OUR FOCUS ON ACCESS AND COMPLETION FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS AND STUDENTS OF COLOR IS NOW A CENTRAL FOCUS OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES NATIONWIDE. THERE IS AN UNDERLYING THEME TO THE MAJORITY OF GRANT FUNDING SPENT THIS YEAR. THAT THEME IS ATD BOTH DEEPENED ITS WORK IN ITS PROGRAM AREAS AS WELL AS WORKED TO BUILD CAPACITY INTERNALLY TO SUPPORT THE DEEPENING OF THE WORK WITH OUR NETWORK COLLEGES.ATD'S CORE MODEL OF EDUCATION REFORM IS A THREE YEAR EXPERIENCE IN WHICH COLLEGES EMBARK ON A JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION BASED ON ANALYZING SEVEN CORE CAPACITIES OF A COLLEGE'S INFRASTRUCTURE. LEADERSHIP AT THE UNIVERSITY IS MATCHED WITH ATD EXPERT DATA AND LEADERSHIP COACHES TO SYSTEMATICALLY ADDRESS GAPS IN THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE TO HELP PROPEL STUDENTS TO STUDENT SUCCESS. THROUGH A GRANT FROM THE WOODWARD HINES FOUNDATION TWO MISSISSIPPI SCHOOLS (MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND COAHOMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE) JOINED ATD'S COLLEGE NETWORK. THE SOUTHERN COUNCIL OF FOUNDATIONS FEATURED THE SUPERB WORK OF BOTH ATD AND MISSISSIPPI SCHOOL LEADERS IN THEIR VOLUME 27 ISSUE 2 ISSUE.THE KRESGE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN A LONGTIME SUPPORTER OF ATD'S MISSION. IN THIS MOST RECENT YEAR THEY SUPPORTED THREE ATD AREAS OF WORK - INTERNAL CAPACITY BUILDING, NETWORK PARTICIPATION, AND HOLISTIC STUDENT SUPPORTS. MORE SPECIFICALLY THE GRANT PROVIDED RESOURCES FOR FOUR NEW COLLEGES TO JOIN THE ATD NETWORK. SECONDLY, THEY SUPPORTED THE WORKING STUDENT SUCCESS NETWORK (WSSN) WHICH FOCUSED SUPPORTS TO HELP STUDENTS GAIN FINANCIAL SKILLS AND CAREER EXPERIENCE TO BOTH SUCCESSFULLY EARN CREDENTIALS AND FIND JOBS THAT PAY FAMILY-SUSTAINING WAGES. ACHIEVE MISSION WAS CONTRACTED TO WORK ON ATD'S INTERNAL CAPACITY FOR LEADERSHIP ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COLLEGES AND TO BUILD A TALENT PIPELINE FOR ATD INTERNALLY TO HELP ENHANCE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION TO DO WORK SUCH AS NETWORK ENGAGEMENT AND WSSN.OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH FUNDERS SUCH AS THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION FACILITATED BOTH CAPACITY BUILDING WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION AND EXTERNAL DEEPENING OF OUR PROGRAM WORK. CONTINUATION FUNDING OF OUR ENGAGING ADJUNCT FACULTY PROJECT FURTHERS OUR WORK IN BUILDING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY TO BETTER INTEGRATE AND ENGAGE THE ADJUNCT FACULTY MEMBERS INTO THE STUDENT SUCCESS PROCESS AND TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FACED BY COLLEGES ENGAGING PART-TIME FACULTY (ELEMENTS OF THIS PROGRAM WERE ALSO SUPPORTED BY THE GREAT LAKES EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION). THE FOUNDATION ALSO SUPPORTED INTERNAL ATD CAPACITY BUILDING WHICH HELPED THE ORGANIZATION ALIGN AND OPERATIONALIZE ITS NEW STRATEGIC PLAN. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT OUTCOME OF THE GATES FOUNDATION AND GREAT LAKES FOUNDATION FUNDING HAS BEEN ATD'S WORK WITH OPEN EDUCATION RESOURCES (OER). THE OPEN EDUCATION RESOURCES (OER) PROJECT INVOLVES 38 COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN 13 STATES AND IS DESIGNED TO HELP REMOVE FINANCIAL ROADBLOCKS THAT CAN DERAIL STUDENTS' PROGRESS AND TO SPUR OTHER CHANGES IN TEACHING AND LEARNING AND COURSE DESIGN THAT WILL INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE COMPLETION. COLLEGES AND SYSTEMS WERE SELECTED THROUGH A COMPETITIVE GRANT PROCESS BASED ON THEIR ABILITY AND CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT OER DEGREE PROGRAMS, OFFER THE FULL COMPLEMENT OF DEGREE COURSES QUICKLY, OR QUICKLY SCALE THE NUMBER OF SECTIONS OFFERED.AS ANOTHER MAJOR SUPPORTER OF EDUCATION REFORM IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION SPACE GREAT LAKES FOUNDATION WORKED WITH ATD TO SUPPORT ITS ONBOARDING AND INTRODUCTION OF A COHORT OF TRIBAL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES INTO THE ATD NETWORK. THE 30 PLUS TCUS ARE REPORTING VAST IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR STUDENT SUCCESS STORIES AND THE OTHER NETWORK COLLEGES ARE LEARNING A GREAT DEAL FROM OUR KNOWLEDGE OF ENHANCING STUDENT EXPERIENCE BASED ON HOLISTIC SUPPORTS.AN INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE ATD EXPERIENCE IS ITS HIGHLY FOCUSED EVENTS RELATED TO PROGRAM AREAS. THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR THE ORGANIZATION HELD FOUR EVENTS, IT'S SHOWCASE ANNUAL CONFERENCE WHICH CONTINUES TO BREAK ATTENDANCE RECORDS AT OVER 2,200 COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEADERS AND PRACTITIONERS; A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL TWO-DAY DATA AND ANALYTICS SUMMIT, SPONSORED EXCLUSIVELY FOR NETWORK COLLEGES WITH APPROXIMATELY 200 ATTENDEES, TO LEARN HOW TO USE DATA AS A STRATEGIC ASSET TO INCREASE STUDENT SUCCESS; AN INTEGRATED STUDENT SUPPORT INSTITUTE DESIGNED FOR TEAMS OF SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TO TACKLE ONGOING CHALLENGES IN THEIR STUDENT SUPPORT SYSTEM WHICH SOLD OLD ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF REGISTRATION, AND A MATH PATHWAYS EVENT FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING PROFESSIONALS WHICH ALSO FOCUSED ON HANDS-ON SOLUTION BASED ENGAGEMENT. THESE EVENTS WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS PINNACLES OF ENGAGEMENT SO THAT ATD CAN DEEPEN ITS WORK WITH ITS IN NETWORK SCHOOLS AND SHOWCASE ITS WORK TO SCHOOLS WHO ARE CONSIDERING JOINING THE NETWORK. 12916374 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 127 0 1 52 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X ANDREW HARRIS 2404500075 8403 COLESVILLE ROAD NO 450 SILVER SPRING MD 20910 DR PAM EDDINGER BOARD CHAIR (AS OF 02/2018) 5.00 X X 0 0 0 LEAH MEYER AUSTIN COMMITTEE CHAIR - UNTIL 06/2018 4.00 X X 0 0 0 DR CHRISTINE JOHNSON VICE CHAIR (AS OF 02/2018) 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN M MUTZ COMMITTEE CHAIR, DEVELOPMENT 4.00 X X 0 0 0 LOUIS TESTONI TREASURER AS OF 02/2018), AUDIT & FINAN.
