Mission/Vision Statement Stokes School’s mission is as follows: The Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School prepares 350 culturally diverse elementary school students in the District of Columbia to be leaders, scholars and responsible citizens who are committed to social justice. Stokes teaches children to think, speak, read, write and learn in two languages: English and French or English and Spanish. With a dual focus on academic excellence and community service, the Stokes School accomplishes its mission by creating an environment of achievement, respect and non-violence. B. School Program Summary of Curriculum Design and Instructional Approach The Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School maintains a nurturing environment where culturally diverse faculty and staff model compassion, fairness, service to others, enthusiasm for learning, and the capacity to contribute to and thrive within a community setting. In our work with students, Stokes School prepares young learners to challenge national and international academic standards, to navigate successfully within their own communities and within the cultures of others, and to function as responsible citizens and leaders. The Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School is committed to excellence in all areas. Our rigor, high standards, and inquirybased curriculum broaden scholars’ world-view and develop higher order thinking skills. We recently adopted Investigations Mathematics and Units of Study in Writing in order to begin a process of tightening the alignment of instruction vertically across the school. Both of these curricula allow for multiple access points to concepts and skills, allowing for student choice, inquiry and maximizing opportunities for student growth. Teachers strive to help all students achieve at their highest capacity and develop a passion for learning. Teachers aim to accommodate individual needs and differentiate instruction for all the various learning styles and abilities and to capitalize on students’ strengths. A key factor in creating the best learning environment for students is team teaching with small class sizes and a learning specialist assigned Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 3 to each grade level. Providers of special education and related services most often deliver those services to small groups within classrooms. Our Curriculum is thematic and unit-based, following the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and Language Arts, the DC Standards for Social Studies and Physical Education, and we have transitioned to the Next Generation Science Standards. We follow national standards in Art and Music. Scholars learn all content areas in both French and English or Spanish and English. In Pre-K, we currently follow the Creative Curriculum which emphasizes developmentally appropriate learning through play for our youngest scholars. In K through 5 th grade, we currently use an approach of Balanced Literacy to teach the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Language Arts, including Writer’s Workshop in all languages and Words their Way for word study. Our K-5 mathematics curriculum is called Investigations, where students develop deep conceptual understanding of the CCSS and engage in the CCSS Mathematical Practices. We continue to draw upon the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the DC Standards of Teaching and Learning for Social Studies for K-5th grade. Topics are explored in depth through trimester themes so that students find meaning from their own experiences. Instruction occurs via multiple modalities using mini-lessons, guided reading, small group projects, cooperative learning, choice boards, and learning centers, often involving technology. Interdisciplinary learning is most often achieved through hands-on projects where students work with manipulative materials, apply skills to problem solving, and learn to communicate the results of their efforts in a variety of formats. Pre-K-5th grade curriculum mapping creates a natural progression of skills that build upon one another over the years. Each thematic unit is celebrated with showcases to share learning with families and the community. Stokes School’s dual language immersion program prepares students to speak, read, write, and think in two languages: English and French, or English and Spanish. Literacy instruction and content instruction are delivered in both languages. Pre-kindergarten students spend 90 percent of their instructional time learning in each language, while kindergarten through sixth grade students spend half of their instructional time in each language. All lessons have both content and language objectives. Scholars at Stokes develop a balanced bilingual ability and are able demonstrate their abilities before graduation on study tours to Martinique and Panama. Family Engagement Parent Involvement Efforts Stokes School recognizes parents as the most important advocates for their children. We provide monthly family information sessions or “Open Classroom” sessions where parents can learn about and see the implementation of curricular programs such as, “Investigations Math” and “Units of Study for Teaching Writing” or learn about out Assessments, for example. Stokes School aims to empower parents with information to support their children succeed. Throughout the year, Stokes School specifically aims to involve our parents within all aspects of our learning community. During our First Day Celebration, parents are invited to participate in our back-toschool parade and we then have a Q&A session for them with the Stokes School's administrators concerning the upcoming school year. Back-to-School Night allows parents to see what it is like to spend a Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 4 day in their children's shoes, as they visit classrooms, sit at their children's desks, and meet their teachers. At the end of each trimester, parents are invited to attend grade level showcases, which are learning showcases led by students. Each trimester, parents also meet with their children's teachers for one-on-one conferences or whole class meetings concerning each student's progress over the past trimester and goals for the next. Since 2012, in collaboration with the Flamboyan Foundation, Stokes School has instituted home visits by teachers at the start of the school year in which parents and teachers discuss expectations, develop a strong relationship and review parent-led goals for their children for the year. We have also adopted a goal-setting and partnership model for parent teacher conferences, either through APTT (Academic Parent Teacher Team) meetings or individual meetings. During these meetings, parents review their children’s progress toward meeting key curricular goals each trimester, set goals for the next trimester and parents learn strategies for supporting and encouraging their children’s academic progress at home. Parents as Leaders Parents play significant roles within the Stokes School community at every level, as volunteers, teachers, administrators, and board members. At Stokes School, we value parents as leaders and seek to involve parents in shaping the direction of our school improvement efforts. In 2013, parents elected to establish a Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Throughout the school year the PTA met monthly to discuss how they can better support the school through fund-raisers and to provide leadership and support for many of the school’s activities and initiatives. Their fund-raising efforts led to a long-desired wish to sound proof the school dining room; an effort that has been appreciated by all parties: students, parents and school staff. We have a Room Parent Coordinator who keeps the classroom Room Parents informed and engaged not only in the classroom but throughout the school building. Each month a different grade level will sponsor ‘First Fridays’ which is a continental breakfast coordinated by the Room Parents for teachers, parents and staff to gather and chat informally before the beginning of the school day. In addition, our parents are asked to participate on school committees such as the school wellness committee and the ELL parent group. Parent Support Stokes School seeks to support parents and families within our community in a variety of ways. All Stokes School parents have access to the Parent Resource Corner, which provides computer access and resources on everything from supporting your child’s education to job hunting. Stokes School offers a Saturday Academy, which provides parents with the opportunity to study another language – French, Spanish, or English – in order to increase their own language skills or to prepare them to help their children with their schoolwork.

Performance and Progress Progress Toward Mission We strive to embody our mission throughout all of our school initiatives both within and outside of the classroom. Our mission guides our school-wide initiatives, school events, family engagement efforts, and improvement plans. The following programs and methodologies show evidence of our constant effort to embody our mission: Community Service Learning: In order to develop “leaders, scholars and responsible citizens who are committed to social justice,” we embed community service learning within trimester projects. Scholars think about how the topic they are learning about matters and what they can do about it within their community (local or global). Project/Inquiry-based instruction: Our method of instruction, which we are continually striving to enhance, is based on student inquiry around a central idea. For example, students learn mathematics through inquiry around problems, games and activities to develop conceptual understanding of a key mathematical concept. Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 6 Student Leadership opportunities: Stokes scholars are invited to take leadership roles within the school such as on our Student Government and they are asked to represent our school in the outside community in multiple ways such as through our school choir, school musical, or Steel Drum Band. Bullying Prevention Program: Our School Psychologist supports classroom teachers with bullying prevention programming within the classroom in order to support students in developing empathy and caring for others. Diversity of staff/families & international focus of instruction: Our faculty and staff represent a diversity of backgrounds in terms of language, ethnicity, country of origin, etc... This allows us to foster respect and appreciation for others within our scholars. In addition, this allows us to integrate an international focus within the classroom and for school wide celebrations, such as Francophonie Month. Dual-Language Immersion Program Development: Our hallmark is our Dual Language Immersion Program. Our scholars learn another language (French, Spanish or English) Through the content that is being taught in the classroom. We approach literacy learning in both languages through a balanced approach in which children learn to read, write, speak and think by writing about what matters to them, reading texts that interest them and are on their level, and integrating discussion in all lessons. Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 7 Progress Toward Goals and Academic Achievement Expectations Stokes School holds itself accountable to a variety of goals, as outlined in our charter. These goals and progress toward these goals are detailed in the following chart: EW Stokes PCS - Goals and Academic Achievement Expectations 1.

Lessons Learned and Actions Taken As a result of our review and analysis of the above data and data from the previous school year, Stokes School focused or will focus on the following programs, areas and activities to enhance the academic program and drive student improvement: Expansion of the Flamboyan Foundation family engagement model to include more on-going communication with families focused on celebrating growth. Implementation of enhanced instructional supports for English Language Learners and increased efforts to engage low-performing ELL students in out-of-school time remedial and enrichment education activities. Through grant funding, we were able to support two part-time instructional support positions and the purchase of a reading intervention program (Leveled Literacy Intervention or LLI) for the 2014-15 school year. We implemented a highly successful reading intervention program and significantly reduced the number of students reading below grade level. Given that we did not meet our Target Language learning goal above, (as measured by the DELE/DELF results) we have hired a language immersion expert consultant to help us improve our balanced literacy program in the Target Language and to address the varying Target Language abilities within our classrooms at each grade level. In addition, we are aligning our Target Language reading assessment levels to our English reading assessment levels (Fountas & Pinnell) in order to better align our ability to measure growth and adjust instruction accordingly, in both languages. Finally, we will be amending our charter to include a different assessment to measure target language development (STAMP) to an assessment that will allow us to measure growth and is aligned to national ACTFL language learning standards, and which will provide a more multifaceted view of student’s language skills. Given that we did not meet our goal in the area of science, which was also reflected in our parent survey, Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 10 we are revamping our science program along with a shift towards transdisciplinary curriculum planning. This is further outlined in the next bullet about our transition to PYP/IB. Stokes School is introducing the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) into the school curriculum. Like Stokes, IB schools are places for knowledgeable scholars who care about the world in which they live and who want to learn more about the world’s people. We have successfully completed the candidacy application and are as such, a PYP candidate school. We have started the process of providing professional development to staff and aligning our curriculum to IB/PYP standards. Although the PARCC data was not available at the time of the writing of this report, we recognize that our scholars need some additional work with keyboarding in order to successfully show what they have learned on the standardized assessments. Our 2nd through 5th grade students will use a keyboarding program that also teaches basic technology skills during the 2015-16 School Year. Due to the very successful adoption of our Writer’s Workshop program aligned to the CCSS, we are now piloting the CCSS aligned Reader’s Workshop Units of Study out of Teacher’s College in order to increase the rigor of and align our reading program. Our re-enrollment rate increased significantly this past year, ostensibly because of our participation in DCI (DC International School), which provides a high-quality feeder middle school option for our families and ensured the continuation of language development for our scholar’s families. C. Unique Accomplishments Successful Application for Candidacy as and IB/PYP School. Successful expansion of Pre-K program to include two more classes. We now have a total of four Pre-K classes (two French and two Spanish). Winner of the Elementary School Teacher of the Year from the DCAPCS First class of Stokes School 6th grade graduates finished college. o Colleges include: Drexel, Harvard, Kent State University, Ohio State University and University of Maryland 3rd Grade scholars selected to accompany the US Secretary of the Interior to rock climb at Carderock as a part of the Every Kid in a Park Initiative.
