SINCE 1980, WE HAVE CREATED RESEARCH-PROVEN PROGRAMS AND PROVIDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO HELP SCHOOLS AND AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS BECOME CARING, INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES AND STIMULATING, SUPPORTIVE PLACES IN WHICH TO LEARN. THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS, STUDENTS ACQUIRE THE ACADEMIC SKILLS THEY NEED TO BE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS, TO THINK DEEPLY AND CRITICALLY SO THEY CAN CONTINUE LEARNING THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES, AND TO DEEPEN THEIR COMMITMENT TO VALUES SUCH AS KINDNESS, HELPFULNESS, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS. OUR OVERALL GOAL IS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY DISADVANTAGED ONES FOR WHOM SKILLS SUCH AS READING FLUENTLY, COMPREHENDING DEEPLY, THINKING CRITICALLY, AND PARTICIPATING MEANINGFULLY IN A CARING COMMUNITY WILL OPEN DOORS TO A MORE FULFILLING AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE. 0 0 817028 1552260 DISSEMINATION OF AFTERSCHOOL KIDZLIT AND AFTERSCHOOL KIDZMATHDEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES CENTER IS IMMERSED IN YEAR SIX OF ITS WORK WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE AFTER-SCHOOL INITIATIVE, WHICH IS SUPPORTING THE NATIONAL DISSEMINATION OF DSC'S AFTER-SCHOOL READING AND MATHEMATICS ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS THROUGH FUNDING PROVIDED BY THE NEW YORK LIFE FOUNDATION. THROUGH THE INITIATIVE, DSC'S GOAL IS TO RECRUIT 800 AFTER-SCHOOL SITES TO PARTICIPATE EACH YEAR. ALL PARTICIPATING AFTER-SCHOOL SITES SERVING A MAJORITY OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS RECEIVE A 25 PERCENT DISCOUNT ON PROGRAM MATERIALS; ALL OTHER SITES RECEIVE A 10 PERCENT DISCOUNT. ALL SITES ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO FREE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. 349292 888602 DISSEMINATION OF LESSON STUDY WITH FUNDING FROM THE METLIFE FOUNDATION, DSC HAS COMPLETED YEAR ONE AND IS NOW IN YEAR TWO OF AN INITIATIVE TO SUPPORT THE DISSEMINATION OF LESSON STUDY, A COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PRACTICE FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS. AS PART OF THIS EFFORT, DSC HAS FIELD-TESTED ITS LESSON STUDY SUPPORT KIT, MAKING THE MATERIALS AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS. DSC IS ALSO PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PARTICIPANTS. THROUGH THE LESSON STUDY INITIATIVE, TEACHERS LEARN TO BUILD TRUSTING, COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS, WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE THEIR CLASSROOM PRACTICE AND SO BETTER SUPPORT STUDENTS' LEARNING. 224132 0 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CARING SCHOOL COMMUNITY PROGRAM IN THE OAKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICTDEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES CENTER IS IN THE FIRST YEAR OF A THREE-YEAR GRANT FUNDED BY THE S.D. BECHTEL, JR. FOUNDATION, THE SAN FRANCISCO FOUNDATION, AND THE MENDELSON FAMILY FUND AT THE EAST BAY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TO ASSIST THE OAKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (OUSD, IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA) IN DEEPENING AND EXPANDING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CARING SCHOOL COMMUNITY (CSC) PROGRAM IN THE CITY'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. THE CLASSROOM AND SCHOOLWIDE COMMUNITY-BUILDING PROGRAM HELPS SCHOOLS CULTIVATE CARING, SUPPORTIVE, AND COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG STUDENTS, STAFF, AND PARENTS; A SENSE OF COMMON PURPOSE; AND A CLEAR COMMITMENT TO VALUES SUCH AS CARING, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, AND LEARNING. 6853960 19368447 DISSEMINATION OF THE CARING SCHOOL COMMUNITY PROGRAMDEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES CENTER IS IN THE THIRD YEAR OF A NATIONAL INITIATIVE FUNDED BY THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION TO DISSEMINATE CARING SCHOOL COMMUNITY (CSC), OUR CLASSROOM AND SCHOOLWIDE COMMUNITY-BUILDING PROGRAM. THE GRANT PERIOD NOW EXTENDS THROUGH THE END OF THE 2011-12 SCHOOL YEAR (JUNE). IN ADDITION TO PURSUING EXPANDED DISSEMINATION OF CSC TO OTHER DISTRICTS, WE WANT TO FOCUS SIGNIFICANT EFFORT ON HELPING DISTRICTS THAT HAVE ADOPTED CSC AS PART OF THE RWJF INITIATIVE TO DEEPEN AND SUSTAIN QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION IN THE FUTURE. THE CARING SCHOOL COMMUNITY PROGRAM HELPS SCHOOLS CULTIVATE CARING, SUPPORTIVE, AND COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG STUDENTS, STAFF, AND PARENTS; A SENSE OF COMMON PURPOSE; AND A CLEAR COMMITMENT TO VALUES SUCH AS CARING, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, AND LEARNING.OTHERDURING THE PAST YEAR, WE AT DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES CENTER HAVE ENGAGED IN MUCH MORE THAN THOSE PROJECTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN NOTED. HIGHLIGHTS OF SOME OF THESE SMALLER PROJECTS AND/OR OTHER POINTS OF WORK INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING.WITH FUNDING FROM THE WALTER & ELISE HAAS FUND, DSC PROVIDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COACHING FOR TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS TO SUPPORT QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION OF DSC'S CARING SCHOOL COMMUNITY PROGRAM (CSC) AT 27 SCHOOLS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (SFUSD). SFUSD SUFFERED STEEP FUNDING CUTS FOR 2010-11, AND, AS A RESULT, THE DISTRICT HAD TO DISBAND ITS DISTRICT-LEVEL TEAM OF CSC COORDINATORS. WITH REMAINING CARRY-OVER FUNDING FROM THE ORIGINAL JULY 2008-JULY 2010 GRANT, DSC STAFF THEREFORE PROVIDED OVERALL COORDINATION OF CSC IN THE DISTRICT AND WORKED DURING THE 2010-11 SCHOOL YEAR WITH SELECTED SFUSD PRINCIPALS, SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAMS, AND TEACHERS TO PRESERVE AND DEEPEN IMPLEMENTATION IN PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS. AS A RESULT OF A COLLABORATION BETWEEN DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES CENTER AND THE NEW SCHOOLS PROJECT AND FUNDING FROM THE W. CLEMENT AND JESSIE V. STONE FOUNDATION, DSC PROVIDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TO THE NEW SCHOOLS PROJECT'S ADOPTION OF DSC'S MAKING MEANING AND BEING A WRITER PROGRAMS. WHEN DR. PATTY HORCH, THE DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOLS AFFILIATED WITH NEW SCHOOLS PROJECT (NSP), RETIRED IN 2009, DSC CONTINUED WORKING TO SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR LITERACY PROGRAMS. ALTHOUGH WE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH FIVE NSP SCHOOLS DURING THE 2009-10 SCHOOL YEAR, WE FOUND THAT, DESPITE GOOD IMPLEMENTATION EFFORTS BY SELECTED TEACHERS IN SELECTED SCHOOLS, OVERALL IMPLEMENTATION SUFFERS WHEN THERE IS A LACK OF BUY-IN BY PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS' PRINCIPALS, AND WHEN, IN THE FACE OF OTHER INITIATIVES, OUR PROGRAMS ARE NOT A PRIORITY. THE LACK OF STRONG SUPPORT FOR EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION SEVERELY LIMITS OUR ABILITIES. BASED ON THE POSITIVE RESPONSE TO MAKING MEANING VOCABULARY, WHICH SUPPLEMENTS DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES CENTER'S READING COMPREHENSION PROGRAM MAKING MEANING, WE ARE NOW COMPLETING DEVELOPMENT OF WORDS IN ACTION, A "STAND-ALONE" VOCABULARY PROGRAM FOR TEACHERS WHO DO NOT USE MAKING MEANING. WORDS IN ACTION FOR GRADES K-2 IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE DSC CATALOG; GRADES 3-6 WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SUMMER 2012.ANOTHER AREA OF OUR WORK IS WITH AFTERSCHOOL KIDZSCIENCE. IN COLLABORATION WITH LAWRENCE HALL OF SCIENCE, WE HAVE NOW COMPLETED THE FOURTH OF THE GREEN SCIENCE KITS FOR GRADES 3-5 ("FRESH WATER," "WASTE NOT," "ALTERNATIVE ENERGY," AND "FOOD FROM PLANTS"). WE ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING TWO NEW FORENSIC SCIENCE KITS, CRIME LAB SCIENCE AND MYSTERY DETECTIVES. THESE ARE SCHEDULED TO BE PUBLISHED IN FALL/WINTER 2012. WE ARE ALSO DEVELOPING ANOTHER KIT CALLED SUNLIGHT SCIENCE. LAWRENCE HALL OF SCIENCE IS COLLABORATING WITH NASA ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS KIT, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO BE PUBLISHED IN SPRING 2013.AS PART OF DEVELOPING/ENHANCING DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES CENTER'S LITERACY OFFERINGS, THE ORGANIZATION IS EXPLORING NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO INFUSE INTO OUR PROGRAMS. WHILE WE WILL CONTINUE TO STUDY THE POSSIBILITIES, SEVERAL THEMES HAVE BEGUN TO EMERGE: -ELECTRONIC TEACHER MANUALS: WE HOPE TO DEVELOP A NEW GENERATION OF TEACHER MANUALS, WHICH WILL INCLUDE EMBEDDED VIDEOS THAT SHOW EXEMPLARY PRACTICES. -INTERACTIVE WHITE BOARDS. FOR USE, AT FIRST, WITH THE MAKING MEANING AND BEING A WRITER PROGRAMS, WE ARE EXPLORING USE OF INTERACTIVE WHITE BOARDS, WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN EASY WAY TO DISPLAY PROGRAM MATERIALS, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, DIRECTIONS FOR STUDENTS AND PROMPTS FOR TEACHERS. THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL HELP ENSURE FIDELITY TO THE PROGRAM AND BETTER SUPPORT QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION.-WEB-ENABLED EXTENSION ACTIVITIES. USING INTERNET RESOURCES, STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO COLLABORATE ON EXTENSION ACTIVITIES RELATED TO WHAT THEY ARE LEARNING-COLLABORATIONS THAT CAN EXTEND BEYOND A SINGLE CLASSROOM OR SCHOOL. DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES CENTER'S SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP CONTINUES TO PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERACTIVE BLOGS ON THE DSC WEBSITE AND TO BUILD OUR PRESENCE ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. PARTICULARLY PROMISING EFFORTS HAVE BEEN (1) THE DEVELOPMENT OF A JOURNALING PROJECT AT FORREST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN PHILADELPHIA, WHERE STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND ADMINISTRATORS ARE CREATING BLOGS ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES USING BEING A WRITER AND DEVELOPING A PORTFOLIO OF STUDENT WRITING; AND (2) GROWING BLOGGING ACTIVITY BY FACILITATORS AND TEACHERS WHO ARE ENGAGED IN LESSON STUDY PRACTICE. THE NUMBER OF VISITORS TO THE DEVSTU WEBSITE IS GROWING AT A 25%-30% RATE ANNUALLY. APPROXIMATELY 25% OF THIS TRAFFIC IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO OUR SOCIAL MEDIA EFFORTS-E.G., VISITORS WHO COME TO DEVSTU THROUGH FACEBOOK OR TWITTER AND/OR IN RESPONSE TO OUR E-MAIL NEWSLETTERS. 6853960 19368447 8244412 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 84 0 120 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X RICK DINKLE DIR OF FIN AND OP 5105330213 2000 EMBARCADERO STE 305 OAKLAND CA 94606 TRAYNOR MICHAEL 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVIS JONES LINDA 2.00 X 0 0 0 KING ROGER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DOANE KEN 2.00 X 0 0 0 MCLAUGHLIN MILBREY 2.00 X 0 0 0 ABRAHAMSON TSAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 WOJCICKI ESTHER 2.00 X 0 0 0 QUINN JANE 2.00 X 0 0 0 STERLING RICHARD 2.00 X 0 0 0 WALLY SUSAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 STAGE ELIZABETH 2.00 X 0 0 0 SCHAPS ERIC THRU 63011 40.00 X X 178250 0 13703 SNYDER FRANK 40.00 X X 178250 0 13703 BERMAN JAN 40.00 X 137683 0 6863 DINKLE RICHARD 40.00 X 130910 0 12164 BRUNN PETER 40.00 X 130910 0 17451 ALLDREDGE SUSIE 40.00 X 136325 0 6863 RADCLIFFE BARBARA 40.00 X 116280 0 12007 BINKLEY DENNIS 40.00 X 117196 0 6370 REGAN SHAILA 40.00 X 94279 0 7028 BANDINI LISA KENT 40.00 X 95285 0 7451 VENTURIS CHRISTINE 40.00 X 95285 0 21233 STUART KELLY 40.00 X 120562 0 9667 1246366 0 98791 9 0 1 0 LIFELONG LEARNING INC 18277 BARROSO STREET HOWLAND HEIGHTS CA 91748 SALES REP 257424 O'BRIEN ASSOCIATES 2512 GRENOBLE ROAD RICHMOND VA 23294 SALES REP 221521 A&A EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES 2073 OROVILLE-CHICO WAY DURHAM CA 95938 SALES REP 185557 ELIZABETH LOTHROP 70 PORTER ROAD ANDOVER MA 01810 SALES REP 174094 LYNDA ZINS DIXON 90 WARREN ROAD WEST ORANGE NJ 07062 SALES REP 150975 13 2008694 2008694 CONSULTING AND WORKSHO 519100 575323 575323 575323 16655 16655 3260 3260 3260 3260 21233986 11507618 9726368 9726368 12330300 10301691 0 19915 1211463 731207 418372 61884 4719600 3622816 1069353 27431 1113687 817563 279353 16771 1298 1298 87166 87166 857768 665758 144052 47958 490067 452966 36275 826 116160 49908 65226 1026 377787 289262 82244 6281 579286 541932 20549 16805 392185 366341 24395 1449 6409 6409 37412 37412 54770 54770 RESOURCES/ED MATERIALS 599818 596373 3445 STIPENDS/HONORARIUMS 56471 56396 75 COPYRIGHT FEES/LICENSES 46696 46085 611 MISCELLANEOUS 24480 -773 25253 STAFF RECRUIT/TRAINING 9612 8578 1034 10782135 8244412 2357292 180431 653091 909939 3928065 4782846 985000 1001800 1676320 2375965 4114490 3759267 203856 291654 411404 274788 94549 136616 11655371 13258087 1335308 1338626 136003 145772 94997 136461 1566308 1620859 X 8651634 10130878 1437429 1506350 10089063 11637228 11655371 13258087 1548165 0 X X 0 1 1 X 0 X 1593084 1920323 1321296 3083055 2008694 9926452 12657521 20919981 20805245 18178868 21809309 94370924 14250605 22840304 22126541 21261923 23818003 104297376 330236 728431 377668 1753831 1067069 4257235 1345872 2435731 4249506 2829780 5869579 16730468 1676108 3164162 4627174 4583611 6936648 20987703 83309673 60435 47819 30679 19885 16655 175473 60435 47819 30679 19885 16655 175473 14311040 22888123 22157220 21281808 23834658 104472849 0.79740 0.81690 0.00170 0.00380 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 24451 20095 4356 291489 159229 132260 95464 95464 0 136616 CAPITAL LEASES 136461 136461 12330300 10782135 1548165 0 1548165 12330300 0 12330300 0 12330300 10782135 0 10782135 0 10782135 DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X: DSC HAS EVALUATED ITS CURRENT TAX POSITIONS AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2011, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH A RESERVE WOULD BE NECESSARY.
