As we reflect on the successes and opportunities of the 2023-2024 school year, it's evident that our NAF academies have experienced significant growth and development. Now, as we transition from the Quality Process season, it's crucial to turn our focus towards planning for the upcoming school year.
NAF's Action Plan tool serves as a dynamic platform for outlining your goals for the coming year and fostering collaboration with your team and NAF portfolio manager. This tool empowers you to identify areas of opportunity and growth, ensuring a proactive approach to your academy's development.
In the weeks ahead, your dedicated portfolio manager will reach out to initiate the process of crafting an action plan tailored to your academy's needs and aspirations for the next academic year. We encourage you to proactively engage with your portfolio manager and convene your academy team to begin envisioning the future and laying the groundwork for continued success.
The 2024 NAF Student Survey will be LIVE for all NAF students March 6th – April 30th. The purpose of this annual survey is to gather feedback directly from students about their academy experience and how it can be improved.
How Do Students Take the Survey? To access the survey, students can log into NAFTrack (https://students.naftrack.org/), and the survey should be visible.
*If the survey is not immediately visible on the right-hand side of their NAFTrack home screen under “Tasks and Announcements”, they can find it by pressing the “surveys” button on their home screen (see below). The survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete, and students have the option to take the survey in English or Spanish. Please encourage your academy students to complete the survey before it closes on April 30th!
