PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT GOAL: DEVELOP AND CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AND AFFIRMING PROGRAMS THAT EXTEND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING INTO MULTIPLE SETTINGS. OUR INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS COLLABORATE CLOSELY WITH OUR RESEARCH TEAM TO GATHER AND ANALYZE FEEDBACK FROM VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING ADVISORY BOARDS, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING CONSULTANTS, EDUCATORS, STUDENTS, AND CLIENTS. THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH HELPS US PINPOINT THE MOST RELEVANT IMPROVEMENTS FOR STUDENTS AND FOR THE OVERALL QUALITY OF OUR PROGRAMS. NOTABLY, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM UNDERWENT SIGNIFICANT REVISIONS, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF A NEW UNIT OF CONTENT AIMED AT ENHANCING THE ALIGNMENT OF SKILLS K-12 AND BOOSTING STUDENT AND TEACHER ENGAGEMENT. LOOKING AHEAD TO THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR, WE ARE EXCITED TO INTRODUCE NEW PLATFORM FUNCTIONALITY THAT ALLOWS DISTRICTS TO OPT INTO OPTIONAL CONTENT. THIS FEATURE IS PARTICULARLY CRUCIAL FOR AREAS SUCH AS OUR BULLYING AND HARASSMENT UNIT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES IN OUR SOON-TO-BE-RELEASED HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. FURTHERMORE, WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO OUR LEARNING PLATFORM. ONE NOTABLE ADJUSTMENT IS THE ARCHITECTURAL SHIFT FROM INDIVIDUAL LICENSES TO SITE-BASED LICENSES, ENABLING US TO BETTER ACCOMMODATE DISTRICT-LED PURCHASES. ADDITIONALLY, OUR ENHANCED REPORTING AND MONITORING IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORTS PROVIDE ESSENTIAL USAGE DATA TO IMPLEMENTATION LEADERS, EMPOWERING THEM TO EFFECTIVELY ROLL OUT AND MONITOR USAGE OF OUR PROGRAMS IN THEIR SCHOOLS. THESE DEVELOPMENTS UNDERSCORE OUR ONGOING COMMITMENT TO DELIVERING INNOVATIVE, STUDENT-CENTERED SOLUTIONS AND ENSURING THAT OUR PROGRAMS EVOLVE TO MEET THE CHANGING NEEDS OF EDUCATORS AND LEARNERS ALIKE. 2. PROGRAM IMPACT GOAL: TO INCREASE OUR PROGRAM'S IMPACT BY APPLYING MULTIPLE STRATEGIES AND IN CONSULTATION WITH EXTERNAL EXPERTS ALONG WITH OUR INTERNAL RESEARCH TEAM. WE HAVE USED A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT MODEL AND AN EQUITY FRAMEWORK TO EVALUATE WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR PROGRAMS SO THEY ARE RELEVANT FOR ALL CHILDREN. THE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT MODEL INCLUDES COLLECTING BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTIATIVE DATA FROM ADMINISTRATORS, EDUCATORS, AND STUDENTS THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS, INTERVIEWS, AND SURVEYS. PRODUCT ANALYTICS ARE ALSO ANALYZED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAMS. A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL OF OUR SECOND STEP OUT OF SCHOOL TIME PROGRAM WAS STARTED BY AN EXTENRAL RESEARCHER (XSEL LABS). WE HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON HOW WE CAN BETTER SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR PROGRAMS. WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN IMPLEMENTATION ADHERENCE DASHBOARD THAT ENABLES US TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPLEMENTATION FIDELITY OF OUR DIGITAL PROGRAMS, SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF ADHERENCE, ENGAGEMENT, AND GENERALIZABILITY. WE HAVE DEVELOPED PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION RESOURCES THAT ALIGN TO IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE AND THE DATA WE COLLECT ON IMPLEMENTATION. 3. PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT GOAL: TO BUILD PARTNERSHIPS TO EXPAND CFC'S REACH AND IMPACT. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT PARTNERS TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR PROGRAMS THROUGH ONGOING CONSULTATION AND TRAINING. WE ALSO WORK CLOSELY WITH PRACTITIONERS, EXPERTS, AND RESEARCHERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PROGRAMS. AS PART OF OUR INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH, PARTNERS IN 12 COUNTRIES PROMOTE AND DISTRIBUTE ADAPTED VERSIONS OF THE SECOND STEP PROGRAM AND PROVIDE TRAINING AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT. WE ALSO MANAGE THE LARGEST ONLINE COMMUNITY IN THE SEL SPACE ON FACEBOOK WITH OVER 10,000 MEMBERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. WE COLLABORATE WITH THE COLLABORATIVE FOR ACEDEMIC, SOCIAL, AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING, THE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE ON CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS, AND NUMEROUS OTHER ASSOCIATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO ADVANCE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING, BULLYING PREVENTION, AND CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION IN K-12 EDUCATION. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: 1. TRAINING AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT GOAL: TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY, EFFICIENT, AND ACCESSIBLE IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORTS TO ENSURE THE SUCCESSFUL REACH AND IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAMS. TRAINING RESOURCES ARE INCLUDED WITH THE PURCHASE OF OUR PROGRAMS. OUR CLIENT RELATIONS TEAMS OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF TRAINING AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORTS WITH A FOCUS ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, INCLUDING IMPLEMENTATION CONSULTATION FOR PLANNING, ONBOARDING, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, PROGRAM USAGE, AND SUSTAINABILITY. OUR CLIENT RELATIONS TEAMS ALSO PROVIDE CUSTOMIZED LIVE WORKSHOPS, PROACTIVE USAGE AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORTS, AND IMPLEMENTATION WEBINARS. REGIONAL EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS TEAMS PROVIDE DISTRICT KICK-OFF EVENTS IN EACH TERRITORY TO SUPPORT STRONG PROGRAM STARTUPS. 2. IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH GOAL: TO DETERMINE HOW TO IMPROVE THE IMPLEMENTATION FIDELITY OF OUR PROGRAMS AND MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPLEMENTATION RESOURCES. WE HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON HOW WE CAN BETTER SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR PROGRAMS. WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN IMPLEMENTATION ADHERENCE DASHBOARD THAT ENABLES US TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPLEMENTATION FIDELITY OF OUR DIGITAL PROGRAMS, SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF ADHERENCE, ENGAGEMENT, AND GENERALIZABILITY. WE HAVE DEVELOPED PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION RESOURCES THAT ALIGN TO IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE AND THE DATA WE COLLECT ON IMPLEMENTATION. 3. PROGRAM EVALUATION GOAL: TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR PROGRAMS. WE IMPLEMENTED AN EVALUATION STRATEGY AND EQUITY FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, ALLOWING US TO MAKE INCREMENTAL CHANGES TO OUR PROGRAMS TO ENSURE THEY ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF AND RELEVANT FOR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. TO MEET THIS GOAL, WE HAVE DEVELOPED RESEARCH AND EVALUATION ROADMAPS THAT ALIGN WITH RESEARCH QUESTIONS THAT CAN HELP US DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, THIS YEAR WE STARTED A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL OF OUR SECOND STEP OUT OF SCHOOL TIME PROGRAM. WE HAVE ALSO PARTNERED WITH EXTERNAL RESEARCHERS AND HAVE RECEIVED FEDERAL FUNDING TO EVALUATE COMPONENTS OF OUR PROGRAMS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C: 1. OUTREACH GOAL: TO INCREASE COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING, CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION, AND BULLYING PREVENTION THROUGH MEDIA OUTREACH, POLICY AND ADVOCACY, AND PUBLIC RELATIONS CAMPAIGNS. CFC'S ANNUAL HOT CHOCOLATE TALK CAMPAIGN FOR CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH IN APRIL 2023 INCLUDED A FREE RESOURCES WEBPAGE WITH HUNDREDS OF DOWNLOADS OF THE RESEARCH-BASED CONVERSATION GUIDES FOR DIFFERENT AGES. VICE PRESIDENT OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND IMPACT TIA KIM, PH.D. MADE AN APPEARANCE IN THE 3 IN 30 TAKEAWAYS FOR MOMS PODCAST ABOUT HOW PARENTS CAN TALK TO THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION. IN HONOR OF NATIONAL BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH IN OCTOBER, CFC LAUNCHED THE SIXTH ANNUAL CAPTAIN COMPASSION CAMPAIGN, INCLUDING A NEW DOWNLOADABLE, FIVE-WEEK WEBCOMIC ADDRESSING THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF BULLYING AND GUIDANCE FOR HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND REFUSE IT. THE NATIONAL INITIATIVE: THE KINDNESS CHALLENGE, WAS A CALL TO PROMOTE KINDNESS AND EMPATHY. CEO ANDREA LOVANHILL WAS ON FOX13 LIVE SPEAKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BULLYING PREVENTION AND THE CAMPAIGN. ANOTHER WIN WAS A STORY IN CARE.COM ABOUT THE TYPES OF BULLYING PARENTS SHOULD BE AWARE OF. CFC RELAUNCHED THE GROW KINDER PODCAST, WHICH ACHIEVED 58,986 LIFETIME PLAYS AND 25,643 LIFETIME DOWNLOADS IN MARCH 2024. THE EPISODES ARE HOSTED BY EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AND FEATURE THOUGHT LEADERS IN EDUCATION, PARENTING, AND BUSINESS, SUCH AS DR. LAURA MARKHAM OF AHA! PARENTING, DR. KATHLEEN ETHIER OF THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND HELEN WESTMORELAND OF THE NATIONAL PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION.

ADVOCACY GOAL: TO ADVANCE POLICY AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS IN SUPPORT OF CFC'S PRIORITIES PROMOTING EQUITABLE AND EFFECTIVE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING, PREVENTING BULLYING, AND PREVENTING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, CFC SUPPORTED BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS, ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS, AND VARIOUS PIECES OF LEGISLATION RELATED TO EFFECTIVE AND EQUITABLE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING. CFC ALSO PARTICIPATED IN VARIOUS FEDERAL COALITIONS, SUCH AS THOSE THAT FOCUS ON CHILD-FOCUSED BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS, CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION, AND THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING. CFC ALSO JOINED AND LED VARIOUS LEGISLATIVE STRATEGIES AND CAMPAIGNS, FROM CIRCULATING JOINT SIGN-ON LETTERS TO VISITING CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE STAFF. AT THE STATE LEVEL, IN WASHINGTON STATE, CFC ADVOCATED LEGISLATION THAT ADVANCED EQUITABLE AND EFFECTIVE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING POLICY AND BUDGET LINE ITEMS, COORDINATING WITH VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS.
