Abstract
In this case study, readers are introduced to the Oakland Health and
Bioscience Academy. The authors paint a rich picture of academy life and
illustrate how AAI can be grafted to existing efforts. At the same time, they
also portray how AAI unites many elements of a complex academy life from
projects, to work-based experiences, vocational and academic curriculum, and
industry mentors. As they tell it, AAI provides a nice framework on which to
hang many student activities and bring coherence to the many academy features.
Because this academy has been under construction for ten years, this team
found it impossible to pick one particular feature of its program to showcase
AAI. Therefore, readers are treated to a comprehensive picture of academy life
with careful attention paid to how AAI seeps out of everything that the academy
does. In this way, Oakland presents both the richness and complexity of AAI as
it becomes deeply infused into a program. Readers are also treated to concrete
examples of how to use AAI in various activities.
