IRS990/Desc0DIRECT SUPPORT TO SCHOOLS: IN ORDER TO HELP TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS AND ADMINISTRATORS TO EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE OUR LEARNING GAME PACKAGES INTO THEIR CLASSROOM, WE PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING FOR ALL FIRST-TIME USERS OF OUR PROGRAM. BUT WHAT PARTICULARLY SETS US APART IS OUR IN-CLASS FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT-NO MATTER WHERE OUR CUSTOMERS ARE LOCATED. WE OFFER REGULAR ONGOING SUPPORT FOR BOTH TEACHERS AND SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORT PERSONNEL. IN FY 15 WE SUPPORTED 283 TEACHERS. [SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O] RESEARCH SHOWS THAT STUDENTS' ENGAGEMENT AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A SOUND PREDICTOR OF STUDENTS' FUTURE LIVES. WITHOUT STRATEGIC INTERVENTION AND RE-ENGAGING STUDENTS STRUGGLING WITH LITERACY, WE RISK LOSING THEIR INTEREST AND HAVING THEM COMPLETELY FALL BEHIND.EXAMPLES OF OUR DIRECT SUPPORT INCLUDE:-PLANNING WITH ADMINISTRATORS: AS SOON AS A DISTRICT/SCHOOL ACQUIRES OUR PROGRAM, WE WORK EXTENSIVELY WITH ADMINISTRATORS TO ENSURE THAT THEY WILL HAVE THE OPTIMAL EXPERIENCE USING OUR MATERIALS. IN ADDITION, WE PREPARE A CUSTOMIZED CORRELATION OF OUR PROGRAM TO EACH DISTRICT'S STATE OR LOCAL STANDARDS.-INITIAL TRAINING: TEACHERS ATTEND A FULL-DAY SESSION TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM. THIS TRAINING INCLUDES TIME ON THE COMPUTER LEARNING THE SIMULATION SOFTWARE AND AN ORIENTATION TO THE INTEGRATED CURRICULUM, INCLUDING HOW IT ALIGNS TO LOCAL AND STATE STANDARDS. FOR SMALL GROUPS OF TEACHERS NOT LOCATED IN NYC, WE OFTEN CONDUCT TRAININGS VIA WEB CONFERENCING.-ONGOING SUPPORT: ONGOING SUPPORT TAKES A VARIETY OF FORMS AND MIGHT OCCUR AT THE SCHOOL SITE, ON THE PHONE, AND/OR VIA EMAIL. ONE OF OUR HIGHLY-EXPERIENCED STAFF DEVELOPERS IS ASSIGNED TO EACH SCHOOL USING OUR PROGRAM. THAT PERSON IS AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND VALUABLE IMPLEMENTATION IDEAS DURING THE PERIOD THE PROGRAM IS BEING USED. CLASSROOM, INC. ALSO OFFERS ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS, WITH TOPICS INCLUDING DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION, BLENDED LEARNING, RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION AND 21ST CENTURY SKILLS, AMONG OTHERS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT: CLASSROOM, INC. HAS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, "HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY STUDENTS' ACADEMIC SKILLS WHILE ALSO PREPARING THEM TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF TODAY'S WORKFORCE?" OUR LEARNING GAMES REFLECT AUTHENTIC WORKPLACES. THEY HELP YOUNG PEOPLE ACQUIRE CROSS-CURRICULAR COMPETENCIES AS THEY MEET TYPICAL CHALLENGES OF A DAY AT WORK. STUDENTS' DECISION-MAKING CAREER ROLE IS EXTENDED THROUGH A VARIETY OF OTHER ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY APPLY STANDARDS-ALIGNED SKILLS AND EXERCISE THEIR LEADERSHIP ABILITIES. [SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O] OUR PROGRAM HAS ALWAYS STRESSED WORKPLACE READINESS, COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING, THE DEEP COMPREHENSION OF INFORMATIONAL TEXT, AND CONTENT-AREA LITERACY. IT EXEMPLIFIES KEY UNDERPINNINGS OF THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS. VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW CLASSROOM, INC. ADDRESSES STANDARDS IN READING AND WRITING. OUR CURRICULUM MATERIALS INCLUDE TEACHER HANDBOOKS, STUDENT WORKBOOKS AND HANDBOOKS, GAME-BASED LEARNING SET IN REAL-WORLD WORK ENVIRONMENTS, NON-FICTION LIBRARIES, CUSTOMIZED LESSON PLANS, WEBSITE RESOURCES, ASSESSMENT MATERIALS, AND MANIPULATIVE KITS TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR PROGRAMS.WHILE OTHER PROGRAMS STRUGGLE TO ADDRESS THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS), CLASSROOM, INC. IS AHEAD OF THE GAME. WE HAVE ALWAYS EMPHASIZED KEY CCSS OBJECTIVES: ACADEMIC RIGOR, WORKPLACE READINESS, AND COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING. THAT IS WHY CLASSROOM, INC. WAS AWARDED THE COMPETITIVE NEXT GENERATION LEARNING CHALLENGES GRANT BY THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION AND HEWLETT FOUNDATION TO BUILD A NEW MODULE DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE CCSS IN READING. USING FUNDS FROM THIS GRANT, WE DEVELOPED AND TESTED THE LEARNING GAME-THE SPORTS NETWORK 2 (TSN-2). THE SUCCESS OF TSN-2 LED TO CLASSROOM, INC. BEING AWARDED A LITERACY COURSEWARE CHALLENGE GRANT FROM THE GATES FOUNDATION TO DEVELOP DIGITAL LITERACY COURSEWARE DESIGNED TO THE CCSS. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, USING LESSONS FROM TSN-2, WE DEVELOPED AFTER THE STORM AND COMMUNITY IN CRISIS, THE FIRST TWO IN OUR SUITE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL-LEVEL LEARNING GAMES, WHICH FEATURE DEEPER INSTRUCTIONAL FEEDBACK THROUGH TEACHER DASHBOARDS, EMBEDDED ASSESSMENTS THAT GIVE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK, COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS ALIGNMENT TO MIDDLE SCHOOL-LEVEL READING AND WRITING, AN EXCITING NEW LOOK AND FEEL, AND GAMING ELEMENTS STUDENTS KNOW AND LOVE. AFTER THE STORM AND COMMUNITY IN CRISIS DEBUTED IN SUMMER 2014 AND 2015 RESPECTIVELY ACROSS THE COUNTRY INCLUDING NEW YORK CITY, CHICAGO, ROCHESTER, AND BIRMINGHAM TO GLOWING REVIEWS FROM TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT:FROM ITS BEGINNINGS, CLASSROOM, INC. HAS CONDUCTED RESEARCH TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF ITS PROGRAMS ON STUDENTS AND TO PROVIDE REGULAR FEEDBACK TO IMPROVE ITS EVOLVING PROGRAMS. OUR COMMITMENT TO MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF STUDENTS IS FIRMLY EMBEDDED IN THE REQUIREMENT FOR OBJECTIVE OUTCOMES DATA. WE USE THIS DATA TO ASSESS HOW WELL WE ARE MEETING THE CRITICAL GOAL OF IMPROVING STUDENTS' ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. WE HAVE WORKED WITH UNIVERSITY SCHOLARS AND EVALUATION FIRMS TO BE SURE OUR PERSPECTIVE IS BROADENED AND OUR RESEARCH IS SOUND. [SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O] OUR INTERNAL RESEARCH IS CONDUCTED AND ANALYZED BY STAFF MEMBERS WHO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL EXPERTISE IN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND STATISTICS. SENIOR RESEARCH DIRECTOR, ANNE-MARIE HOXIE, HAS A DOCTORATE IN APPLIED DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY WHO HAS SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE IN MANAGING RESEARCH AND STUDENT TESTING PROGRAMS AND IN CONDUCTING AND INTERPRETING OUTCOME STUDIES.THE COLLECTIVE FINDINGS OF CI'S INTERNAL RESEARCH, AS WELL AS STUDIES CONDUCTED BY METIS ASSOCIATES, INC., INDIANA UNIVERSITY'S CENTER FOR INNOVATION IN ASSESSMENT, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH'S LEARNING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER, REVEAL IMPROVEMENTS IN STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND APPLIED LEARNING RELATED TO READING AND MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE. IN ADDITION, CI AND EXTERNAL STUDIES OF MULTIPLE SCHOOL-YEAR AND SUMMER PROGRAMS OVER THE YEARS, RESEARCHERS HAVE DOCUMENTED IMPROVEMENTS IN STUDENTS' PROBLEM SOLVING, COLLABORATION, AND TECHNOLOGY SKILLS, AS WELL AS IN THEIR CAREER READINESS AND ETHICAL REASONING.A MAJOR INDEPENDENT STUDY BASED ON RESEARCH OVER FOUR SUMMERS (2008-2011) CONDUCTED BY METIS ASSOCIATES SHOWS THAT SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM OFFERED BY CLASSROOM, INC., A NATIONAL LEADER IN HELPING LOW-ACHIEVING STUDENTS SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY, MADE SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN READING AND MATH. ON AVERAGE, STUDENTS GAINED THREE MONTHS IN READING AND SEVEN MONTHS IN MATH AFTER JUST FOUR TO FIVE WEEKS OF USING CLASSROOM, INC. WE ALSO JUST CONDUCTED A SIMILAR STUDY WITH METIS ASSOCIATES BASED ON RESEARCH OVER FIVE SCHOOL YEARS FROM 2008-2009 THROUGH 2012-2013 AND FOUND SIGNIFICANT GAINS. STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN CLASSROOM, INC.'S SCHOOL-YEAR PROGRAM MADE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT READING GAINS IN EACH GRADE 4 THROUGH 9, AND FOR BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS. THE MORE CLASSROOM, INC. PROGRAMS THAT STUDENTS COMPLETED THE MORE GAINS THEY HAD IN READING PERFORMANCE THAN THOSE WHO FINISHED FEWER PARTS OF THE PROGRAMS. IN LARGE AND DIVERSE CLASSES WHERE STUDENTS ARE ACHIEVING AT DIFFERENT LEVELS, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR TEACHERS TO REGULARLY MONITOR HOW STUDENTS ARE DOING IN REAL-TIME - AND ADJUST INSTRUCTION IF NEEDED. IN 2012, WE INTRODUCED ONLINE READING AND MATH TESTS THAT GO ALONG WITH OUR PROGRAM, TESTS THAT SHOW TEACHERS IN REAL TIME WHAT STUDENTS ARE LEARNING - AS WELL AS WHAT THEY STILL NEED TO LEARN. AND NOW IN 2014 WITH OUR NEW PROGRAM, AFTER THE STORM, EMBEDDED ASSESSMENTS FEED DIRECTLY INTO A TEACHER DASHBOARD SO TEACHERS CAN IMMEDIATELY SPOT PROBLEM AREAS FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS, OR EVALUATE WHICH STANDARDS MIGHT NEED TO BE REINFORCED FOR THE CLASS AS A WHOLE.
