As part of the evaluation process we ask teachers periodically to write about their experiences. The aim of the journals is twofold, first, to capture feedback from teachers about the process and content of their work, and second, to provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on the progress of the project. The journals provide a chronicle for us to understand the progress of the project, as well as to identify the factors important to its success. Round 6 asks five questions, four seeking written comments and one scaled response to questions about computer literacy. In addition, Round 6 surveyed three groups: 1) the Summer Institute participants (21 responses); 2) the Kansas City program (22 responses); and 3) the Berrien Springs group of teachers (13 responses). The questions and a summary of responses are detailed in this report. Q1. What prompted you to participate in the K12 Education in Philanthropy Project? This question sought motivations for participation in the Project. Responses can be placed into three groups: 1) community commitment; 2) professional expertise; and 3) further education. Each of these groups of responses is discussed below, including differences between the three Project events. First, the most common motivation for teachers is their interest in serving their community and developing a sense of commitment to community in their students. This response was strongest in the Kansas City group (two-thirds noted this interest) but also important for the other groups, with over half of the teachers in each group citing a commitment to community. Teacher comments included: “I feel a tremendous sense of pride and satisfaction involving myself and students [in community projects]. I have a passion for this and want to make a lifelong difference in other’s lives.” “I want to get kids involved in changing our negative world.” “I would like to begin to explore ways to help children become lifelong ‘givers’ rather than lifelong ‘takers’.” 1 �“I feel we all improve ourselves and those we deal with by giving back.” “Young people need to have meaning in their school experiences.” Second, many teachers saw the Project as a way to gain professional expertise and to develop their teaching and curriculum development skills. For example: “I am interested in the connection between themes in a philanthropic curriculum and hands on application in a drama/public speaking/video setting.” “This was one way to begin to think about teaching the Core Democratic Values.” “To gain more experience that will help me as a professional in the future.” “I wanted to learn and practice lesson plan/unit plan structures that utilize a service learning methodology.” “My concern about how my community was addressing the needs of people who were not in the ‘mainstream’ economically.” “I want to know how to do a better job of making service learning a priority.” “I wanted to learn ways to incorporate the fine arts into my classroom. The philanthropy aspect was an added bonus to bring more awareness into my community of giving instead of expecting.” The third motivation, noted by several teachers, was to learn more about philanthropy, such as: “To learn more about philanthropy work and how to incorporate it better into my curriculum.” “I want to learn more about how the philanthropic sector works in our society.” Q2. What are the professional and personal goals you would like to achieve through the Project? Teachers were asked about their professional and personal goals for participating in the project. Professional goals predominated in responses, and can be divided into:1) incorporating philanthropy; 2) teaching and curriculum; and 3) citizenship. No distinct patterns emerged across the three groups in their responses to this question. 2 �The desire to incorporate philanthropy into the curriculum was noted by most of the teachers as a major goal of their participation in the Project. Comments include: “To help classes connect to their community.” “I want to learn how to incorporate service learning in the classroom and involve students in the project.” “To increase my knowledge so that I can continue to motivate and make a difference in the lives of my students.” Many teachers were also eager to learn more about teaching as a craft and profession, and to develop new skills around teaching and curriculum development. “I would like to become a better teacher.” “Confidence in the implementation of service learning.” “To become more familiar with benchmarks in curriculum and to network with other educators.” “I am hoping to gain techniques/strategies on how to teach the concept of philanthropy to my students so that they may become lifelong contributors to their communities.” “I would like to acquire more ideas and lesson plans to use with my class.” “Gaining new techniques keeps the teaching process new and exciting.” “Have more opportunities, experience, and credentials for doing in-service training.” The third professional motivation was an interest in citizenship: “To become better acquainted with ways to promote community service projects in my neighborhood and my school.” “I hope to meet others who can widen my spectrum of volunteerism, not only for my students but myself.” ”Be a productive citizen of society doing God’s will as my focus in life.” “I would like to become a better citizen and become more involved with the community.” 3 �Personal goals varied across many interests, including the development of networks, being energized about teaching, personal growth, and further educations. Among the comments for this question are: “Increase personal knowledge on history of philanthropy.” “Re-energize myself.” “Earn college credit.” “Have fun and learn!” “By helping others in the community (and our children) I feel a great self worth and sense of making a difference in the lives of others.” “I am looking at retirement . . . and see community service as a possible second career opportunity.” “A direction for me in volunteer work for the community, especially in retirement.” “Get ideas on how to implement philanthropy in my life through church and family.” “Personally, I hope to physically survive this very intense institute.” Q3. How supportive is your school of your participation in the Program? Did you make any agreements with your school about time and resources for the Project? Across all projects, teachers generally report that their schools are very supportive of their participation and the goals for the project. A number of teachers noted the availability of resources and release time for their projects. In some cases teachers are expected to report on their experience or to train other teachers. There are several cases where the school has little knowledge of the Project or provides only weak support. Unlike the initial years of the project, the issues of release time and resource availability are not raised as major points. Participants seem not to expect significant levels of release time for participation, although this survey was conducted during Summer 2000 before the start of the school year. Among the comments on this question are: “My Principal went to this Program last year and recommended it.” “Very supportive. They would like me to take my knowledge and get others at my school fired up about this and help them implement it into their classrooms.” “School is very supportive. Funds are available.” 4 �“Very supportive. The upper level team in my building is interested in implementing this project into our Social Studies instructions.” “Very supportive on my participation. Now . . . we will see how supportive they will be about implementing this program.” “My school sees this as a wonderful avenue to draw people together.” “I agreed that come August that I would share what I have learned with other colleagues during an in-service day.” “My principal agreed to three release days next year and to a staff development presentation. Several teachers raised points of caution about their participation: “Very supportive at the administrative level, however, other teachers at my school are less enthused by the philosophy of the Project.” “My principal is cautiously supportive.” “I had to explain to my administrator why I wanted to come and how I felt it would be helpful.” Q4. Can you identify any factors or resources that would assist you as the project continues (resources, time, structure, information, etc)? Additional needs were identified by approximately half of the teachers, falling into categories of: 1) time/release time; 2) project advocacy; 3) education resources. As the survey was conducted at the start of each program there was also some uncertainty about needs, while some of the identified needs are already well met by existing Project resources. As with past surveys of participants, time is always a valued commodity that is in short supply. Unlike past years, release time was not always requested but the need for time was acknowledged. Comments on this aspect include: “Time to plan and connect with partner.” “Release time to organize and discuss what we’re experiencing in the classroom.” 5 �Several teachers identified a need for communication with principals, schools, and the community about the goals and purpose of the project, such as: “Principals need training. Superintendents should be made aware.” “Inform the principal, and superintendent, and the board for support.” Education resources includes: “Lesson plans to try in the room.” “Specific examples of lessons.” “1) On-line resources; 2) workshops; 3) continued correspondence with facilitators.” “Appropriate literature lists.” Q5. How much experience do you have using any of the following computer functions? Computers have always been an essential element of the Project, providing significant technology for research, communication and lesson preparation, as well as being the source of some frustration for some teachers. Each year, greater computer facility is reported by teachers participating in the project. For the most recent group in general, teachers appear to be experienced in their use of e-mail and the World Wide Web. Less experience is reported for using attached documents and presentation software, such as Powerpoint. Despite the generally high comfort levels for basic Internet applications, there remain a number of teachers who report little experience. Of the total group, eight report little experience (1 or 2) with e-mail while 12 report little experience with the World Wide Web. The average response for each computer application is presented in bold below: Little/No Experience….Considerable Experience E-mail 1 2 3 4 5 3.76 World Wide Web 1 2 3 4 5 3.47 Attached documents 1 2 3 4 5 2.33 Presentation software ( eg. Powerpoint) 1 2 3 4 5 2.15 If all computer competencies are summed, for a score out of 20, differences become apparent by group, with the lowest ratings noted by the Kansas City teachers (10.7/20) followed by the 6 �Summer Institute (11.6/20) and the Berrien Springs group (13.5/20). These findings suggest that computer assistance may be required by the current members of the Project, with the Kansas City teachers reporting the lowest levels of experience with computers. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The grade levels in this field test ranged from kindergarten to twelfth grade. As part of the field test, teachers were asked to complete an evaluation form pertaining to their experience with the field test lesson. This is a summary report of those evaluation forms focusing exclusively on the 21 statements and the teachers’ endorsements relative to those statements. Each field test teacher was requested to complete an evaluation form. The form gathered teacher data for three broad areas: the effectiveness and clarity of the lessons, teaching experience, and familiarity with the subject of philanthropy. Teachers were asked to rate six statements pertaining to their background in philanthropy, six statements regarding the unit, and eight statements regarding the lessons. The ratings consisted of an endorsement ranging from 1 to 5, with 1 representing “Strongly Disagree” and 5 representing “Strongly Agree.” In addition to rating 21 statements using a scaled response, teachers were asked to complete two open-ended questions by listing specific positive and negative aspects of the lessons and unit. A copy of the evaluation form is provided in Appendix A. Completed evaluation forms were received from 236 teachers. This report is a summary of those evaluation forms focusing solely on the 21 statements and the teachers endorsements relative to those statements. The results from this field test are very similar to those found in the last field test. Demographics of Sample The teachers participating in the field test spanned all grade levels and varied widely teaching experience. One teacher had only 2 years of teaching experience and six ___________________________________________________________________________________ 1 �8/8/00 ________________________________________________________________________ teachers had 36 years of experience. The respondents’ experience breaks down as follows: 37.3% having 2 - 10 years experience, 21.6% having 11 - 20 years experience, 28.8% having 21 - 30 years of experience, and 12.3% having 31 - 36 years of experience. The following graph summarizes this information. Years of Teaching Experience 40 30 20 10 0 2 to 10 11 to 20 21 to 30 31 to 36 Teachers were asked to classify their schools according to three categories: 1) Urban 2) Rural 3) Suburban. The result show that a good representation of all three types is found in the field test sample, but urban schools are the least represented. The actual breakdowns are: Urban = 28.0% Rural = 29.7% Suburban = 38.6% Type of School 40 30 20 10 0 Urban Rural Suburban (3.8% of the teachers did not respond to this question.) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 2 �8/8/00 ________________________________________________________________________ Background in Philanthropy Most of the teachers in the field test felt that they were familiar with the area of philanthropy and the topic covered in the lesson they were field-testing. Approximately three-fourths of the teachers felt that the lessons were complete enough so that they did not need to conduct additional research prior to using the lesson. It appears from the results that most of the teachers volunteering for the field test were already including philanthropic topics in their teaching and had used topics similar to those found in the lessons. Despite the fact that most of these teachers currently include philanthropy in their teaching, few found that other teachers in their school had a desire to participate in this field test. The results from the ratings of statements 1 - 6 are provided in the following charts. A rating of “1” corresponds to “Strongly Disagree” and a “5” corresponds to “Strongly Agree.” The numbers 2 - 4 represent variations of the extremes. Statement 1. Prior to using this lesson I was very familiar with the area of Philanthropy.

Statement 6 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 1 2 3 4 5 Appraising the Learning Sequence The results from the teacher ratings in this section clearly show that the teachers found the unit/lessons clear and easy to use, producing a cohesive instructional set. Most teachers felt that the assessments provided useful information and overall, the unit/lessons were beneficial for the students. Almost 77% of the teachers gave a rating of 4 or 5 when asked if they would use the lesson again in their teaching. This certainly speaks well for the quality of the unit/lessons. The results from the teachers’ ratings for the six statements in this section are ___________________________________________________________________________________ 5 �8/8/00 ________________________________________________________________________ summarized in the charts below. A rating of “1” corresponds to “Strongly Disagree” and a “5” corresponds to “Strongly Agree.” The numbers 2 - 4 represent variations of the extremes. Teachers were also given the option of “Not Applicable” (N/A). Statement 1. I was able to understand and use all of the materials I received. Statement 1 100% 50% 0% 1 2 3 4 5 N/A Statement 2.

Statement 6 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% 1 2 3 4 5 N/A ___________________________________________________________________________________ 7 �8/8/00 ________________________________________________________________________ Teaching the Lessons The results from the teacher ratings indicate that generally, teachers found the objectives clear and the support materials useful, understandable, and complete. One area of concern before field-testing was the completeness of the lessons’ instructional procedures. The teachers who wrote the lessons certainly understood the intent of their own instructional procedures, but the concern was whether field test teachers with different experiences and teaching styles would perceive or understand the original intent of instructional procedures. When presented with a statement addressing this issue (statement 8) almost 93% rated it 4 or 5, indicating sufficient detail in the instructional procedures. Most teachers found the lessons’ grade levels appropriate and felt that their students found the lessons interesting. Statement 14 was intentionally worded so teachers would have to circle a low scale number to show that the lessons were clear, which was the opposite of statement 7. This was done to ensure that teachers were reading each of the statements and rating them individually rather than simply “circling all the 5s” without carefully reading the statements. The results for statement 14 indicate that teachers were taking the time to read the statements. Nearly 88% of the teachers disagreed that lessons were confusing, and when compared with statement 7 where almost 95% of the teachers agreed that the lessons were clear, demonstrating a consistency in the ratings. The results from the ratings of statements 7 - 15 are summarized in the graphs below. A rating of “1” corresponds to “Strongly Disagree” and a “5” corresponds to “Strongly Agree.” The numbers 2 - 4 represent variations of the extremes. Teachers were also given the option of “Not Applicable” (N/A). Statement 7. The unit/lesson objectives were clear. Statement 7 100% 50% 0% 1 2 3 4 5 N/A ___________________________________________________________________________________ 8 �8/8/00 ________________________________________________________________________ Statement 8.

Statement 15 60% 40% 20% 0% 1 2 3 4 5 N/A Summary The results from the evaluation forms used in the 1999-2000 field test are very similar to those found in the 1998 - 1999 field test, thus giving strong support for the quality of the lessons. As with all summative information, it must be noted that some teachers did not consider the lessons clear or useful in their classroom. Some did not find the procedural instruction complete and others did not plan to use these lessons again in the teaching. Overall, the results show that most teachers considered the lessons to be of high quality, with clear and understandable instructions. Most teachers felt that the supporting materials were sufficient and easily understandable. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 11 �8/8/00 ________________________________________________________________________ Conclusions • • • • The units and lessons were judged to be of high quality The units and lessons were judged interesting and beneficial to students The lessons were constructed clearly and were easy to execute Field test teachers doubted that their colleagues would be willing to field test the material. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 12 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As part of the evaluation process we ask teachers periodically to write about their experiences. The aim of the journals is twofold, first, to capture feedback from teachers about the process and content of their work, and second, to provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on the progress of the project. The journals provide a chronicle for us to understand the progress of the project, as well as to identify the factors important to its success. Round 4 asks 5 questions, all seeking written comments. In addition, Round 4 surveyed existing and joining teachers, with one similar questions directed to each group and remaining questions targeted to the experiences of the Matrix and Summer teachers. Responses came from 29 Matrix teachers and 19 Summer teachers. The questions and a summary of responses are detailed in this report. Q1. After all your efforts, what most excites you about your experience in the Project? The responses to this question can be organized into three themes. First, and most significant, is excitement about the experience and reaction of students. The positive feedback from students, and the opportunity to shape a caring society, emerges strongly from teacher responses. Comments include: "I am excited when I see in my classroom, in the hallways, in gym or the playground random acts of philanthropy" "The possibility of discovering 'the philanthropist within' each child and nurturing the thinking and development of life long philanthropists" A second theme is the personal satisfaction gained from the project, with teachers citing their own learning and professional development. The sense of creating something new and different is noted, and the process it self was mentioned by several as being exciting. Teachers expressed satisfaction and a sense of achievement as scholars in their own right. Part of this satisfaction emerges from the collegiality of the group and the opportunity to engage in an intellectual activity with a range of colleagues and professionals. Teacher comments include: 1 �"The learning! I have acquired so much new knowledge about curriculum/assessment writing, philanthropy, and computers!" "Professionally, it has been very validating to b a part of such a cutting edge endeavor." "The opportunity to work with a variety of teachers from all over the State and to share experiences and teaching experiences." The third theme clearly expressed is pride, pride in the achievement of the project and the distance covered since the project began. Common to most responses is a sense of accomplishment, and satisfaction in producing quality lessons and classroom materials. The sense of pride is captured by comments such as: "Being part of a team producing a quality product." "Seeing all of our handiwork come to fruition! The lessons on the website are very professional and it is an honor to have our lessons on the website." "The fact that we are doing this - that we are creating a curriculum to improve our own society and to ensure that 'philanthropy' grows within our youth." A similar question was asked of the teachers joining the program in summer 1999. This group responded to "What most excites you about participation in the Project?" Responses can be grouped into two categories. First is the subject matter, which drew teachers eager to make a difference in their students' lives and to their community. Most common is belief in making a more philanthropic society. Responses include: "I love the idea of a more philanthropic society." "I believe in the project." "Implementation of philanthropic ideals throughout the curriculum and my specific classroom." Teaching students to be a part of a whole community." A second stream of comments is associated with the personal growth afforded by the Project, and the challenge of being involved with a committed team. Involvement in an active team is valued, as is appreciation for being involved in the start of a major initiative. Many of the Summer teachers seem to appreciate the project as much for its process and challenge as for the content on philanthropy. "Being involved with a dynamic group of individuals who CAN make a difference in students." 2 �"I'm most excited about thew collaborative nature of this project and the effectiveness of development in the progression of the project." "The people involved!!" "Personal growth. Have already gained a great deal, but feel I still have a lot to learn. I look forward to growth through implementation of the lessons and community experiences along with being part of such a dynamic team." Additional comments included one teacher's sense of being validated by the Project's work, while another saw opportunities to connect with their students, who wanted to know more about philanthropy. One teacher also appreciated the stipend offered for their work. Q2a. What factors have been most important to your success in the Project? This question was directed to the matrix teachers. Responses to this question are grouped around four themes. The most commonly cited factor is the leadership of Kathy Agard and Terry Robidoux. Teachers were highly positive and appreciative of the Project's leadership; one person noted with regret that the growth of the project meant less interaction with the leadership. Comments include: "Assistance from Kathy and Terry who have always been there to support us through the project." "A well planned and organized project with a vision." "The extreme patience of Terry and Kathy." "The determination of the leadership to make this a reality." "The curriculum guidance provided by Terry." Equally significant in the responses is recognition of the role of colleagues and peers. The community created by the Project is strongly endorsed as a reason for success. Teachers noted the personal, academic, and group nature of their friendships and working relationships. "The partnerships/friendships formed with other teachers." "My success n the project was working with great teachers." A third factor for success is the training received by teachers, both in terms of content on nonprofit matters and training in use of computers. While training was mentioned by a number of the teachers, only three specified computer training. This is significant as 3 �computer issues were prominent during the early stages of the project, but now seem to recede as this group completes its work. Comments on training include: "Opportunities for additional learning." "Learning background of philanthropic behavior in America." "The training and peer support." "Materials that have introduced us to the various concepts of philanthropy." "The training we received over two intensive years." The final factor noted by a number of teachers is release time to allow them to participate and work on the Project. Q2b. How supportive is your school of your participation in the program? Did you make any agreements with your school about time and resources for the project? The Summer teachers were asked about their experience with their schools. In general, teachers felt some support, although the range is extensive, from grudging support to major recognition of the efforts involved. Teachers seeing their schools as positive note: “Very supportive – my teaching load has been adjusted for me to be able to further implement our existing program.” “My administrator is highly supportive. She has given me carte blanche with time and school resources.” “Principal has agreed to 3 release days” “Verbally supportive – but I have not seen much active interest or concern.” “They are supportive as long as I continue to maintain the standards and benchmarks of the MEAP.” An equal number of teachers find some reticence, or lack of interest from their administrators, expressing concern for the demands of the project on the school, to being unaware of the role of philanthropy. Comments on this experience include: “My district is somewhat supportive.” “They are curious, but wondering what this is all about. Is it to last? Where did it come from? Why another thing to MEAP? Kids aren’t getting basics down – how will they find time for this new thing?” 4 �“They take a ‘hands off’position in supporting me. While honoring my participation, application beyond my own realm has not yet been supported.” “Right now the school is basically unaware that we even participated. Have had informal discussions with the superintendent but did not understand that participation in the summer program might have implications for district resources in the future.” Q3a. Would you recommend any changes in process or content to assist teachers joining the project this year? Many of the matrix teachers did not see any reason to change the project or its methods. A number agreed that problems that arose at the start have been resolved and improvements implemented. Among the suggestions made, clear direction and expectations were listed by several of the teachers: “Just make sure lines of communication are open and frequent contact is made.” “Provide/review how lessons can be developed by going from assessment to objectives.” “A clear set of expectations and timeframe is critical.” “Make a lesson planner toolkit.” A number of existing project activities is endorsed for future years: “The Summer Institute was an excellent way to bring in the new teachers.” They should have opportunity to attend a conference on philanthropy like October 1997.” “I’m sure the content standards and templates has really made a big difference.” “How do you present all that has been done thus far? Do people realize how far we have come since the project was conceived?” As has been noted in past journals, less reading and more time for interaction and collaboration has a high priority: “More time to work together on developing curriculum.” 5 �“I am just inundated with the paper and reading material and rarely (ie. Never) refer to them.” Q3b. How effective are the meetings, and how important are they to the mission of the project? The Summer teachers were asked about meetings and their importance for the project. Several noted that it was their first meeting, but the consensus was that the meetings were useful and constructive. The response to the meetings was positive, with many seeing them as a core activity of the project. Among the comments are: “The meetings keep my ideas flowing and provide some hope.” “The meetings are wonderful. Very nurturing of the teachers soul. Giving and fulfilling to people who empty themselves on a regular basis.” “Very effective from the standpoint of communication of new information and guidance on how to proceed with lesson plans.” “Meetings renew interest and commitment, therefore they are crucial to success.” “The Summer Institute have us a great deal of information and the foundation to begin implementing philanthropy in the curriculum. Meeting again in September was important because it brought us back on track.” Q4a. How have your students responded to the lessons you have tested to date? All teachers report that their students have been interested in the material and excited by the ideas presented in class. No teacher reported any problems or resistance, and several noted how their lessons have encouraged students to become involved in their communities, to practice what they have been learning. Comments on classroom responses include: “My students have loved being involved in philanthropy.” “Very well – I have piloted four units – I made revisions as a result of the piloting – but generally student reaction has been very positive.” “Interested and sometimes surprised at the connection of philanthropy to their lives and what they are learning.” “My enthusiasm is passed onto them and I see sides of them that I never saw with my ‘regular’ lessons, such as their hopes, dreams, and priorities.” 6 �“Initially they do not always like them but upon completion are very excited by the positive feelings and knowledge that they have acquired.” “They have enjoyed them because my lessons involve service learning which brings a new aspect to classroom learning.” Q4b. Can you identify any factors or resources that would assist you as the project continues (resources, time, structure, information, etc) The summer teachers were polled about their needs as they work in the project. This question raised several points, including the call made earlier for more time and for communication to be maintained between all in the project. Several teachers also called for more information about how this material fit into MEAP requirements. Some comments concern current practices that some teachers wish to see continued: “Time to work with staff to develop lessons/ assessments.” “I am very concerned about participants and communication being ‘lost’ as we continue to grow.” Teachers also made some suggestions of ways they could be helped in their tasks: “Information to help teachers understand the positive implications for MEAP scores.” “Could we have a traveling support person, who would present to each school the project as my voice is beginning to ring hollow.” Q5a. How satisfied are you with the recognition and credit you receive for your work on the project (from project leaders, school colleagues and administration, students etc.)? Matrix teachers were asked about their recognition, and while many felt satisfied or very satisfied by their experience, there was an undercurrent of disappointment about how their efforts had been received. Different groups provide different levels of feedback and satisfaction. In general, teachers were satisfied by the response of their students and the project, but far less satisfied by the reactions from their schools and administration. The responses address recognition from three groups: project leaders, schools; and students. Teachers in the project seem very satisfied by the feedback and support given to them by project leaders. Leaders were seen as responsive and committed to the project and eager to praise when due. There were several teachers who felt that their work was not appreciated. Comments on recognition include: 7 �“From the project leaders the recognition is continual.” “Project leaders – sincere concern and interest.” “Project leaders have been super!” “Project leaders = A!” “Somewhat satisfied from project leaders.” “Project leaders, quite satisfied – feel wanted/justified.” “On the project I’ve found Kathy Agard extremely excited about ideas.” “Project leaders = excellent!” “I became discouraged when I did not receive feedback from the project leaders. When I did receive feedback extremely late in the history of the project my enthusiasm had died.” “The project leaders are fantastic at giving strokes.” “Well satisfied.” The experience with the project contrasts dramatically with recognition from schools. Teachers felt very little support in most cases, and several noted that they did not feel their administrators or school districts understood or were interested in their achievements. Teacher responses included: “Some fellow teachers question why we want to be involved.” “School colleagues going from warm reception to tepid.” “Our team has received some recognition for projects conducted in school. We would like more support from higher up.” “School colleagues are interested and supportive. Administration has been pretty uninvolved and disinterested at the district level. My building principal is supportive of my plans and activities.” “The community in which I work and live is apathetic in general – the school community is passive overall, some colleagues are curious and envious.” “Our district does not realize the importance of the work we are doing and rarely acknowledges the accomplishments of the teachers.” 8 �When teachers responded about their students it was always in very positive terms. In fact for several, it was the most consistent and satisfying element of recognition they received. Comments about students include; “My greatest satisfaction has been the fact that my students recognize philanthropy.” “Students – consistently high interest.” Q5b. How confident do you feel using computers? Do you use any of the following computer functions?: e-mail, world wide web, attached documents, powerpoint. Given the significant challenges confronted by the Matrix teachers as they used computers, we also asked the Summer teachers about their computer experience. Even though only a few years had passed since the Matrix teachers received their computers, the growth of computer skills in the general population is also evident in project participants. Computers seem to be far less frustrating to the Summer teachers. In terms of proficiency, most have some or good proficiency although several noted they barely knew how to use a computer. Comments about proficiency include: “Very proficient.” “Fairly proficient.” “Just bought my first computer.” “I am technologically illiterate. Help me!” “Not very; they are a scary word processing and editing unit!” The range of proficiencies varies across computer tasks. E-mail seems to be widely used; the world wide is familiar, although used less than e-mail; and applications such as attached documents and powerpoint are far less familiar. Comments suggest an openness to learning about computers and less frustration than exhibited by past groups. Reaction to this question suggests that further training would be welcome. 9 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Policy, Evaluation Design, Oversight, and Reporting The evaluation of the Initiative and its impact is guided by a volunteer-led committee that meets at least two times per year. The committee is composed of seasoned professionals from the nonprofit sector, community leadership, and education. The committee reports, both verbally and in writing, on the progress of the project, “lessons learned”, and with interim evaluations to the Steering Committee twice per year. Quality Assurance Protocols Evaluation within the lesson development protocols occur at each stage of development. Student learning benchmarks have been developed using a Delphi research process involving national philanthropic leaders. The research results were then reviewed by over forty K-12 classroom teachers and refined for age appropriate expectations. The benchmarks were presented to and approved by the Project Steering Committee. Individual units and classroom lessons are written to a standard template that includes authentic assessment guidance of student learning, and rubrics for scoring. The lessons/unit structure and teaching process are reviewed by two experienced educators prior to piloting the lessons. Each lesson is reviewed by an Independent Fairness Review Committee composed of representatives from various points of view-ethnic, geographic, cultural-under the guidance of an outside psychomatrician. Each lesson is then piloted in the authoring teachers’ own classroom. Following any revisions made by the author, each lesson is then sent out to five other volunteer teachers for a “blind review”. A written evaluation of the lesson provided on a standardized review form is sent to the outside psychomatrician to assess the usefulness. In addition, student work created as a result of the lessons taught in the field-tests will begin to be collected starting in the fall of 2001. Standardized Testing of Student Learning Standardized tests of student learning at grades 5, 8, and 11 are under development. The testing instrument has been designed by the teachers, and the initial questions have been drafted. During the next two years the standardized tests will be developed according to educational testing industry standards. This will allow a teacher to compare their students’ work with others across the nation. To assure the initial validity of the tests, 20 school buildings (5 per grade level: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) are being recruited. These pilot schools are committing to teaching the lessons at each grade level over a period of time. This provides the opportunity to assess the articulation of the lessons from grade to grade, and to review the student retention of the philanthropy material. The piloting phase is beginning in January 2001. Independent Outside Evaluation The Initiative is being evaluated on three year cycles (1997-2000 and 2000-2003) by a team from Michigan State University. The evaluation utilizes multiple strategies that provide for inter-rater reliability comparisons on issues of judgement/opinion. The team members and strategies are: Dr. Diane Zimmerman, University Outreach, Stakeholder Interviews: the first interviews of expectations were completed in 1998. The second round of interviews will occur in 2001. Dr. Brian Silver, Public Policy Research: survey research of participating teachers. The surveys are completed as a baseline when the teacher enters their first summer professional development institute, and then are repeated bi-annually. Dr. Mark Wilson, Geography and Economics Professor: quarterly reflective journals on specific research questions from the teachers involved. �Dr. Robert Floden, College of Education: analysis and evaluation of student generated work (K-12) from the pilot schools, and field-test teachers, this will include video-taping of student projects. In addition there is an option for onsite observation of the teaching of some of the lessons in the pilot school classrooms. Dr. Thomas Hirsch (independent consultant and psychomatrician): pilot site teacher evaluations of student achievement and articulation between grade levels. Outcomes Staff of the Initiative report on the “countables” related to outcomes and products. These numbers are reported by function to the Steering Committee two times per year. The number of units and lessons Number of benchmarks that have a sample lesson Number of social studies and English language arts benchmarks covered by a lesson Number and topic of briefing papers Number of hits on the website Number of teachers, types of teachers, attending the summer institutes Number of teacher meetings Any new publications etc. Impact Journals, survey instruments, teacher meetings, and field-test forms are all used as avenues to collect teacher observations on the impact of the lessons on the students. Since the Initiative is only three years old, and the initial lessons have only been online for two years, its difficult to measure whether this K-12 oriented education will have a long term impact on civil society two decades hence. As secondary measurements, the evaluation team is considering a survey form that asks high school juniors and seniors about their future intent to become involved in their community. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As Phil explained, the program is a joint effort of the Council of Michigan Foundations and a consortium of non-profit organizations, governmental agencies and businesses. I serve as a member of the project Steering Committee and am writing on behalf of our committee chair, Russell Mawby, who currently is traveling out of state. To date the project has received its major funding from twelve different sources—including the W.K. Kellogg, Ford, and Ewing Marion Kaufmann Foundations, and the Lilly Endowment. The project is now at a point where it needs to seek additional foundation and corporate support to allow it to move from its research and design phase into a nationally available program. A very important step in building a successful funding strategy—particularly in approaching potential corporate givers—is to have the support and endorsement of major national education organizations such as the Social Science Education Consortium. It would be immensely helpful to the success of our funding strategy and the project if we could receive the endorsement of the Social Science Education Consortium. I hope that you will be able to respond positively to our request. I have enclosed a suggested letter of endorsement for your consideration. Please feel free to use it, adapt it in the way that you see fit or, of course, develop your own letter. I also have included an overview of the Learning to Give project and a listing of the members of the Steering Committee. Phil Kearney would be happy to provide any additional information that might be helpful. You can reach Phil directly by telephone at 734-662-4637 or by e-mail at philipk@umich.edu.

The project’s goal of providing young people with a program to teach them the historic role and intrinsic value of America’ independent, not-for-profit sector and the importance of philanthropy—giving of one’ wealth, time and talent for the common good—is most laudable. We are impressed with the breadth and depth of diverse experiences represented in the Project Steering Committee, and the progress that the project has made to date. We also are gratified to see that the major work of the project, developing a full array of lesson plans over the K-12 spectrum and the field testing of those lesson plans, involves practicing classroom teachers. An important future step will be realization of the project’s goal of making the lesson plans available free of charge to other teachers. We wish you success in your efforts to seek corporate support to that end.

With major funding from the W.K. Kellogg, Ford and Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundations, the Lilly Endowment and anonymous donors, CMF created “Learning to Give” as a voluntary K-12 education in philanthropy initiative. Quietly and with little fanfare the project has been developed with the help of K-12 classroom teachers and field-tested throughout the nation. So far, more than 550 lesson plans have been written by teachers working on a volunteer basis. The initiative represents a significant advancement beyond existing service-learning programs and social science curriculum already in public schools. It includes wideranging content about the independent sector previously missing from the servicelearning movement and the core K-12 academic curriculum. The initiative’s subject matter is interwoven with history, geography, government and economics. But more is involved. Without the Initiative, students might never be directly exposed to the role of volunteers in building a civil society–-or even why having a civil society is important. Students in the Learning to Give Initiative learn not only how to give of their time and talent, but also the past, present and future importance of participating in the common good. Importantly, the Initiative has embraced the latest in Internet technology to expand and reach our nation’s teachers, students, family and volunteers. Through its website (www.Learningtogive.org), teachers across the nation, free of charge, can access and then directly download the Project curriculum, lessons and resource materials. The Initiative has been guided in its initial phase by a volunteer steering committee. While incubated in Michigan, the initiative has ensured that its steering committee members bring important national perspectives in their areas of expertise. Committee members include individuals from national and regional foundations, national and state councils for social studies, national and regional business interests and corporations, classroom teachers and administrators, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, the Michigan State Board and Department of Education, and faculty from centers on philanthropy at Indiana University, Grand Valley State University (Michigan), Case Western Reserve University and the University of Missouri in Kansas City.

Mawby Chairman Emeritus W.K. Kellogg Foundation C/O The Learning to Give Program 630 Harvey Street Muskegon, MI 49442-2398 Dear Dr. Mawby: Educators for Social Responsibility is pleased to offer its endorsement of the Learning to Give project. The project’s goal of providing young people with a program to teach them the historic role and intrinsic value of America’ independent, not-for-profit sector and the importance of philanthropy—giving of one’ wealth, time and talent for the common good—is most laudable. We are impressed with the breadth and depth of diverse experiences represented in the Project Steering Committee, and the progress that the project has made to date. We also are gratified to see that the major work of the project, developing a full array of lesson plans over the K-12 spectrum and the field testing of those lesson plans, involves practicing classroom teachers. An important future step will be realization of the project’s goal of making the lesson plans available free of charge to other teachers. We wish you success in your efforts to seek corporate support to that end.

Quiqley Executive Director Center for Civic Education 5146 Douglas Fir Road Calabasas, CA 91302 Dear Mr. Quiqley I am writing to follow-up on the recent telephone conversation Phil Kearney had with you about the Learning to Give program and our request for the Center for Civic Education endorsement of the effort. As Phil explained, the program is a joint effort of the Council of Michigan Foundations and a consortium of non-profit organizations, governmental agencies and businesses. To date the project has received its major funding from twelve different sources—including the W.K. Kellogg, Ford, and Ewing Marion Kaufmann Foundations, and the Lilly Endowment. The project is now at a point where it needs to seek additional foundation and corporate support to allow it to move from its research and design phase into a nationally available program. A very important step in building a successful funding strategy—particularly in approaching potential corporate givers—is to have the support and endorsement of major national education organizations such as the Center for Civic Education. It would be immensely helpful to the success of our funding strategy and the project if we could receive the endorsement of the Center for Civic Education. I hope that you will be able to respond positively to our request. I have enclosed a suggested letter of endorsement for your consideration. Please feel free to use it, adapt it in the way that you see fit or, of course, develop your own letter. I also have included an overview of the Learning to Give project and a listing of the members of the Steering Committee. Phil Kearney would be happy to provide any additional information that might be helpful. You can reach Phil directly by telephone at 734-662-4637 or by e-mail at philipk@umich.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Russell G. Mawby Chair, Learning to Give cc: Philip Kearney Robert S.

Phillip Kearney 3759 Bridle Pass Court Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108 Dear Dr. Kearney: Thank-you for taking my call during your vacation time out west. I trust you have had a wonderful visit with your family and a safe return home to Ann Arbor. As we discussed on the phone, enclosed are materials describing the Council of Michigan Foundations’ sponsored K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project. In addition, you may wish to visit our Web site, www.k12edphil.org which contains the first set of over 100 K-12 lessons on giving and serving, and an array of teacher support materials on philanthropy education. Now in our fourth year, we are planning the process for scaling the Project to a national audience, and to seek national corporate sponsorship with a multi-year commitment. A major element for our potential success in attracting corporate sponsors will be the formal written endorsement of the Project by key professional educational organizations. We need your help. We have waited to seek endorsements until after the creation of the learning objectives and some sample lesson plans in order to allow educators tangible products to assess the content and value of the Project. The work is now far enough along that we can speak with some confidence about what is being taught, how it is being taught, how students are reacting to the material, and the overwhelming acceptance and enthusiasm from teachers and schools. Jim Kelly, Adrian Davis, and Dottie Johnson are members of the Steering Committee and have been key leaders since the Project’s inception. You should feel free to contact them regarding their perspective on this effort. The other Steering Committee members are listed in the first newsletter (enclosed). The Committee is a balanced group of foundation/nonprofit leaders, educators from various levels of public and private education, and other interested organizations. I am sure you will be familiar with other names as you peruse the list. Please call me at your earliest convenience. I would be happy to meet you personally, or to discuss by telephone how we might move forward. Sincerely, Kathryn Ann Agard, Ed.D. Executive Director Enclosure BCC: James A. Kelly Dorothy A.

(Evelyn-geography, economics: New staff-history, government). Lesson Assistant: entry-level position for an educator to assist Barbara in coaching the teachers in writing lessons. This could be a teacher-in-residence where a teacher would come to work with us for a year and then go back to the classroom (that would increase the costs since the benefit package is 30% more) Pilot Rep: part-time position for a retired, experience teacher to represent the Project in the State of Michigan in securing pilot schools that will teach the lessons K-12. This is the basis for the development of the standardized assessment, and will also provide us with demonstration sites where the lessons are being taught at every grade level. �Four Regional Consultants: full-time professionals responsible for working with state coalition development and support. New national staff members Four PT lesson writers: part-time position for four retired teachers to write specific lessons required by the Project. One teacher at each grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12). Consultants These are the consultants currently working for the Project, and those proposed. There are considerable holes in the numbers and they will add substantially to the bottom line. Assessment-Dr. Tom Hirsch: Tom is a psychomatrician with responsibility for developing assessments within the lesson plans/units and standardized assessment tests at grades 5, 8, and 11. The tests will meet national testing industry standards for development. There will be two tests printed at each grade level. Service-learning: the Project has a contract with the Michigan Department of Education to provide servicelearning technical assistance to schools in Michigan. This could be dropped. It is now fully funded. Content Research: Luana works from home in researching and writing original materials on K-12 philanthropy education. Newsletter: Gretchen writes the newsletter. Publications: Jim is interested in working as a Project representative placing stories in the national educational-and philanthropic media. He can also assist with publications. National PR: Doug Monroe-assistance in obtaining national public relations support through the general media and in support of the sponsors. Textbooks: Dr. Joe Stoltman is working with us on writing a high school level textbook, CD-Rom, and materials for the website. We would then take this and “write down” for a similar textbook at the other three grade bands. This is partially funded. Endorsements: This is consultation to obtain formal endorsements from national educational organizations Business development: Ed Legal: Mike Sponsorship/funding: Lynn Web-site development: I am unsure of the number of staff, the type of staff, or the costs involved. This area needs the most work. Student lessons: this would be working with Gary Rowe on the process of student’s developing their own lessons and video materials. Professional development online: Sandy Evaluation: our foundation funders require formal outside evaluation. The MSU team is contracted to work with us for three years. This is fully funded. Team of five PhD’s, one grad student, and one assistant. Summer Lesson Writers: this is to pay 32 classroom teachers (8 at each grade level) to write two units during the summer time to add to the lesson pool. �Office Supplies/Telephone/Equipment This is as it sounds. If we continue to work out of the Muskegon Intermediate School District offices we have extremely beneficial rates on telephone, access to technology (like large scale copying/binding machines), and technology support. If we cannot stay at the ISD, our costs will be much higher. If we move from Muskegon (or any small town) to a major city, our costs will be much higher. Equipment is for additional office equipment and computers for new staff. Curriculum National Content Advisors: This is 10 high profile philanthropic scholars as advisors on the content meeting one time per year. The cost is a $1,000 honorarium and travel/meeting expenses. Fairness: this is a committee that meets several times a year to review materials and lessons to assure cultural fairness. Field-testing: this is sending original lessons out for field-testing (each lesson is taught by 5-7 other classroom teachers and independently evaluated.) We pay the field-test teacher $50-100 for the testing, depending on the size and complexity of the lesson/unit. Also, there are considerable copying and mailing costs. Lesson publication: this is simple copying and comb binding of the lessons. We sell them for cost + shipping. Briefing papers: these are original 2-3 page papers on the philanthropy content ideas. Teachers can use these as “cliff notes” on a complex topic. They are about concepts (civil society), people (Jane Adams), or organizations (Red Cross). We pay graduate students $50 per paper. Publication is simple copying and comb binding. Assessment questions: this is to pay for the final writing of the assessment questions for the last to philanthropy strands-the first two strands are completed. Pilot schools: this pays for substitute teachers during inservice training, and small expenses for schools that volunteer to be pilot schools. Piloting of the tests: once the assessment tests are assembled, they need to be piloted in selected schools. This pays a small stipend for their involvement as well as lay-out and publication, etc. Field-testing tests: once the tests have been piloted they then need to be field-tested in schools across the country. This includes lay-out, printing, mailing back and forth. Publishing tests: once completed the tests will be published in booklets (two tests per grade level 5, 8, 11) as a way of providing standardized assessment of student learning. Range finding: this is a meeting in order to determine what constitutes passing at (a,b,c,d) on the tests Summer writing meetings: this covers the cost of the summer teachers writing new lessons for the project. It covers food, travel, meeting space for 8 weeks etc. Library resources: technical resources to support the lesson writers and staff. Professional Development National teacher conference: this is a once a year conference for teachers from across the country who are committed to teaching the lessons and belong to the Philanthropy Education Network. �Classroom support materials: this is publication of support materials: bookmarks on philanthropists, posters, manipulatives. Textbooks: this is the cost for development of the textbooks (without publication costs): writers, research, CD-Rom, preparation for the web-site. Briefing papers: this is for publishing the briefing papers. Website Questions here regarding-one website or three, what the costs will be etc. MSU-we currently have a contract with MSU to put the lessons on the web through December 2000 Novagate-we currently have the web-site on this internet platform Publicity Newsletter: we currently do 2 newsletters per year at approximately $15,000 per newsletter without postage. We would like to go to 3 newsletters and expand the reach. Conference presentations: this is mainly for travel expenses to national educational conference for presentations about the project ClubPhil buses: this is to purchase and outfit/staff two traveling busses to cross the country promoting philanthropy education. Collateral materials: mugs, t-shirts, tote bags, magnets and other promotional items. State Coalitions These are funds to support the development of state based coalitions. There will be ten-fifteen states added each year. Travel-this is for the regional rep’s to travel to meetings to establish the coalitions/includes cost of the first meetings Summer orientations-this is for the Project to pay 100% for the first summer orientation for teachers (10 states) and to pay for 50% as a challenge for the second summer orientation, and then the cost will be picked up by local coalitions. Teacher meetings- this supports meetings of the teachers in a state, two times per year in the first year, and then to be picked up by state coalitions Two year state coordinator-this covers the cost of paying for the state coordinator salary for two years ($30,000 per year per state). This allows the state coalition to hire someone (probably buy-out a university faculty member’s time, or a retired teacher as a consultant) while raising the money for long-term support. Year 1: ten states @ 30,000 $300,000 Year 2: ten new states + second year on Year 1 states etc. Coalition Directions This pays for the writing and preparation for the website of directions for the coalition partners on how to start and build a coalition for philanthropy education at the state level. Regional Offices These are estimated costs to support the regional directors-assuming a “base” in a university or other major institutional setting that will provide basic support (copy machines, technical support etc). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson, President Russell G. Mawby, Steering Committee Chair James Kelly, Steering Committee Member FROM: Kathy Agard, Project Director RE: Fund-Raising Discussion Budgets Attached are overview budgets concerning our current financial situation with the K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project. There are 5 documents: A. The original five year expenditure budget compared to the current three year income (Deficit starting in year one: total gap $3,847,288) B. The original first three year expenditure budget compared to the current three year income (Deficit starting in year one: total gap $2,237,166) C. What it would take in program and staffing changes to balance the project to the grant income (Deficit starting in mid-year two: requires major program and staffing adjustments)* D. How far we could go, assuming the current cuts in plans, before running out of money (Deficit starting in mid-year two, funds depleted about summer 1999)* E. A revision of what a solid new five year budget would look like based on what we would now like to do (Total budget: $4.2 million, $1 million less than the original five year budget). These two scenarios assume that none of the cuts already made in the project are reinstated and that the project will be completed at the absolute minimum of quality.
