Along with academic content and attention to national and state standards, NBACD courses of study incorporate the development of creative, technological, and professional skills, such as critical thinking, written and oral communication, problem solving, and teamwork. Learning is contextual, active, and authentic. Core activities are integrated and interdisciplinary. Project-based work and field studies, along with traditional academic work, are the norm.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
