Committee, Curriculum. and Administrative Renorts, Bonneville High School Business Department Presentation - Becoming a NAF Academy of Finance / Business - Lynda Casagrande, Travis Mitchell Chairperson Winchester asked Ms. Casagrande and Mr. Mitchell to speak to the Board regarding becoming a NAF Academy of Finance/Business, Ms, Casagrande stated that they are excited to tell the Board what they are trying to do in the Business Department at Bonneville High School. They are working to become a NAF Academy of Finance. This is a National Organization that is in 39 states. It started over 30 years ago with an academy in New York City to help Underserved students. It has grown to 500 academies serving over 60,000 students. The average graduation rate for NAF academies is 97%. We in Idaho are used to these kind of percentages. But, in the inner cities, this is a very high rate. NAF has five themes finance, hospitality and tourism, information technology, engineering, and health sciences. We have chosen to become an academy of finance. The name we have chosen is Bonneville High School Academy of Business Leadership, There are three pillars: curricula, work -based learning activities which is an internship, and community based interaction. Ms, Casagrande has been using the curricula for this semester in three of her classes: business computers applications 1 business computers applications 2, and graphic design. She can't say enough good things about the curriculum, Each lesson plan learning objectives, academic standards and core content, Each lesson has reading and writing assignments. Each class works together as groups on final project. In her BCA classes, students have been given $3500 (hypothetical) as a group or pair to build and buy their dream computer, They have learned how to use and what peripherals and CPUs are through this experience. She is very happy with what she is teaching her students and a large part comes from the NAF curriculum that is updated annually by business experts. They hope to organize internships with the community for each NAF academy student between in the summer between theirjunior and senior year. We will have business partners serving on our advisory committees. These committees will actually do things for the academy. They will help the academy get internships and help them get ready for some of the things they want to do, She is very impressed with the organization, Mr, Mitchell stated that the academy will be work based, Students will receive certificate from NAF. We want to strengthen our business department and draw more students into the department and make them eligible for work based experiences. We will have four required classes that are approved by NAF that are aligned with PTE standards in Idaho. We are starting entrepreneurship, web design, and accounting that we are offering. We are not asking for any money, We need to organize a design advisory team. We want to open a line of communication with the community to understand what business professional need and not base the education on what the textbook says. We think this will be a long term excellent program. Ms. Casagrande teaches accounting. One student took all of her accounting classes, The student was thinking about accounting as a career, The student took a job a Walmart and Ms. Casagrande felt bad that we didn't do well by this student. NAF is the more that we need Mrs. Landers state that NAF is a great opportunity for students. It has a rigorous Curricula and a hands on opportunity. Mr. Miller and Ms. Casagrande wanted the Board to be aware of what they are doing and they also need someone at the District level to be on the design team. Chairperson Winchester asked if the Board had any questions for Ms. Casagrande or Mr. Mitchell. Hearing none, she thanked them for presenting and commended them on their efforts to increase the rigor and relevance for their students.
