Develop a 4-year sequential planRecord all the work-based learning experiences that students will complete at each grade level. See the NAF Continuum of College & Career Experiences for ideas. Shaded boxes indicate phases that are not emphasized at that grade level.

Align your work-based learning experiences to: NAF and core academic courses students are

taking at the same time, Learning outcomes students will practice during

the experience, and How students will show they have met the

outcomes through projects, reflections or other work products.
