Core - Part III, Line 4a2013-2014 Achievements 1. Online training and implementation support-Goal: To provide high-quality, efficient and accessible training and support to ensure successful implementation of our programs. This year we launched the Second Step Bullying Prevention Unit, which has a comprehensive interactive online training with modules specifically designed for school principals, teachers, counselors, and all support staff. The training is designed to be taken individually, and has administration tools to both invite school staff to take the training and monitor their completion, which can be viewed at both the school and district level. There is also a wealth of online resources, including student and staff snapshot surveys, a class climate survey, friendship surveys, class meeting templates, and safely and respectful behavior plans. 2. Implementation research-Goal: To identify barriers to high-quality implementation and develop and test tools for addressing barriers. We have started to evaluate which of our current online tools and resources are being utilized. The work on the evaluation of online tools will continue into the next year and will give us valuable information about how to improve the delivery of essential implementation support tools and resources to Second Step users. We have partnered with Lisa Jones from the University of New Hampshire, who is evaluating the implementation and dissemination of Second Step in a large, urban school district. Her work will inform us about how we can develop implementation support tools and resources for these districts. Lastly, we conducted several focus groups with teachers in our current Second Step randomized control trial. We are currently using the resulting information to develop tools and resources to help teachers and schools more easily reinforce Second Step skills. 3. Program Evaluation-Goal: To partner with university researchers to conduct evaluations on Committee for Children's programs. Research and program evaluation partnerships include the University of Washington, Arizona State University, University of Massachusetts, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and University of New Hampshire. In addition, we have developed research partnerships with the American Institutes of Research and ICF International. Internationally, we have developed relationships with the University of Manchester and the World Bank and will continue to pursue research partnerships with these entities.
Core - Part III, Line 4b2013-2014 Achievements: 1. Media outreach-goal: to increase community awareness of social-emotional learning, bullying prevention, and child sexual abuse prevention through media partners. Committee for Children was featured in articles and interviews in the following media channels: New York Times, Education Week, Huffington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Times, Clear Channel stations, Schools of Character magazine; Parent Map; Kiro 7 News; Komo 4 News; Q13 news; and Edutopia. 2. Conferences, presentations, publications-goal: to disseminate research findings on bullying prevention, social-emotional learning, and child sexual abuse prevention. Findings from the 36-school randomized controlled trial of the Second Step Middle School program has been published in the Journal of Adolescent Health. CFC staff conducted research and developed a literature review of effective child protection strategies pursuant to the organization's development of a new Child Protection Unit to Second Step (which will be released in 2014-15). Several staff from CfC represented the organization at various national and international conferences, presenting on our programs. 3.Advocacy-goal: to effect policy change at the state and federal levels, in support of CFC's mission areas, such as creating social-emotional learning standards as part of state and federal education requirements; and instituting bullying prevention and child sexual abuse prevention policies at the state and federal levels. Committee for Children presented with other key leaders at a Congressional Briefing in Washington DC, to highlight the value of social-emotional learning (SEL) for federal policy-makers. The organization also conducted a "Lobby Day" to meet with legislators in our home state to educate them about the value of social-emotional learning and encourage development of SEL learning standards for Washington State schools. Staff also supported efforts of the "Social-Emotional Alliance of Massachusetts" (SAM) to elevate awareness and support of SEL in the Commonwealth. Staff played key leadership roles on various coalitions that focus on prevention of child sexual abuse, bullying, and gun violence.
Core - Part III, Line 4c2013-2014 Acheivements: 1. Program development-goal: to support the ongoing design and Maintenance of our core programs. During this year, CfC released a brand-new unit designed to be taught with our core program, Second Step, called the Second Step Bullying Prevention Unit for children Kindergarten through third grade. The program is composed of a comprehensive, interactive online staff training and student lessons, which are all story-based videos. Teaching tools such as "following through" cards and class meeting templates are available online, as are family materials to email or print and send home, such as "home links" and a "family letter." 2. Product (program) resources online with registration goal: to provide implementation support to schools and information to families. Committee for Children's programs come with a unique number for on line registration for both school staff and families. The purchase of the program includes access to a host of online resources, and up to 70 percent of the grade level kits have been registered. This enables us and schools to know better which programs are being taught where, and by whom, allowing us to remain engaged with educators throughout their implementation. Families are also able to register and gain access to valuable information, such as what the second step program is, and how social-emotional skills have a positive impact on academic achievement and provide foundational skills to prevent bullying and aggressive behaviors. We also are able to use web analytics to inform enhancements to our online support. 3. Partnership development-goal: to build partnerships to expand Committee for Children's reach, impact, and effectiveness. As part of our international outreach, we have partners in 14 countries who are translating and distributing the Second Step program to schools. We continued to partner with the conditions for learning coalition, a Washington DC-based coalition that works to advocate for passage of the elementary and secondary education act and to support and provide funding for social-emotional learning. This group works with the department of education, members of congress, and other agencies on how to advise and provide funding for schools to implement social-emotional learning programs. In addition, Committee for Children worked in a coalition in Washington State to pass child sexual abuse prevention legislation that will require new teachers to receive appropriate training in recognizing and reporting victims of child sexual abuse and commercial exploitation.
Core - Part III, Line 4dProduction: Assembles and distributes educational programs and materials and maintains and manages program inventory. Research & Evaluation: 1. Program evaluation-goal: to partner with university researchers to conduct evaluations on Committee for Children's programs. Research and program evaluation partnerships include the University of Washington, Arizona State University, and University of New Hampshire. In addition, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have obtained funding from federal agencies to conduct evaluations of our programs. Internationally, we have developed relationships with the University of Manchester in the UK as well as the World Bank, and will continue to pursue research partnerships with these entities. 2. Further Knowledge of the SEL Field- Goal: to contribute information and broaden understanding of the practical application of SEL in education. We have published an article, "The Role of Social-Emotional Learning in Bullying Prevention Efforts" in the Journal Theory into Practice. And provided presentations in several educational settings: " University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavior Science Grand Rounds, we lectured on "Social Skills as a Foundation for Learning" " London International Conference on Education led panel discussion on "The Fidelity-Adaptation Debate and the Implementation of School-Based Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Interventions" " National Association for the Education of Young Children conference: "Teaching Self-Regulation Skills to Close the Income-Based Achievement Gap" " International Bullying Prevention Conference: "Using Children's Literature to Build SEL Skills" " Annual meeting of the National Forum on Character Education, Washington, DC: Presented a paper on Preventing Bullying by Promoting Character. " Bi-annual meeting of the International Congress on Emotional Intelligence: Presented a paper on Taking School Based Social Emotional Learning to Scale. 3. Implementation research-goal: to identify barriers to high-quality implementation and develop and test tools for addressing barriers. We have started to evaluate which of our current online tools and resources are being utilized. The work on the evaluation of online tools has been underway for almost a year, and is now giving us valuable information about how to improve the delivery of essential implementation support tools and resources to Second Step users. We have partnered with Lisa Jones from the University of New Hampshire, who is evaluating the implementation and dissemination of Second Step in a large, urban school district. Her work is informing our development of implementation support tools and resources for large, urban districts. Lastly, we have conducted focus groups with teachers in our current Second Step randomized control trial, which has informed our development of new tools and resources to help teachers and schools more easily implement and reinforce Second Step skills.
