DaVita, a Values Champion for DPS!

Denver Public Schools Foundation
Annual Report 2013 /14
www.dpsfoundation.org
Dear Valued Supporter,
Think about your vision for Denver in 2020. What do you hope for our great city? A vibrant community?
A thriving economy? A rich culture of arts and intellectual exchange? Denver Public Schools plays a vital
role in ensuring these elements are pillars of our community, now and long into the future.
By investing in our students today, you are among a group of visionary community leaders who are
building the future for our city. For that, we thank you.
Our schools are at a tipping point and your help is making a tremendous difference. In the last six years,
DPS drove the highest rate of student progress of any major district in the state, increased the graduation
rate by 23 percentage points and cut its dropout rate in half.
But it’s not enough. Stark achievement gaps persist in our schools. Only 60 percent of our third grade students
are reading at or above grade level. One in three of our ninth graders is not graduating within four years.
The DPS Foundation exists to help DPS close these gaps and prepare every child for success in college
and career. Our mission is to provide the resources and support our educators need to offer the same
opportunities for success to EVERY child. With your help, we can and will eliminate the opportunity gaps.
DPS has shared their vision for success in 2020, as detailed in the Denver Plan
(visit denverplan.dpsk12.org to read it in full):
– 80 percent of our students will be at or above grade level in reading and writing;
– 80 percent of our students will attend a high-performing school; and
– We will double the number of high school seniors who graduate college and career ready.
Mission
Vision
In partnership with Denver Public Schools, we raise
and manage funds, make strategic program investments,
and serve as community leaders so that all students
have the opportunity to succeed.
How will DPS get there? By investing more in what’s working and embracing innovation, we can dramatically
accelerate the progress DPS has already made. By providing a 21st century education, we will empower
our students to graduate from high school prepared to thrive in college, career and life. Together, we can
reach our ultimate goal and achieve our vision: Every Child Succeeds. In doing so, we create a better
Denver for generations to come. Our students – our city – cannot wait. YOU are an integral part of this
transformation. We need the engagement of every person in the community to truly change the course of
education for our kids. We are all DPS.
Enclosed, please read more about the impact of your support.
Thank you for your partnership.
In Denver Public Schools, outstanding educational
achievements are the norm and all children
have hope of a great future.

It is imperative that we close the opportunity gap and help ALL children become
strong readers. With your help, we’re doing just that. Thanks to your support in
the past year, the DPS Foundation has funded a number of highly effective
literacy strategies. Consider the impact of your support:
First grade students enrolled in the
Each One Teach One literacy program
are 2.6 times more likely to read at
grade level compared to their peers.
More than 15,000 books were sent home
with students through book drives, in-kind
donations and literacy projects. These books
help children extend their learning into their
home and engage their families and
siblings in reading.
Intensive literacy instruction is available
to students in Spanish, strengthening
their reading skills in their native
language and allowing them to build
upon their literacy foundation to read
and write better in English.
Volunteers from the community
have spent 5,000 hours reading
with students one-on-one,
increasing students’ confidence
in literacy.

“Our DPS”–
Values, Culture,
Leadership
Components of “Our DPS” include:
• A set of Shared Core Values– established by
DPS educators district-wide
• An annual event to reground in our values and make our commitments for the year ahead
• Values and leadership-based professional
development opportunities; recognition events;
and a district-wide employee engagement
and feedback survey
Early indicators of progress include:
• Teams that report a strong culture of shared
values have higher student growth rates
• Individuals who participate in leadership
programs commit to staying in DPS longer than
the average tenure
• Teams with staff who have attended leadership programs are more positive about the direction
of the district and see their role as important
in accomplishing our shared vision
Great teachers and transformational school leaders are essential to achieving
our goal of seeing Every Child Succeed. Research has consistently shown the
positive impact of employee engagement on an organization’s ability to meet
their goals. In education, where the stakes are so high and the work is so
challenging, this initiative is even more critical.
Every Child Succeeds!

DONOR
SPOTLIGHT
DaVita has been a thought partner and a funder for DPS’ Values-Based Leadership program
since it launched in 2011. Thank you DaVita for helping the district launch this vitally
important work. To read more of the DaVita story of support, please turn to page 29.
Educators are mission driven. They care about their students. And this work is not easy. Creating a culture that
actively celebrates our Shared Core Values enables teachers and school leaders to connect with the very things
that brought them to this challenging and rewarding profession in the first place.
With your help, DPS has made an intentional investment in our people and our culture. Our educators’ work in our
classrooms today is shaping the generation that will lead us tomorrow. These investments are transformational.
DPS is building this environment by providing the roadmap, resources and professional development opportunities
to map all of our work, every day, to the mission and Shared Core Values that bind us.

Students engaged in a CTE education
pathway have up to a 30 percent
greater likelihood of graduating
high school than their counterparts.
Denver Public Schools has set out on an ambitious path to dramatically improve how
we’re preparing students for college and career. By implementing a pipeline of Career
and Technical Education (CTE) pathways, DPS is preparing our future leaders for the
very jobs that are in highest demand in Denver – ensuring that we are strengthening
our city and our students’ futures.
In April 2014, DPS was chosen as one of 24
organizations nationwide to receive a four-year $7
million Department of Labor grant to expand and
enhance career-focused pathways in STEM. Thanks
to community support, the DPS Foundation leveraged
an additional $2.4 million in private resources and
support required to secure the grant.
Starting in the 2014-15 school year, in partnership with
the City of Denver, the Office of Economic Development,
two and four year colleges and universities, and
corporate and industry partners, DPS has launched
8
four new curriculum pathways focused on STEM-related
careers in DPS high schools, and will launch a fifth
in 2015–16.
Real world applications
Pathways courses all involve work-based learning
such as job shadowing, internships and site visits.
These experiences continually expose students to
applications for their learning and skills in industry
and higher education.
Focused and engaged students
Students enrolled in CTE pathways are far more likely
to complete their studies and graduate from high school;
and are far more likely to become the future leaders
we need to help Denver thrive.
DPS CTE Pathways:
• Engineering & Energy
• Biomedical & Healthcare
• Applied Manufacturing
• Digital & IT
• Finance
What makes CTE Pathways
so successful?
A clear sight line to the future
CTE students’ studies are tied at every step to the
opportunities that will be available to them after
graduation – whether it’s higher education and graduate
work, or immediate employment and a successful career.
Denver is leading the nation in this work, and creating
a pipeline of talent specifically and strategically built to
serve our city – and our nation – now and in the future.
Thank you for being part of this work.

Overall Direct Impact
THANK YOU to our 52 active partners
in 2013-14 who contributed:
• Over $500,000 in direct financial and
in-kind support to schools
• More than 9,000 volunteer hours
Impact on Students

• One-on-one academic support
• Learning about career opportunities and seeing
the path to success personified

The School Partners Program creates meaningful partnerships between
Denver’s community and Denver Public Schools. Through this unique program,
local businesses and community organizations (large and small) team up with
specific DPS schools to contribute to the success of every DPS student.
Impact on Volunteers
• Contributing to the success of students and schools

This relationship is important because it’s personal. My husband and I have been tutoring the same student for three
years now. While we believe there is certainly an academic impact to our time together, it’s even more important to us
to have that relationship where he sees a reliable adult showing up, being interested in him and cheering him on as
a positive role model. We’re in this for the long haul; we intend to see Cesar go to college. I hope we’re making a
difference in his life; he’s certainly made a huge difference in ours. We feel so fortunate that this type of engagement
is not only made possible by, but is truly supported by our firm.

DPS Foundation’s Achieve Gala
provides critical support for
Denver Public Schools.
2014 Achieve Gala Keynote Student Speaker:
Over $860,000 raised
from generous sponsors
and individuals!
I’ve spent my entire life in DPS schools, learning from DPS teachers and coaches.
Thanks to their support, I’m attending college with a full-ride scholarship, on track
to earn my PhD and become the first doctor in my family. My education in DPS was
enriched with after-school programs, arts courses, sports, field trips, and so much
more. Many of these things, which shaped my life, are possible in our schools
because of private funding. You gave me the opportunities to succeed, at every
step, from kindergarten until my graduation day.

QEP Resources, a STEM Champion for DPS!
At QEP, we recognize the importance of investing in the community. STEM
fields have such tremendous opportunities for our young people. Even if a
student’s interests are outside STEM fields, there is a technical basis for
what we do today that translates across so many industries.
I often reflect back to when I was exposed to engineering. I remember
thinking to myself, ‘so what does an engineer do all day?’ We really value
the opportunity to support not just the curriculum, but also to bring
students into the field to see what it means to operate a well, to operate
a plant. I see these strategies as core to keeping students motivated,
because they have an understanding of how their fundamental classes
and lessons will apply in the field.
DPS is truly leading in this field through their vision and leadership. We are
humbled to be a part of something so extremely large and transformational.
– Randy Judge, VP of Production, QEP Resources.
QEP provided the first major gift which enabled the expansion of DPS’ CTE
vision, and ultimately helped secure a $7 million Department of Labor Grant
(detailed on page 9). We’re so grateful for the vision of those who see great
things before they’ve even taken full shape. Thank you, QEP. Read more of
the QEP story of support at www.dpsfoundation.org/supportstories.

SPOTLIGHT
DaVita, a Values Champion for DPS!
I think there’s amazing potential in our Partnership. This would be one
incredibly clear example of a company taking the skills that it has and
applying them in a sustained, thoughtful partnership to a not-for-profit,
and in so doing, reinvigorating their own intellectual thinking. For me,
this is like a dream, because I’m harnessing my village in another way
to do good, and it harnesses what we’re best at.
– Kent Thiry, Chairman & CEO, DaVita
At DaVita, we believe that happier people working together collaboratively give better care to our patients.
When we started looking at ways we could give back right here in Denver, where our world headquarters are
based, we realized that teachers and nurses aren’t so different after all; they are driven by an inner desire to serve.
Our values-based leadership and culture work has made a huge difference at DaVita. We find that we have better
retention and better job satisfaction.
So we partnered with DPS to share some of the lessons we’ve learned after years of doing this work. They took it
from there. DPS has created something so unique and singular to their culture and values. We’ve been honored to
partner with DPS in launching this work without reinventing the wheel. We applaud the educators in DPS for their
innovation and focus in this area.
– Jo Rude, Director of Wisdom, Operations, DaVita
DaVita has been a thought partner and funder for DPS’ values-based leadership program since it launched in
2012. Thank you DaVita, for helping the district launch this vitally important work, detailed on page 6. To

Mary Brauer, a Champion for DPS!
The idea that a public school system can run just on taxpayer money –
it’s just not possible. We have to do more than that. Taxes are mandatory;
private support for schools is a commitment to our community. If you’re going
to be part of the community in Denver, DPS is absolutely an institution you
need to be involved with. One of my greatest joys is going to visit a school
to see the program I am investing in. When I see the faces of the children
light up as they come through the door for their afterschool activities of
fitness, learning and a hot meal – there is no doubt my contribution is
being used to make a real difference. The staff is also incredibly inspiring.
Whether it’s the cook who says these students are like her own kids, or the
supervisor who makes a donation to support the program out of her own
paycheck, seeing this program and its committed providers firsthand really
connects me to the impact of my gift.
Mary Brauer is a longtime supporter and a champion for DPS after-school
programs, recently joining our major giving initiative, the Society for
Educational Excellence in Denver (SEED). Read more of Mary Brauer’s
story of support at www.dpsfoundation.org/supportstories.
