Defining Success: A New Data Environment
• Text
2008 Leadership Summit
Partners in Creation
Data collection is critical to NAF’s success!
Improves the network by identifying top-performing academies and the key characteristics that drive that performance—”good to great”
Helps NAF understand where to focus resources, e.g Advisory Boards, Internships, Curriculum Integration
Increases value by affirming what we do locally, nationally—”tells the NAF story” to parents, industry
Demonstrates our impact
This looks like a new day

Data are not collected for data sake
Data are meaningful and help you focus and achieve your goals
Data allows you to make informed comparisons—year to year, with your host school, with other academies
Allows NAF to get a picture of what the network is doing and whether the services they provide are meaningful to you…
Following the Same Road Together NAF— Strategic vision “How effective are we?”
Network Services“How do NAF students compare?”
Academies—Strategic
performance Key outcomes advance the
academy, the network and ultimately NAF “Where do our students go after graduation?”
