Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. After-School Arts Education: Arts Corps delivers yearlong after-school classes through long term, sustainable partnerships with
schools and after-school programs. Arts Corps places teaching artists at a partner site to teach ongoing classes that develop
students’ imagination, critical thinking and persistence, improve school attendance and academic performance. After-school
classes typically meet for 48 hours per year. The typical class size is 15 and the typical annual class cost is $3,180 (fees negotiated).
2. School-day Arts Education: School-day programs foster a partnership between teaching artists and core subject classroom
teachers, igniting students’ academic learning as well as fostering their creative capacities. Class sessions focus on a creative
project that deepens learning in the arts and another subject area while developing students’ creative capacities. School-day
classes typically meet for 24 hours per year. The typical class size is 27 and the typical annual class cost is $2460 (fees negotiated).
3. Creative Schools Initiative: This program expands the impact of our existing programs proven to increase students’ persistence
and higher order thinking skills by replicating national best practices of school-wide arts integration effective at improving student
academic achievement, school climate and teaching practice. Teaching artists spend 20 hours each week contributing to an
arts rich environment by teaching in the classroom and in after school programs, and guiding exhibits and performances with
students. They collaborate closely with classroom teachers to create units and lessons that are rooted in student inquiry and
project based learning. The typical program serves 4-6 classrooms yearlong and the typical annual program cost is $24,000 (fees
negotiated).
Results Achieved (Bullets or Brief Description):
Reading impact: 55% of students in a cohort of 4th and 5th grade elementary students at Van Asselt and Kimball Elementary
Schools who participated in Arts Corps after-school classes consistently through the 2010-2011 school year moved from Level 1 or 2
to Level 3 or 4 on the reading MSP, as compared to 30% improvement rate for a no Arts Corps comparison group.
Math impact: A cohort of Arts Corps students at Mercer Middle School who participated in Arts Corps classes consistently
between 2008-09 (as 6th graders) to 2010-11 (as 8th graders) consistently outperformed their non Arts Corps peers in math, with 67%
meeting standard in math (Level 3 or 4 on math WASL) in 2008-09, as compared to 48% of the no Arts Corps comparison group.
Attendance impact: 83% of 9th graders at Chief Sealth High School who participated in Arts Corps classes throughout 2009-10 had
fewer than 10 absences in that academic year, as compared to 55% of 9th graders not in Arts Corps programs.
Impact on 21st Century Skills development: Arts Corps’ classes are proven to develop five habits of mind central to the creative
process: critical thinking, imagination, reflection, risk-taking and persistence. These essential characteristics shape how we respond
to challenges or new situations and build a foundation for life-long learning.

Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. Case Management - This strategy is designed to provide wrap-around case management support for struggling students (due to
academic/attendance issues, family conflict, or any other reason.) Case Managers work one-on-one with students and parents to
identify their needs, access community resources, improve parenting skills and address children's problem behaviors. Each
child/family has an individual service plan and goals and sessions can be held in the school, home or other community location.
This strategy is based on the highly successful Readiness to Learn program, which CHSW has offered in various parts of the state for
more than 15 years. Each Case Manager serves up to 40 students during the school year (20 at any given time.) The cost of
operating this strategy with one Case Manager is $70,000; the incremental cost of adding a second Case Manager is $50,000.
2. Parent Education & Support - CHSW works with parents one-on-one and in groups to improve their parenting skills using the
following evidence-based curricula: Triple P (Positive Parenting Program - Level 3), Positive Discipline, Strengthening Families, and
Parent-Child Home Program (for parents of young children and those with special needs for transitioning to pre-school and
kindergarten.) Schools can select from among the available curricula tailored to their needs. The cost of providing parent
education and support services to approximately 40 families over the course of the school year (with multiple curricula) is $30,000.

Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. Parent education classes specifically geared toward immigrant families with children. Topics may include supporting child
developmental needs, effective communication, positive discipline, using The Source, internet safety, and family engagement.
Cost for series of 8 classes for 15 families = $3,600.
2. Academic, emotional, individual and family support provided through an afterschool program. Activities include bilingual
homework guidance, academic enrichment activities, computer classes, regular communication with school teachers and
counselors, biligual literacy-based projects, family support and parent engagement case management services. Cost for 10
participants per academic year = $30,000.
3. Family outreach to Chinese immigrant families with children in Seattle Public Schools regardless of ELL status. Essentially case
management which would include home visits, participation in workshops in the home language, meeting basic needs such as
financial issues, housing, transportation, employment and connection to services if not offered internally through CISC. In addition,
we would arrange for family outings to promote college awareness and reinforce preparation and planning efforts. Cost per
family per year = $800.

Results Achieved (Bullets or Brief Description):
Out of 25 sets of parents all 25 have increased involvement in their children’s education. 92% of the parents report improved
communication with teachers, counselors and principals.
93% reported that they have changed their parenting practices to support child social and emotional development. Our students

Additional Notes:
Chinese Information and Service Center offers a broad range of social, family, employment, education, and cultural programs to the
Chinese and other Asian communities in King County. Founded in 1972 by student volunteers to meet the needs of Chinese immigrants,
particularly seniors, CISC has grown to become one of the area’s largest and most effective providers of referral and direct services to
bilingual/bicultural individuals and families. In 2011, more than 20,000 people took advantage of programs that ease and enrich the lives of
youth, parents, and elders in the years immediately following immigration and well beyond.
Programs serving families and youth focus not only on promoting academic achievement, but bicultural identity development. CISC has a
long history of providing

family case management
youth development activities
family support and
parenting
in addition to traditional academic support to ensure that our youth succeed in school.
Working with the entire family system is crucial to ensuring the success of the individual student, particularly within immigrant communities.
CISC has an holistic approach to services, building on strengths within the family to create opportunities for growth and success in school
and in life. Helping families build bridges between cultures, communities and generations is a key goal in all of our programs

Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. Designing and Implementing an Effective Advisory/Postsecondary Planning Program: ESR helps schools to establish advisory
programs that play a central role in supporting college and career readiness and planning. Advisory is a fundamental structure for
middle and high school students to develop key life skills, metacognitive skills, and habits of learning in support of academic
achievement, postsecondary planning, and healthy development. Advisories provide the structure for students to have
opportunities to practice and rehearse these skills and habits in an authentic setting with a peer group that supports and learns
from one another. Advisories build a strong career-ready, college-going peer culture and create a personalized learning
environment where all students are well known by at least one adult through weekly small group meetings and one-to-one
interactions. 500 students/40 staff $41,500/year. 19 on-site days with staff.
2. Creating High-Performing, High-Achieving Classrooms: Prepares teachers to create safe, orderly, engaging, and rigorous
classrooms. It helps teachers learn a range of research-based instructional strategies, classroom practices, protocols, and
procedures for reaching and engaging all learners and implementing a problem-solving, restorative approach to classroom
management and discipline called Guided Discipline and Personalized Student Support. 500 students/40 staff $35,100. 16 on-site
days with staff.

engagement in learning; Increases in students’ sense of belonging and attachment to school; Increases in average daily student
attendance and reductions in late arrivals, tardies during the school day, and class cuts;
Faculty Outcomes: Establishment of engaging classrooms and effective advisories; Development of strong relationships between
students and adults as the basis for supporting students’ personal, academic, and postsecondary development
School Outcomes: A safe, respectful, orderly, supportive classroom environment and learning-focused culture where ALL students
can excel academically; A strong career-ready, college-going culture in which all adults ensure that students complete grade-
level postsecondary milestones; Actively engaged families/allies in the postsecondary planning process; Increase in the number of
students that graduate with a postsecondary plan two years beyond high school, the number of students that are accepted by
at least two postsecondary institutions, and the number of students who enroll in college.

Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. Designing and Implementing an Effective Advisory/Case Management System: Establish advisory programs that play a central
role in case management within a school. Advisory is a fundamental structure for middle and high school students to develop key
life skills, metacognitive skills, and habits of learning in support of academic achievement, postsecondary planning, and healthy
social and emotional development. Advisories create a more personalized learning environment where all students are well
known by at least one adult through weekly small group meetings and one-to-one interactions. Advisors also support students and
families with the transition from 5th to 6th and 8th to 9th grades. 500 students/40 staff $41,500/year. 19 on-site days with staff.
2. Creating High-Performing, High-Achieving Classrooms: Prepares teachers to create safe, orderly, engaging, and rigorous
classrooms. It helps teachers learn a range of research-based instructional strategies, classroom practices, protocols, and
procedures for reaching and engaging all learners and implementing a problem-solving, restorative approach to classroom
management and discipline called Guided Discipline and Personalized Student Support. 500 students/40 staff $35,100/year. 16 on-
site days with staff.
3. Building Effective Teams: Helps middle and high schools build effective grade-level teams that play a crucial role in case
management systems, often coupled with advisory and three-tier behavior systems. Schools will develop effective, high-
performing teams that: 1) hold collective responsibility for equitable access and opportunities for a cohort of students; 2) use data
to target and improve academic and behavioral supports and interventions for students; 3) increase student attachment to
school; and 4) improve learning and achievement for every student. 500 students/40 staff $23,100/year. 11.5 on-site days with staff
4. Establishing a Three-Tier, Restorative Approach to School-wide Discipline: ESR facilitates a data-informed process for reviewing,
revising and streamlining school-wide discipline and behavioral supports and interventions. The process uses the Positive
Behavioral Supports (PBS) three-tier framework to design and ensure opportunities, supports, and interventions for all students that
encourage positive behaviors. The three-tiered framework is based upon the recognition that different students need different
amounts and kinds of time, attention, and support to learn successfully and behave responsibly. ESR emphasizes a problem-
solving, restorative approach, rather than a punitive approach. It includes practices which range from guidance behavior
replacement sessions and peer mediation to alternatives to suspension. ESR will help strengthen school-wide essentials like the
code of conduct and referral system. 500 students/40 staff $62,500/year. 24.5 on-site days with staff.
5.
Results Achieved (Bullets or Brief Description):
Examples of student outcomes: Increases in student efficacy, self-directedness, self-management, academic persistence and
engagement in learning; Greater student responsibility and accountability; Increases in students’ sense of belonging and
attachment to school; Increases in average daily student attendance and reductions in late arrivals, tardies during the school
day, and class cuts
Examples of faculty outcomes: Increases in comfort, commitment, and competencies to establish classroom learning
environments where teachers serve as “first responders”, who provide tier 1 and 2 behavior supports and interventions inside and
23
outside the classroom; Development of capacity to productively handle a wide array of adolescent behaviors; Development
and submission of annual classroom management plans that reflect a preventative, problem-solving, restorative practices
orientation with use of accountable consequences; Development of strong personal relationships among and between students
and adults as the basis for supporting students’ personal, academic, and postsecondary development
Examples of school outcomes: A safe, respectful, orderly, supportive classroom and school environment and learning-focused
culture where ALL students can excel academically by providing a range of instructional, academic, and behavior supports; A
classroom discipline and student support system that feels fair and supportive to students, effective to faculty, and supported by
administrators; A reduction in referrals and suspensions, generally, and in disproportionate referrals and suspensions for particular
groups of students; Increased family engagement

Key Program Strategies: As a State approved SES Provider, our goal is to aid schools in achieving student their learning goals. Digital handheld audio/video devices will be utilized and provided during student instruction in support of reading comprehension through recorded questions, fluency through modeling and math through real world applications. Groups of students will engage with learning Apps and with the tutor to increase skills in all subjects. Two students working together use the devices to pace for individual instruction. Pacing and repeat questions are particularly useful for ESL students. For those needing assistance in reading, Students and tutors access reading apps installed on the device and engage in book discussions and activities together to help improve reading fluency and word recognition by seeing and hearing the words. In groups of 2 to 4, students access audio books with the tutor and engage in book discussions, which also help to improve reading fluency and comprehension. For those needing assistance with math, students engage with the tutor and access math apps installed on the device to gain an understanding of concepts such as addition, subtraction, as well as fractions. While our first option is to use curriculum, software and tools available from schools, we also have many resources of our own including Houghton Mifflin SkillsTutor, www.skillstutor.com, Digital Education Software www.EASYESL.net and Apple iPod www.apple.com/ipod/

emotional, or behavioral support and will benefit from individual or family mental health services.
5. Program costs vary depending on the school's priorities, preferred scope of work and the number of students in need. Cost for a .4
FTE mental health provider is $38,600 including salary and benefits for the provider, site level operations and administrative
overhead costs, which equates to a target number of approximately 32 students receiving continual services with a shorter to
moderate intensity of support. Incrementally this would equate to approximately 8 students per .1 FTE/$9,650.
Results Achieved (Bullets or Brief Description):
Mental health services in schools, including those provided by Neighborcare, have been shown in studies and in practice to
reduce absences and improve academic readiness and performance.
Neighborcare's School-based Program continually reports on and meets all targets associated with SBHC Levy funding; including
state standardized test improvement, graduation rates, academically at-risk student identification, and SBHC user volumes.
In 2011, Neighborcare’s school-based program served 2,308 patients through 12,834 visits (51% were mental health visits). Among
the students served in 2011, 65% were non-white, 17% were uninsured, 6% were homeless, and 11% were English language learners.
There were 29 different languages reported by school-based patients in 2011.Of those patients with family income level
information on file, 68% were living below the federal poverty level (FPL) and 19% were living at or below 200% FPL. According to
the Levy data for the 2010-2011 school year, 58% of the students seen in Neighborcare’s SBHCs were enrolled in the free or
reduced price lunch (FRL) program.
In school year 2010-2011, out of the students using any SBHC or school nurse service in Seattle Public Schools, 1,230 12th graders
graduated (825 target) and 628 met MSP/HSPE standards that had not previously (175 target).
Neighborcare achieved all school-based grant targets in 2011, including funding measures associated with other site specific
program funding. Funding requirements set by the City of Seattle's Youth Mental Health Program were met, where 40 out of 48
27
students achieved goals associated with mental health delivery.

Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. Kindergarten Transition Support - Includes a 4 week, 4 hours/day, summer kindergarten readiness program for children and family
engagement activities. One lead teacher and two aides can serve 20 children at the cost of $13,435. Research shows a high
correlation between parent involvement and student success in school, therefore, our kindergarten transition support includes
engagement activities for families that we will develop in coordination with school staff and teachers. Additionally, we will share
our own culturally and linguistically appropriate kindergarten transition materials with school staff and other early learning
providers to ensure that families have access to as much information as possible before school begins.
2. Prevention Focused Case Management Support (students with early warning indicators)- Core services will include academic
coaching, attendance interventions, grade counseling, as well as individual counseling, and home visits with varying frequency
based on student need. Duration 1 year; 1-2 hours per month with youth, 1 hour every four months with parents. Service can be
provided to 25 youth per FTE at a cost of $74,933 for both Prevention and Intensive Case Management.
3. Intensive Case Management Support (students with high risk indicators including failing classes, chronic absences, substance
abuse, suspensions) - Core services will include academic coaching, attendance interventions, grade counseling, as well as
individual counseling, drug/alcohol support, and monthly home visits with varying frequency based on student need. Duration 2
years; 1-2 hours per week with youth, 1 hour per month with parents. Service can be provided to 25 youth per FTEat a cost of
$74,933 for both Prevention and Intensive Case Management.
4. School and Family Connections (including Transition Support) -Since 2003 Neighborhood House has worked in 10 schools
collaborating with school staff to help immigrant/refugee students and their parents. Services include individual work with youth
and parents to connect them to community resources, help them access and understand how to use The Source, educate them
on what to expect when transitioning, assist with communication, develop first language tools to increase learning at home,
provide behavioral assistanceand provide information on what children should be doing to succeed in school and how to
support learning at home.1 hr per week with students, 2-3 hours per month with parents. Services can be provided to
approximately 30-40 families per FTE at the cost of $44,397.
5. Partnerships with Schools: As the lead agency for the place based strategy called High Point PROMISE, we have spent several
years working intensively to understand the needs of the schools that our children attend and deepening our level of
collaboration, communication and alignment with their work. This has included a focus on communication, data sharing, and
coordination of services to improve academic outcomes. As part of this work, we currently have an approved memorandum of
understanding and a data sharing agreement with Seattle Public Schools. We also sit on the Intensive School Partnerships work
group, helping to lead district policies governing and guiding school and community partnerships. Additionally, we work with
district staff dedicated to increasing parent involvement and communication at Title One Schools to increase parent participation
29
in the education process.
Results Achieved (Bullets or Brief Description):
Case Management Support: For the past 5 years, Neighbhorhood House has been providing intensive case management services
to 50-60 high risk youth per year at Denny International and Aki Kurose Middle Schools. In the past two years, 96% of families
increased their level of connection to school; 89% of youth were connected to external support resources; 72% reduced the
number of classes they were failing; 60% improved their grades in math and 55% improved their grades in English. Program
evaluation has also reported that our services contributed to improvements in student behaviors, improved classroom
management and more timely behavior improvements.
Case Management Support: Neighborhood House anticipates that 72% of youth will reduce failing courses, 68% will improve
attendance and/or early warning indicators, and 48% will make progress on MAP reading and/or math assessments.
Kindergarten Transition Support: One-hundred percent of incoming kindergarten students served by Neighborhood House’s
Kindergarten Transition program at West Seattle Elementary School in 2011 were registered for kindergarten on-time as a result of
the assistance they received to help them complete the necessary paperwork and immunization forms.
Kindergarten Transition Support: Neighborhood House's Head Start programs focus on getting children kindergarten ready on
multiple levels. Our teachers ensure that children enter kindergarten with the knowledge and skills to be successful by using the
Teaching Strategies GOLD system that aligns with WaKIDS goals. We anticipate that 85% of the youth served will meet age level
expectations on WaKIDS.
School & Family Connections: In 2009-10, Neighborhood House worked with 3 other partners and district staff to serve 340
elementary students and their families through the Family and Community Engagement in Education program. This work resulted
in: 84% of the families served attending 2 or more academically focused family events; 66% of youth having less than 5 absences
during the 2nd semester; 7% of students increasing their MSP reading score and 12% increasing their MSP math score. We
anticipate that 78% of youth improving attendance, 50% of youth making progress on MAP reading and/or math, and 50% of ELL
youth will make gains on the WELPA.

Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. Learning Intervention - academic intervention for struggling readers. Overview: Collaborating with Teachers and Family Support
Workers, students who score significantly lower on the Reading MSP and/or reading MAP are targeted for our program and
receive supplemental reading support from a trained reading tutor for 30 minutes four days a week at school. Students receive
intensive individual instruction from the same reading tutor until they graduate out of the program. The tutors follow an explicit
curriculum that focuses on skills that are prerequisites for learning to read. Number of students: 18-36 per school. Cost: $41, 625 for
30 student spots/per year (Incremental= $1,387 per student)
2. After School - Engage students through expanded learning opportunities that focus on strengthening student esteem,
empowerment and expression. Overview: Powerful Schools offers a variety of school aligned after-school and summer classes
that are designed to promote the academic, social and emotional development of children. During the school year we provide
a site coordinator at each of our after-school sites to manage classes that are offered 2-3 times per week in two, one hour blocks.
Number of students: 75 students per session Cost: $20,250 (Incremental = $2,700 per 10 students served)
3. Tranistion & Readiness - prepare students/families for school and transition. Overview: Pre-K Approach- Identify low income & ELL
preschool students in the spring of their pre-K year that will likely need additional reading supports as they transition into and
through kindergarten. If these students matriculate to one of Powerful Schools Title 1 elementary school partners, they will be
targeted for early intervention and assessed for our Reading Intervention tutoring program—a 1:1 tutoring program that supports
the primary grade students who score the lowest on the State and District reading assessment test. 5th- Middle Approach- Powerful
Schools helps 5th graders and their families prepare for middle school through our Transition Nights, which provide an opportunity
for 5th graders and their families to ask questions to Powerful Schools alumni (now in middle school) about their middle school
experiences, while parents had a chance to engage with other parents and educators. Number of students: 50 students
Cost: Pre-K =$15,000 (Incremental = $1,500 per 5 students served) 5th-Middle= $9,375 (Incremental= $938 per 5 students served)
4. Support Family Engagement - Engage families and the community in supporting student learning; Empower families with the tools
they need to support their children’s academic success. Overview: Powerful Schools’ works with Family Support Workers to target
families for our multi-week series of family literacy classes designed to help parents, regardless of English proficiency, strengthen
their connection to their child’s school and learn ways to support their child’s education. The multi-week sessions start with a group
story sharing session. Through the sharing of stories, families quickly bond with other ELL Families, regardless of home language.
Number of students/participants: 50 Cost: $7,500 (Incremental= $750 per 5 students served).

Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. Reading Partners recruits and trains community volunteers to work with students using proven support strategies. At each school
site, Reading Partners transforms a dedicated space into a fully stocked reading center through which 40-100 volunteer tutors
cycle each week. Our student-tutor pairs work together for 45 minutes twice a week, following an Individualized Reading Plan
tailored to that student’s particular needs and strengths. To execute the plan, tutors use a structured and research-validated
curriculum. We assess students throughout the year to monitor their progress towards pre-established achievement goals and to
help advise tutors on how to best support their student. With close oversight and assistance from senior staff, a trained Site
Coordinator is stationed at each site to provide daily coaching to volunteers and to serve as a liaison to teachers and school staff.
Reading Partners complements in-school tutoring with home involvement strategies like the Take Reading Home program, which
provides free age- and skill-appropriate reading materials for students to start home libraries. During the 2012-2013 school year
Reading Partners will serve 4,905 students. Reading Partners will launch programming in Seattle beginning in September 2013. In its
first year, Reading Partners will serve up to 60 students on 4 school campuses to impact a total of 240 students overall. The cost for
each school site is $97,214. Reading Partners will leverage private donations and request $80,000 from the Seattle Levy Fund for
each school.

Results Achieved (Bullets or Brief Description):
Reading Partners has a strong track record of results and in 2011-2012 Reading Partners served 3,468 students nationally. Nearly
three in four (73%) Reading Partners target students finished the year closer to their target grade level, thereby narrowing the
achievement gap to their on-grade level peers. Moreover, 89% of students accelerated their rate of learning. To understand this
achievement, consider that before enrollment, Reading Partners students were gaining an average of only 0.6 months of reading
skills for every month in the classroom. With the supplementary instruction Reading Partners provides, students ended the year
gaining an average of 1.6 months of reading skills per month, more than doubling their rate of learning. Reading Partners is proud
that these measures of improvement have been very consistent for the past three years even while we have grown from 24
schools in 2009-10 to 67 schools in 2011-12.

Key Program Strategies (Please provide a brief overview of program strategies including number of students served and program costs):
1. Place a professional College Transition Navigator in the high school to work with a graduating cohort of seniors from January of
their senior year through to the second quarter of college, the following January.
2. In the spring of the Senior year, provide COMPASS prep and testing with follow-on (weekend) academic support for students with
low-level math and English skills, to accelerate their path to college-level classes.
3. Get graduating students (focusing on College Bound students) oriented to college life and prepared to succeed as college
students.
4. Ensure that these students receive timely academic advising regarding course selection and access to college services.
5. Students can receive incentives for participation in college navigation activities.
Results Achieved (Bullets or Brief Description):
At Chief Sealth and Cleveland HS, 40% of English/Math Boot Camp participants are able to move up one developmental class-
level prior to enrollment in college, greatly increasing their likelihood to persist and complete.
Analysis shows that participation in COMPASS prep improves placement accuracy for all students at all levels, reducing college
costs and increasing persistence.
Ninety percent of Sealth and Cleveland graduates who participated persisted to the end of their first year of college, much
higher than 69% retention rate for all South Seattle Community College students.
Students report that the help of the Navigator made it easier for them to transition to college and they appreciated the support.
Additional Notes:
The cost of providing these college navigation services to 50 graduating seniors is about $40,000 per high school per year. The Seattle
Colleges have additional resources to pay for student incentives. Please contact us for more information.
