Promising Practice – Creative Implementation of NAF Curriculum

Harmony Magnet Academy of Performing Arts uses NAF’s Information Technology, Finance, Health Sciences, and Hospitality & Tourism curriculum combined with NAF’s work-based learning continuum to apply the future-ready learning experience in its arts setting.

All students are required to take graphic design, world history (which embeds NAF’s Geography for Tourism curriculum), and business economics. Many also take NAF’s physiology, event planning, and video production courses. While all NAF academies are required to teach four NAF courses, Harmony offers up to six NAF courses. Pulling on its strength in performing arts, career awareness activities are uniquely implemented through the Career Kids capstone project. Academy of Performing Arts students audition for a role portraying various careers. Selected students meet “peer mentor” students from the nine NAF academies in PUSD, research a related occupation, and portray an industry professional to 6th graders across the district. The performances serve as career awareness for the younger students.
