Fast Track Evidence Checklist
      High School Name:                                                                 Evidence Review Date:
      Fast Track Evidence Checklist: The evidence checklist assists academies with completing the Fast Track Assessment, 
      specifically with gathering the required evidence to validate the accomplishment of strategic action. 
      Note: For strategic actions not yet accomplished, the academy team should prepare for a discussion during the Fast Track 
      validation visit to ensure an understanding of NAF’s expectations during the academy’s launch year. Refer to NAF 
      Academy Standards.
      Evidence Collection & Upload: Use the evidence checklist as a guide to download evidence templates and supporting 
      documents. Upload electronic evidence directly into the online Fast Track Assessment for review by the portfolio manager 
      no less than two weeks before the validation visit. To complete the upload, click on the     icon adjacent to each designated
      strategic action. Note: No additional evidence is required if the academy uploads a completed evidence template. 
      Evidence Collection Progress: Use the active checkboxes in the last column of the evidence checklist to self-assess progress in 
      collecting evidence for completion of strategic actions and executing upload into the online Fast Track Assessment.
