Learning (ODWBL) approach.

Use the guiding questions to structure meeting agendas and facilitate a discussion aimed at developing the academy framework.

Guiding Questions:

• 1. How will the ADT involve stakeholders in the development of a WBL plan?

• 2. How will WBL experiences allow academy learners to explore career aspirations, develop skills, and make professional connections?

• 3. How will the academy evaluate the impact of WBL activities?

• 4. How will the academy ensure effective coordination of WBL activities, including the role of a WBL coordinator?

• 5. How will stakeholders participate in WBL activities?

• 6. How will the academy use feedback from students to improve the effectiveness of WBL activities?

• 7. How will the ADT gain a deeper understanding of NAF's ODWBL approach and utilize the WBL Participation Tracker?
