Change the Equation Inc

“After approval by change the equation's ceo and coo/director of research, cteq's form 990 is filed with the internal revenue service.”

“Every cteq board member and officer annually signs a statement affirming that he or she (i.) has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy and (ii.) will comply with the policy. With respect to any board discussion or decision involving matters covered by this policy, the minutes of the board meeting at which such discussion or decision take place must reflect in detail the board deliberations and the voting process, specifically indicating that the director or officer whose situation was considered was not present in the room either during the discussion or for the vote. In addition, any market data or information considered by the board in approving or disapproving a proposed transaction covered by this policy must be attached to the minutes of the board meeting at which such consideration took place.”

“The founding members of cteq retained the services of terra search partners, an executive search firm headquartered in california. Part of the practice of this search firm includes non-profits; the person leading the search for cteq presented comparable salary data for the ceo position to the founding members, who settled on the final amount. The gates foundation donated the services of the monitor group to help conceptualize compensation for each position. Once the benchmark salary level was set for the ceo, recommendations from the monitor group, experience and existing compensation levels of the individuals being hired were considered in making salary offers.”

“Cteq makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available for public inspection upon request. In addition, change the equation will maintain its form 990 in guidestar's database of information on non-profit organizations.”

“Change the equation's mission is to ensure that every u.s. High school graduate is literate in science, technology, engineering and math (stem). The organization helps to engage young people, in particular, low-minority students, in stem learning that will enable them to succeed in post- secondary education, hold rewarding jobs, and participate fully as citizens.”

“Advocacy for change. Cteq vital signs data have been cited by dozens of national and state media outlets across the country, and national legislators, state legislators, ceos, and at least two governors have used them to advocate for greater focus on stem learning. In 2016, cteq updated vital signs with new data as they became available, created 4-page data summaries for every state in the nation, and began the process of creating tailored powerpoint presentations to make the case for strong stem education policies and programs in every state. In addition, cteq produced important new vital signs briefs and infographics featuring original data on subjects as diverse as engineering in k-12, career and technical education (cte) in stem, and the impact of next generation science standards. Our releases included:. Left to chance (may 2016) - millions of american youth spend precious little time tinkering, troubleshooting, or doing the kinds of hands-on problem-solving that are at the heart of technology and engineering. Students on stem (brief and infographic) (june 2016) - a new survey of american teenagers reveals how we can better engage students in science - both in and out of the classroom. Bridging the computer science access gap (infographics) (august 2016) - new data reveal how little access u.s. High schoolers have to computer science courses. Fortunately, there are signs of change. High schoolers lack access to statistics courses (infographics) (september 2016) - big data is big news, yet limited access to high school statistics courses could create a shortage of talent for jobs in this fast-growing field.”

“100,000 students and youth in these states. (we are still counting the final numbers, so the ultimate impact will be higher.) by the end of 2016, cteq was in final conversations to forge partnerships with two additional states - oregon and nevada, bring the total up to seven state partnerships. Several additional conversations are ongoing.”

“Expand corporate investment in stemworks change the equation is committed to expanding access to the best stem learning opportunities to as many children and youth in the united states as possible. We do this work by helping our member companies and other stem advocates scale the best stem education programs nationwide, which we and our partners have identified through our rigorous stemworks protocol for vetting stem education programs, in and out of school. Our efforts in 2016 helped companies and their partners expand excellent stem programs to almost half a million children and youth across the country. Expanding and promoting stemworks programs cteq works with its member companies to increase their collective impact of their philanthropy on stem learning in the united states. A major strategy for doing so is rallying companies around programs that are most likely to have a big impact on young people's performance or interest in stem. In 2016, cteq member companies invested tens of millions of dollars in programs cteq had identified as among the most effective in the nation. This investment brought these programs to more than 320,000 more young people across the country. With cteq support, public/private partnerships scaled these programs to more than 100,000 additional young people. This effort began in 2010-2011, when cteq worked with a committee of representatives from member companies to create a set of "design principles for effective stem philanthropy," together with a rubric to help companies apply the principles. These tools help member companies examine their own practice and increase the impact of the resources they devote to improving learning in stem. In 2012, cteq expanded its philanthropy work by creating stemworks, a searchable database of stem learning programs that measure up to the design principles. Cteq contracts with wested, a research and evaluation nonprofit, to evaluate programs against the rubric. Only programs that meet a high bar are admitted to stemworks. There are currently more than 80 programs in stemworks. More than two dozen of these are "promising," which means they have the potential to meet stemworks's high bar if they develop themselves further. Less than a third of stemworks applicants have been admitted as either accomplished or promising programs. Promoting stemworks change the equation works with its public and private partners to promote the stemworks database as the nation's leading honor roll of effective stem education programs. Cteq uses its robust social media networks (including 25,000+ twitter followers) to promote stemworks programs' success. Cteq staff speak about stemworks and its programs at stem education gatherings across the country. The stemworks endorsement has been gaining credibility as one of the nation's most meaningful endorsements of quality. Expand state investments in stemworks since 2014, change the equation has helped state leaders use stemworks to improve the impact of their stem investments. In 2016, cteq launched an effort to expand its stemworks partnerships. In addition, cteq has made special efforts to strengthen corporate stem investments in california. Building local capacity to support stem in 2016, cteq built out its infrastructure for supporting local communities improve their capacity for identifying and addressing their most important stem needs. To do so, cteq developed its ability to collect and deploy data on workforce and education needs at the local level. Catalyzing business/district efforts to reach children in 2016, change the equation helped advise companies and other partners on how they could forge stronger partnerships with school districts to promote success in stem education. We worked with companies and district leaders to advise on ways in which corporate and public investments could produce greater impact in local communities. Marketing effective state practices in the effort to expand its state stemworks franchises, cteq has p”
