| IRS990/Desc | 0 | TODAY, 36 MILLION AMERICANS CANNOT READ ABOVE A FIFTH GRADE LEVEL, AND LESS THAN 5% ARE SERVED BY IN-PERSON PROGRAMS THROUGH FEDERAL FUNDING. IN RESPONSE, THE FOUNDATION JOINED WITH THE XPRIZE FOUNDATION AND THE DOLLAR GENERAL LITERACY FOUNDATION TO LAUNCH THE WORLD'S FIRST-EVER ADULT LITERACY XPRIZE COMPETITION, WHICH WILL AWARD $7 MILLION IN PRIZES TO WINNING MOBILE LEARNING APPLICATIONS ABLE TO MOVE LOW-LITERATE ADULTS TO BASIC LITERACY IN JUST ONE YEAR. THE COMPETITION FIELD, WHICH ORIGINALLY NUMBERED 109 TEAMS FROM 15 COUNTRIES, HAS BEEN NARROWED TO EIGHT SEMI-FINALIST TEAMS. THE APPLICATIONS CREATED BY THESE TEAMS ARE NOW BEING FIELD TESTED WITH 12,000 ADULT LEARNERS IN THREE CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY: DALLAS, LOS ANGELES, AND PHILADELPHIA. RESEARCH EXPECTED FROM THIS FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND ENDEAVOR IS EXPECTED TO HELP THE WORLD DISCOVER MUCH ABOUT HOW ADULTS LEARN INDIVIDUALLY WITH TECHNOLOGY, REVOLUTIONIZING ADULT EDUCATION AND SHIFTING POLICY DISCUSSIONS FOR YEARS TO COME.IN ADDITION TO LEVERAGING THE POWER OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE XPRIZE, THE FOUNDATION IS PLAYING AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN THE GROWING NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO EXPAND ACCESS TO ADULT CHARTER SCHOOLS. IN 2016, THE FOUNDATION PARTNERED WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO CO-HOST THE ADULT SCHOOLS GROWTH FORUM, BRINGING TOGETHER PARTNERS WITH A VESTED INTEREST IN EXPANDING ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY, COST-EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS FOR ADULTS. THE FOUNDATION SHARED ITS FOLLOW-UP WHITE PAPER, "ADULT CHARTER SCHOOLS: CREATING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES," WITH TOP-LEVEL LEADERSHIP AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND WITH THE NATIONAL ADULT EDUCATION COMMUNITY, AND CONTINUES TO WORK WITH THOSE PARTNERS AND OTHERS.RECOGNIZING THAT MORE THAN 10 MILLION CHILDREN NATIONWIDE ATTEND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS, THE FOUNDATION HAS SPEARHEADED SEVERAL INITIATIVES AIMED AT ENHANCING LITERACY LEARNING DURING THE AFTERSCHOOL HOURS. DURING THE PAST YEAR, THE FOUNDATION CONDUCTED A NATIONAL SURVEY OF 600 PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO ATTEND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS, GATHERING VALUABLE FEEDBACK THAT CAN BE USED TO INCREASE PARENT ENGAGEMENT IN LITERACY SKILL DEVELOPMENT. THE FOUNDATION ALSO RELEASED A PEER-REVIEWED PRACTICE GUIDE, "EXTENDING AND ENHANCING LITERACY LEARNING IN AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS," TO HELP AFTERSCHOOL PROVIDERS NATIONWIDE INCORPORATE LITERACY SKILL DEVELOPMENT INTO THEIR PROGRAMS. THE GUIDE PROVIDES DETAILED, EVIDENCE-BASED INFORMATION TO HELP PROVIDERS CHOOSE AMONG THE MANY CURRICULUM OPTIONS ON THE MARKET-INCLUDING EVALUATIONS OF 17 LITERACY-FOCUSED PROGRAMS TO HELP THEM SELECT THE BEST FIT FOR THEIR PROGRAMS BASED ON FACTORS INCLUDING TARGET LITERACY AREAS, STAFFING AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS, COSTS, AND RESULTS. THE FOUNDATION HAS SHARED THE SURVEY RESULTS AND THE PRACTICE GUIDE WITH TOP-LEVEL LEADERSHIP AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND PRESENTED IT TO AFTERSCHOOL PROVIDERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AT THE NATIONAL AFTERSCHOOL SUMMIT.THE FOUNDATION'S EARLY LITERACY EFFORTS ALSO INCLUDE WORKING WITH TALK WITH ME BABY, AN EARLY CHILDHOOD LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM BASED ON THE LATEST SCIENCE IN BRAIN DEVELOPMENT. THIS PUBLIC ACTION CAMPAIGN IS AIMED AT COACHING PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ON WAYS TO NOURISH CHILDREN NEUROLOGICALLY, SOCIALLY, AND LINGUISTICALLY THROUGH HIGH-QUALITY, ENGAGING LANGUAGE. USING ITS NATIONAL REACH, THE FOUNDATION HAS HELPED THE PROGRAM BRING ITS RESOURCES AND TRAINING TO SCALE THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ONLINE TOOLKIT AND THE EXPANSION OF TRAINING TO HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL SERVICE WORKERS, TEACHERS, AND OTHERS ACROSS THE NATION WHO REGULARLY INTERFACE WITH PARENTS. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 |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|
