DescEdWorks, LLCEdWorks' footprint expanded in FY2014, as several of its initiatives received national attention. The Akron Early College High School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School designation by the U.S. Department of Education and is among the top 10 high schools in Ohio. Reynoldsburg City Schools, an EdWorks partner since 2009, was recognized by the White House in early 2014 for its district-level innovation. One New York location, P-TECH, has been cited as an exemplary school by President Barack Obama. Another EDWorks site, Frederick Douglass High School in Baltimore, was touted as exemplar in the federal School Improvement Initiative Grant by the Assistant Secretary in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education at the U.S. Department of Education.An FY14 evaluation of the Smart Scholars initiative conducted by the National Center for Restructuring Education, Schools and Teaching (NCREST) confirmed strong outcomes for the nearly 5,000 students enrolled in the 23 Smart Scholars Early College sites. The mean graduation rate in these Smart Scholar schools is 84%, compared to 67% in their home districts. Three of the Smart Scholar schools had graduation rates of 100%; two more had rates of 92% and 96%. Further, by the time they graduated from high school, some students had earned an average of 51 college credits.EdWorks launched an aggressive technical assistance effort in Birmingham, Alabama, called the Woodlawn Innovation Network (WIN). The initiative is a partnership between Birmingham City Schools and the Woodlawn Foundation. The partnership earned an innovation waiver from the state that supports the re-invention of teaching, learning and student outcomes in a five-school feeder pattern - two elementary schools, a K-8 school, a middle school and high school. EdWorks is assisting in the conversion of the K-8 grades to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics)-focused academies. The high school is being converted to two Early College Academies, in partnership with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Lawson State Community College.Desc

DescStriveTogether, LLCStriveTogether convenes a national network of 55 cradle to career collective impact partnerships spanning 28 states and the District of Columbia. In total, these partnerships and the more than 8,000 organizations involved in them serve approximately 5.5 million children. The StriveTogether Theory of Action was established as a set of quality benchmarks for building cradle to career collective impact partnerships and has been used to help guide partnerships toward achieving sustained systems change and improvement in student outcomes. StriveTogether provides strategic assistance to communities interested in building cradle to career partnerships using the Theory of Action as a roadmap for systemic education improvement. StriveTogether also provides support to its network of communities through webinars, facilitation of an online resource portal and the development and deployment of interactive toolkits. StriveTogether has contributed to thought leadership related to collective impact through publishing numerous articles, reports and blogs. In FY14 StriveTogether hosted five convenings to bring partners together to share lessons and develop new knowledge for the field. In addition, StriveTogether's Theory of Action is being adapted for use to guide quality collective impact in sectors outside of education.In FY2014, StrivePartnership's accomplishments toward its mission of improving academic outcomes for students, cradle to career included: Building momentum in outreach and public will to support the Cincinnati Preschool Promise - a transformative initiative that would provide access to two years of high quality preschool for every child in Cincinnati. More than 60 events have been held and more than 3,000 people have signed a pledge of support. Working with partners, we have also made advances toward finalizing a long-term funding source and designing operational and implementation plans. Development of a plan with Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and StriveTogether to launch a long-term partnership aimed at building a high-impact community-wide continuous improvement training series that will dramatically improve developmental and academic outcomes for students. The training will integrate proven practices with Children's Hospital, the Annie E. Casey Foundation's Adaptive Leadership training, and our Collective Impact expertise. It will be offered locally and nationally with the potential to be "best in class" for quality collective impact. The training series is expected to begin in 2015.Doubling the usage of Learning Partner Dashboard among resource coordinators in Cincinnati Public Schools from about 45% to more than 97% over 6 months, using a rigorous continuous improvement process. Launch of a new venture philanthropy fund focused on investing in practices that are proven to impact early grade-level reading success and have a high likelihood of finding a public sector partner to take over the investment to ensure sustainable funding. The fund, Every Child Capital, is housed at The Greater Cincinnati Foundation. Launch of a new collaborative, the Persistence Project, with funding from Lumina Foundation, to focus on improving postsecondary retention and completion rates throughout our region. Continuing to build momentum with Be the Change, a volunteer tutor recruitment initiative in partnership with United Way of Greater Cincinnati and Cincinnati Public Schools.Desc

DescIncluded in the other program services are National Advocacy & Strategic Foresight, Grantmaking and Student Lending, described below. - National Advocacy & Strategic Foresight - From July 2013 to June 2014, KnowledgeWorks worked closely with policymakers, national organizations, and other education stakeholders to drive demand for radically personalized learning. Throughout the year, KnowledgeWorks worked deeply with several state departments of education; including our home state of Ohio, Alabama, and others; on aligning strategies and funding behind each state's school improvement goals. At the federal level, KnowledgeWorks helped lead an advocacy campaign to encourage federal policymakers to invest in next generation high school models. KnowledgeWorks also engaged federal policymakers and partner organizations on the shift to a competency-based education system including transforming the nation's accountability, assessment, supports and interventions, and data systems policies. Included in these efforts was a convening of competency-based thought leaders in Dallas, Texas to evaluate the barriers to that shift and explore policy solutions that will provide competency-based practitioners with the flexibility to innovate. In addition, KnowledgeWorks released an infographic on the future of learning along with two papers exploring future scenarios, one for the learning ecosystem as a whole and the other on the future of teaching. KnowledgeWorks used these strategic foresight publications, along with Forecast 3.0, to encourage education stakeholders to create and pursue visions for a future learning ecosystem that is vibrant for all learners. We shared this work at 20 events around the country and distributed approximately 16,620 copies of our strategic foresight publications. - The Grant making program provided approximately $914,000 of grant funding to 65 organizations. - KnowledgeWorks served approximately 5,200 students during the fiscal year through its student lending programs.Desc

ExplanationThe Foundation has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the IRS and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Foundation believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Foundation's financial position, statement of activities, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Foundation has not recorded any reserves or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2014 and 2013. In the event interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits, the Foundation would recognize such amounts as a component of income tax expense.ExplanationTxt
