We’re inviting current NAF students and alumni to submit a short video about their internship experience to help inspire more NAF students, as well as employers and community partners, to invest in high school internships. We encourage you to share this fun opportunity with your class! All participating students and alumni will be entered for a chance to win a iPad. The submission deadline is January 8, 2021.

Join us on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at 3 PM EDT for a discussion with NAF’s Dr. Nick Minar, Dr. Julie Poncelet, and Katera Brown about the Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) and the value of youth voice for education research.
Health Sciences Curriculum
2020 is coming to an end and we know that it may feel like the year was a little too long. Check out the following resources our team can offer to close out 2020 on a good note:

Integrated Project: Involve students in The Ethics of Medical Research STEM Integrated Project - Hela Cells by exploring ethical issues that are related to medical research and the impact of these issues.
 
Anatomy & Physiology: Introduce students to the Endocrine System with an overview of the types of hormones, and more.

Global Health: Use this PBL project to engage students in writing, creating, and illustrating an educational storybook to teach elementary-aged children the importance and techniques to Prevent the Spread of disease.

Health Careers: The PBL project The Absolute "Yes" and "No" in Caring for Patients focuses on the types of activities, scope of practice, and information privacy management required of medical assistants to perform their job safely and legally.
HOW WE'RE TEACHING ONLINE
We loved the session “Assessment in a Hybrid World” at the CTE Is Essential virtual conference the week before Thanksgiving. Check out these assessment strategies from presenter Liz Gallo, which includes her contact info if you have any questions or need advice.
WHAT WE'RE LEARNING - RACIAL EQUITY IN PRACTICE
Listen to this episode of The PilotEd Podcast that focuses on interrupting implicit bias in the college admission process and a journey to being a college counselor. Then, read this literature review by The Black First-gen Collective including their call to action for more research on the experience of Black first-generation college students.
WHEN WORK-BASED LEARNING GOES VIRTUAL
We need your help! To help communicate the value of having an internship in high school, we’re inviting current NAF students and alumni to record short videos talking about their internship stories. Please share this opportunity with your students—all participants will be entered into a drawing to win one of five iPads!
