“Cef is serving as a student success innovation fund to promote new, creative and powerful initiatives to improve students' education in our community. It is an advocate for and funds high leverage programs that have well defined outcomes and can make "big impacts" for student success. In collaboration with coastside school districts, cef identifies clear goals, strategies, and resources required for each initiative to achieve results. There are several major themes for cef basic grant making at this time: - literacy (k-3) - college and career readiness (avid 6th - 12th grades, science, social and emotional well being) - learning and enrichment (innovation grants) grants in these areas have funded and promoted teacher professional development and informational libraries that significantly increase our students' reading proficiency by the end of third grade. Cef has also been able to expand the outcome based college and career readiness program (avid) from 6th through 12th grade. Cef leverages the power of its annual endowment distribution to add new programs such as its innovation grants to both cusd faculty and students. These grants seek to identify and support teacher and student innovations that can be gamechangers and potentially taken to scale.”

“Literacy - big lift: cef is the catalyst in making "big collective impacts". It is doing this by forming high leverage collaborative partnerships to meet student needs at a level greater than any one entity could do on its own. Cef co-wrote the big lift grant which is funded by the white house's social innovation fund and san mateo county's measure a. Cef also provided the initial community cash match for this grant and continued to do so in 2018. The silicon valley community foundation, google, the coastside children's program among many others are partnering with cef and the cabrillo unified school district (cusd) to address literacy at the earliest levels. This is critical for all of our students to learn to read proficiently by the end of third grade so that they can then read to learn. More than 2 million in early learning/literacy funds have been brought into our community due to cef advocacy. Reading proficiency/early literacy -by the end of the 2018 school year there were 3rd to 4th grade literacy gains from 44% to 49% per the new state caaspp measurements. His was achieved by cef: -building upon pre-k literacy efforts cef funded k-3 programs so that 80% of our students will be reading proficiently by the end of third grade. Programs include the reader's workshop that provides high quality professional development for our teachers through columbia university's teacher's college reading and writing program. - cef has been building upon its investment in early reading development through providing "targeted" reading materials across the k-5 grade level range as part of the classrooms' libraries. College/career readiness programs in 2018 cef funded the national recognized avid program for 6th and 12th grade students to develop the organizational skills to be college and career ready. Approximately 2000 students benefited from faculty-directed professional development and collaboration to assist secondary science teachers in becoming models and experts in next generation science standards. Cef partnered with the school district to provide 71,500 for a science specialist position. With the support of cef, the 5th grade science teacher will continue to teach 5th grade science and also embed a unit of computer science. The teacher will be able to cover all four elementary sites, a total of about 250 students in about 9 classrooms. This will also increase collaboration between the 5th grade science teacher and other elementary teachers as our elementary schools begin to explore next generation science standards. Coastside futures / promise: in 2018 cef continued its collaboration with the cabrillo unified school district and the la honda pescadero in the coastside futures effort. This new coastside futures initiative now being taken to scale provides critical supports to students along the pathway from pre k-college to insure college & career readiness and completion. Cef has seed funded this multimillion dollar pre-k through college initiative with its advocacy and cash match for the big lift early learning grant, k-3 literacy programs, the expansion of the avid college readiness program from 6th-12th grades and now college scholarships. In 2018, cef/coastside futures distributed 55 college scholarships to low income students across the coastside for a total of 27,500. This coastside futures pre-k through college initiative is a collective impact effort, a collaboration that allows expertise and funds to be leveraged to have the greatest impact on our coastside students' success. National model & local model our approach to forming collaborative partnerships for greater collective impact has been recognized nationally, statewide, regionally and locally and includes: - invited to the white house in october 2016 to discuss college affordability issues. - recognized as a national model of collective impact and collaboration for student success by the national school foundation association in the spring of 2017. - in 2017 receive”
