Welcome
Who’s with us today?
![Page 4: Making a NAF Course Your Own](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5554d17fb4c9051b6e8b49b3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Let’s do a “Think, Pair, Share”
1. Complete the Curriculum Needs Survey individually
2. Discuss your answers with a tablemate or two
3. Share key findings with the whole room

Each NAF course is provided as “one size fits most”
Challenges
• Not a perfect fit for any class/academy/state
• Fitting everything in one semester
• Finding time to make teacher/academy modifications
Benefits
• It’s free!
• Complete standalone package
• Customizable
• Can be used paper-based or electronic
• Updated every year
![Page 6: Making a NAF Course Your Own](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5554d17fb4c9051b6e8b49b3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
For success, focus on the Key Learning Objectives
• Of the 50 - 60 learning objectives covered in every course, 16 have been identified as “key”
• The SCAS EOC evaluates proficiency based on these 16 learning objectives. The CPAC also has its own small set of LOs.
• As you make course modifications, keep these in mind

Why Educators Modify the NAF Curriculum
To increase relevance for students
To target the needs, skill levels, and knowledge levels of students
To comply with local or regional mandates
To improve usability with available technology
To adjust it to their teaching style
![Page 12: Making a NAF Course Your Own](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5554d17fb4c9051b6e8b49b3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ways to Strengthen Relevance
Replace examples with ones that your students will relate to: a local business, a current event in the news
Bring in guest speakers help students see why it’s important in the real world
Use project advisors/supporters to help students build relationships and learn to network

Targeting Student Skill and Knowledge Levels
Edit student readings and notetaking sheets
Edit PPT presentations (and use the associated teacher resource to make your own lecture notes)

presentation, and spreadsheet applications
Example: Hospitality Marketing has lessons on marketing basics that apply across any product
Example: Ethics in Business has lessons that apply across themes
