PDK Educational Foundation annual report
2014 -2015 PDK Educational Foundation AnnuAlREpoRt PDK/Gallup Poll of the Public’s Attitudes Toward the Public Schools Highly respected and widely followed by the media, the PDK/Gallup Poll of the Public’s Attitudes Toward the Public Schools is a trustworthy resource for families, education professionals, researchers, and policy makers. By asking the key questions and employing cutting-edge polling science, the poll delivers information crucial to multiple audiences. PDK’s partner for the past 47 years is Gallup, the foremost name in polling in America and around the world. The poll is a scientifically-based survey of more than 3,499 Americans,18 years and older. This year, we learned that 64% of Americans and a similar proportion of public school parents believe there is too much emphasis on standardized testing in public schools in their community. Americans are split on whether parents should be allowed to excuse their child from taking one or more standardized tests (41% said yes, 44% said no). However, a majority of public school parents said they would not excuse their own child from taking a standardized test. The PDK/Gallup poll is financed solely by the Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation, which allows PDK to offer an independent and unbiased report of American public opinion of its public schools. Of course, the PDK Educational Foundation is able to continue this work because of your generous support. AnnuAl REpoRt 2014 –2015 phiDeltaKappaEducationalFoundation Remember the feeling you experienced when you did something you knew would make a difference in another person’s life? Remember how you felt when you knew you contributed to something significant? Find that feeling again by joining us in supporting the PDK Educational Foundation, which also includes the Pi Lambda Theta Educational Endowment. The PDK Educational Foundation Board of Governors is dedicated to using funds donated by Kappans worldwide in exactly the ways you, our donors, intended by supporting and improving public education. The board is equally committed to ensuring that contributions from Thetans support long-standing PLT initiatives. We take our financial responsibility to our foundation donors seriously and always willingly share information about our annual expenditures. We appreciate the spirit of giving that our Kappan and Thetan families share and are grateful for their commitment to supporting education initiatives that make our world a better place.

Fogarty, Jr. Director of Development Terri Lawson Assistant Director for Development and Publications 2 cEntERonEDucAtIonpolIcy The Center on Education Policy (CEP) operates as an independent center housed at the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Education and Human Development. As CEP’s executive director, Maria Ferguson continues the center’s important research, much of it currently focused on implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The center’s research also assists education policymakers, particularly in Washington, D.C., and at state education agencies, to make more informed decisions about education initiatives. Maria Ferguson Maria also authors a monthly column in Kappan magazine entitled “Washington View,” providing readers an understanding of Washington, D.C., policy decisions and their implications for educators across the U.S. The PDK Foundation Board of Governors affirms its continuing commitment to support the center’s important work. Pi Lambda Theta Pi Lambda Theta, a member of the PDK International family of associations, is the premier honor society in education. For more than 100 years, membership in Pi Lambda Theta has represented academic excellence and commitment to the field … a tradition that continues today. Through the generous contributions from Thetans around the world, Pi Lambda Theta is able to provide support and inspiration to aspiring educators on their journey into the classroom. Every year, your contributions to the Pi Lambda Theta Endowment directly support thousands of preservice teachers through programs and opportunities that allow them to develop their teaching craft and engage in a community of like-minded individuals. Your contributions also provide much needed scholarships and grants. In fact, due to your generosity, Pi Lambda Theta increased the amount it provides in Student Support scholarships by more than $50,000 this year. 3 Pi Lambda Theta (continued) “Thetans are so generous. The impact they are making in young people’s lives is powerful. They are showing aspiring teachers what it means to strive for excellence and to give back. It’s inspiring.” –Ashley Kincaid, Executive Director, Pi Lambda Theta Thank you for your gifts. We hope you will continue to support young Thetans through the Pi Lambda Theta Endowment. “I teach because I love watching young minds grow and discover new things around them.” Kevin A. Hans Recipient – PLT Student Support Scholarship and Janyce Yoshizawa Excellence in Classroom Teaching Award Educators Rising “The Future Educators Association opened up the possibility of teaching to me.” –Ocey Holland, FEA National Student Past-President, University of Louisville Class of 2018 The Future Educators Association® (FEA), a member of the PDK International family of associations, experienced record-breaking growth in 2014-2015 and laid the groundwork for its 2015 evolution and rebranding to Educators Rising. Since over 60% of teachers teach within 20 miles of where they went to high school, every community can benefit from a strong grow-your-own pipeline program, and that is exactly what FEA provides. 4 Educators Rising (continued) “Our national network is all about giving young people a truly authentic experience in trying out teaching.” –Dan Brown, Co-Director, Educators Rising, National Board Certified Teacher Growth and Impact in 2014-2015 • In 2014-2015, FEA membership grew to 14,518 members, a 37% increase over the previous year. The number of FEA chapters grew 37%, with 777 participating schools at the close of the year. • FEA increased its commitment to diversity. While the national teaching force is 17% non-white, in 2013-2014, FEA’s student membership was 30% non-white, and in 2014-2015, that percentage increased to 40%. • In 2014-2015, FEA Honor Society increased to 1,244 students, a 32% increase over the previous year, and a 64% increase over the same time two years ago. A Rising Future • FEA re-launched as Educators Rising on Aug. 3, 2015. The new organization builds on the strengths of FEA, while adding significantly more support for students and teacher leaders. The network is now free to join and features the EdRising Virtual Campus, an online platform full of content, connections, and micro-credentialing opportunities for our rising educators. • Educators Rising is attracting partners in the field. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has agreed to share with Educators Rising members—at no cost—a subset of its ATLAS cases, authentic videos showing National Board Certified Teachers at work in the classroom. Educators Rising has also cultivated new state affiliate programs in New Mexico, New York, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. Please join us in celebrating the power and the promise of Educators Rising by donating through the PDK Educational Foundation or by funding a scholarship for a deserving student. 5 2015 Scholarships and Awards ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS Joseph H.
