NAF Future Ready Learning

Welcome to NAF Curriculum!

We’re excited to be redesigning our course library to meet the needs of our network and the industries our students are preparing to enter. Each redesigned course is co-developed with NAF educators and industry professionals and is ready to teach on day one, with bell ringers, exit tickets, and interactive, hands-on activities that students enjoy. We’re also adding AI-optional lessons across our courses, so students build skills for a changing world and you decide how and when to use AI in your classroom. Many courses are aligned to help students prepare for industry-recognized credentials. Going forward, we will be on a 3–5-year course refresh cycle, so you can count on content that stays current.

What’s different about redesigned courses: Our original courses were written as semester (½ credit) courses for 55-minute class periods. Redesigned courses are built for 90-minute block schedules and offered as either full-year (1 credit) courses or semester (½ credit) courses, with guidance for expanding to a full year. Lessons can also be adapted for 45- to 60-minute periods. Built-in activity transitions give educators natural stopping points to pause and pick up the lesson the next day.

Look for our newest courses: Redesigned courses have a green card with the NAF logo, and each course page shows a “Last updated” date. Courses with a photo and a blue title label are our original courses.

Seeing the behind the scenes of a large luxury property, which is a rarity for high school students, makes them consider career opportunities in hospitality. We emphasize that the hotel is not only made up of valuable room attendants or team members who check you in, but also finance specialists and those who oversee property management.
