Program Services - Training and Implementation	Core - Part III, Line 4a	2012-2013 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 COMPRHENSIVE 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 ADMINSTRATION 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 SAFETY 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.
Program Services - Community Education	Core - Part III, Line 4b	2011-2012 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: KOMO 4 Radio; Q13 Fox News; Seattle's Child; Schools of Character magazine; Parent Map; KIRO 7 News; KOMO 4 News; PCMag.com; Brain, Child Magazine; Chicago Daily Herald; Edutopia; and Rules for Engagement (EdWeek blog). In addition, we collaborated with KOMO on a very successful three-month multi-media campaign about bullying prevention. 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 are in press in the Journal of Adolescent Health. Several staff from CfC represented the organization at various national and international conferences, presenting on our programs.
Program Services - PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT	Core - Part III, Line 4c	2011-2012 Achievements 1. Program development-Goal: To support the ongoing design and maintenance of our core programs. During this year, Committee for Children 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 timed to allow the teacher to pause and guide class discussion. 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 online registration for both school staff and families. The purchase of the program includes access to a host of online resources, and up to 80 percent of the grade level kits have been registered. This enables us and schools to know 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 program development. 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 16 countries who are translating and distributing the Second Step program to schools in their respective countries. 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.
