THROUGH DISSEMINATION OF OUR PROGRAMS, WE SEEK TO HELP ALL CHILDREN 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 THE YOUNG PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE DISADVANTAGED ONES, FOR WHOM THE SKILLS OF READING FLUENTLY, COMPREHENDING DEEPLY, THINKING CRITICALLY, AND PARTICIPATING MEANINGFULLY IN A CARING COMMUNITY, OPEN THE DOOR TO A LIFE THAT IS FULFILLING AND PRODUCTIVE. 0 0 893344 1185615 Dissemination of AfterSchool KidzLit and AfterSchool KidzMathWith funding from the New York Life Foundation we continued dissemination of our after-school reading and mathematics enrichment programs. This year dissemination efforts expanded to a nationwide focus, with a goal of achieving adoptions by up to 800 after-school sites nationally. We are offering sites that serve high-percentages of low-income students a 25% discount on KidzLit and KidzMath materials and free professional development. To date for the year, 440 sites have signed on. We also created and launched on-line professional development courses for both programs, which sites can access to provide staff training. 487278 701597 Dissemination of the Caring School Community ProgramWith funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation we completed a second year, and began a third year, of a national initiative to disseminate our classroom and school-wide community-building program, Caring School Community. To date, a total of 152 schools are participating in the initiative. All participating schools receive free professional development for teachers, principals, and district leaders. The Caring School Community program helps schools to cultivate caring and supportive relationships; respectful collaboration among students, staff and parents; a sense of common purpose; and a clear commitment to values of caring, respect, responsibility, and learning. 162426 0 DSC OnlineDuring the year, we upgraded the DSC website to enable us to better utilize the new generation of interactive web-based technologies and provide expanded on-line learning capabilities. We developed and made available on-line courses for our Making Meaning reading comprehension program and for our AfterSchool KidzLit and AfterSchool KidzMath programs. For our team of independent sales representatives we created 17 on-line courses,which cover key elements of all of our in-school and after-school programs and offer suggested sales strategies. In addition to these courses, we conduct two or three webinars each month for our independent sales representatives, to share information about our programs and relevant marketing ideas and strategies. We also conducted a series of overview webinars that are available to the public-i.e., educators who are interested in learning more about our programs. These include webinars on the SIPPS decoding program, Being a Writer, Making Meaning, Caring School Community, AfterSchool KidzScience, vocabulary building, and an introduction to the work of DSC. All of these webinars are archived for convenient access. We established a platform to support on-line discussion forums so that users of our programs can discuss their experience and share their learning with others. 6578265 16291656 We revised units for grades K and 1 of our Being a Writer program and published eight new supplemental genre units (poetry, letter writing, persuasive nonfiction, and functional nonfiction) for grades 3-6. We are nearing completion of a vocabulary program, called Words In Action, for grades K-2, which will be published in July, 2011. In collaboration with the Lawrence Hall of Science at U.C. Berkeley, we are developing the AfterSchool KidzScience program. To date, we have published two of the program's three series of hands-on, inquiry-based science activities-Physical Science and Life Science. A third series-Green Science-will be published later this summer. We created and are currently field-testing a Lesson Study Support Kit to assist schools in conducting lesson study-an ongoing staff development process that involves teachers in planning, observing, and analyzing lessons in one another's classrooms. With funding from the Walter & Elise Haas Fund, we provided professional development in the Caring School Community program to 25 schools in the San Francisco Unified School District. With funding from the W. Clement & Jessie V. Stone Foundation, we provided professional development in the Making Meaning and Being a Writer programs to six schools affiliated with the New Schools Project in Chicago. 6578265 16291656 8121313 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 1 87 0 1 124 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13 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 Director of Finance and Operations 5105330213 2000 Embarcadero Ste 305 oakland CA 94606 STAGE ELIZABETH 2.00 X 0 0 0 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 Schaps Eric 40.00 X X 187000 0 37714 Snyder Frank 40.00 X X 187000 0 37809 Berman Jan 40.00 X 143500 0 19974 Dinkle Richard 40.00 X 137800 0 26618 Brunn Peter 40.00 X 137800 0 16153 Alldredge Susie 40.00 X 139280 0 15782 Radcliffe Barbara 40.00 X 122400 0 24101 Binkley Dennis 40.00 X 122400 0 18063 Regan Shaila 40.00 X 123040 0 19729 Stuart Kelly 40.00 X 118255 0 19381 Bandini Lisa Kent 40.00 X 100300 0 17351 Venturis Christine 40.00 X 100300 0 24249 1619075 0 276924 12 0 1 0 O'Brien Associates 2512 Grenoble Road Richmond VA 23294 sales Rep 634371 PS Associates 235 N Northwest Highway Park Ridge IL 60068 Sales Rep 386366 Lynda Zins Dixon 90 Warren Road West Orange NJ 07062 Sales Rep 259970 Elizabeth Lothrop 70 Porter Road Andover MA 01810 sales Rep 240144 Nieman Educational Products 518 Oak Valley Drive Frontenac MO 63131 Sales Rep 225144 13 3083055 3083055 consulting and worksho 519100 455089 455089 455089 19574 19574 311 311 17723779 8918861 8804918 8804918 12362947 9260007 0 19885 1024502 686015 310939 27548 4344108 3627951 662409 53748 989136 791309 178044 19783 3018 3018 86414 86414 854754 769746 82795 2213 477554 441645 35116 793 174392 60720 112413 1259 363174 278095 78492 6587 427105 409867 14200 3038 368371 352672 15576 123 8720 8720 36916 36916 53521 53521 resource/ed materials 586619 580152 6467 Miscellaneous 87763 54967 32796 COPYRIGHT FEES/LICENSES 63482 62086 1396 stipends/honorariums 4553 4048 505 staff recruit/training 2040 2040 9956142 8121313 1719737 115092 334132 653091 2038150 3928065 985000 2205933 1676320 4401760 4114490 364825 203856 381640 287091 131465 94549 9476265 11655371 1605972 1335308 61063 136003 126972 94997 1794007 1566308 X 7390674 8651634 291584 1437429 7682258 10089063 9476265 11655371 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 0.31320 1194468 1593084 1920323 1321296 3083055 9112226 11816677 12657521 20919981 20805245 18178868 84378292 13011145 14250605 22840304 22126541 21261923 93490518 103424 330236 728431 377668 1753831 3293590 2667832 1345872 2435731 4249506 2829780 13528721 2771256 1676108 3164162 4627174 4583611 16822311 76668207 199217 60435 47819 30679 19885 358035 199217 60435 47819 30679 19885 358035 13210362 14311040 22888123 22157220 21281808 93848553 0.81690 0.00000 0.00380 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 24451 16828 7623 261725 174799 86926 95464 95464 0 94549 capital leases 94997 94997 12362947 9956142 2406805 0 2406805 12308455 0 12308455 54492 54492 12362947 9901650 0 9901650 54492 54492 9956142 Part X: Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: DSC has evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of October 31, 2010, it does not have any significant uncertain tax positions for which a reserve would be necessary.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 An electronic copy of the Form 990 was provided to each Board member prior to filing. Board members were asked to respond to the Director of Finance and Operations with any questions they may have. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c DSC's Conflict of Interest policy applies to all trustees, officers, and key employees. A conflict of interest is described as when a trustee, officer, or key employee, or members of his/her immediate family could receive material benefits from a transaction or undertaking involving DSC. Trustees, officers, and key employees must annually complete and return to the corporate secretary a declaration of Interest Which May Be in Conflict. If a trustee's, officer's, or key employee's circumstances change during the year in a way that causes the trustee, officer, or key employee to know or have reason to believe that he /she may have a conflict of interest, he/she must promptly disclose the potential conflict to the Board. The trustee, officer, or key employee shall not participate in or vote upon such matters until the question of the existence of the conflict has been resolved by the Board. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Compensation was determined by an outside marketing survey and data and internal ranking. This was last undertaken in 2006. The Board of Trustees reviews compensation at this level. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 All governing documents and financial statements are available upon request. Form 990, Part XI, Line 2c: The process has not changed from prior year.
