“If you want to go beyond
something that will help your
kids to help all kids, if you want
to work on the bigger picture for
longer term results, you need
to get a whole bunch of people
together. That’s what Stand for
Children does.”

Improving Our
Communities’
Public Schools
Pro-teacher, Pro-student Reforms
In 2007, we achieved our first policy breakthrough in the area of
teaching effectiveness, leading a coalition to develop a strong new
educator mentoring program in Oregon, and winning a $5 million
legislative appropriation. As a result, in 2008-09 nearly 1,000 new
teachers and principals who work with roughly 75,000 students
are supported by carefully selected mentors following a nationally
proven curriculum.
While Stand for Children members work
on a range of issues, public education is a
top priority.
An excellent education prepares children
to become critical thinkers who contribute
to healthy families, stronger communities,
and a more just democracy.
Right now, America’s public education
system allows far too many children to
fall through the cracks and prevents too
many from excelling.
–High school graduation rates are
alarmingly low – and those who do
graduate are often poorly prepared for
family-wage jobs or college.
–Student achievement reflects deep racial
and economic inequities, and U.S.
students as a whole lag far behind their
peers in many other countries.
–Struggling students often don’t get
sufficient support, and students at or
above grade level don’t get the attention
or push they need to excel.
Our vision for K-12 public
education in America is this:
effective, empowered,
accountable educators in
well-funded, well-run public
schools where every child
grows, every year.
www.stand.org
In March 2008, Stand for Children helped achieve the first positive
reforms of the teacher hiring and transfer system in Portland Public
Schools in more than 20 years.
For years, Portland Public Schools relied on forced placement of
teachers, resulting in school-teacher mismatches, and high levels
of teacher, principal, and parent dissatisfaction. The district hired
teachers two to four months later than neighboring districts, resulting
in the loss of many good candidates.
“Every urban school district in
America needs a group like Stand
for Children. Stand’s thoughtful
approach to education policy,
your rigorous organizing methods,
and your ability to engage voters
in school reform are a unique and
powerful combination.”
Tim Daly,
President, The New Teacher Project
Through a strategic public engagement campaign, we convinced
the school district and teachers union to reach an agreement that
will allow Portland Public Schools – which serves close to 10% of
the state’s children – to compete more effectively for teaching candidates and help ensure that every child in Portland has the best
teacher possible.
Effective Community Engagement
– Started with long-held concerns of parents, teachers, and principals,
confirmed by data compiled by the New Teacher Project documenting deep flaws in the system
– Crafted common-sense reform proposal in dialogue with dozens of
teachers, principals, and parents
– Met in person with 150 teachers in 43 schools, more than 80% of
whom endorsed our proposal
– H
eld 12 community house parties attended by over 200 people
– S
ecured editorial support and news coverage
– C
ollected more than 1,000 signatures endorsing our proposal
A Message from Stand’s
Chief Executive Officer
A Three-Year Strategy for
Increased Impact
In December 2008, the Boards of
Directors of Stand for Children
Leadership Center and Stand for
Children adopted an ambitious
three-year strategic plan to
expand our reach and impact.
We are living in a time of tremendous suffering and
great challenges.
And yet we have an opportunity to move our society
closer to being the beloved community that Martin Luther
King, Jr. envisioned.
From our nation’s founding, to the Civil War, to the
Great Depression, to World War II and its aftermath and
then the Civil Rights Movement, peril bred progress –
because ordinary Americans stepped up.
I. S
trengthen existing state
affiliates.
Stand for Children affiliates in Massachusetts,
Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington State
will increase our impact for children by
mobilizing a significantly greater number
of citizen advocates to achieve education
reforms that research indicates matter most.
President Obama and the team he has assembled will lead well. Not perfectly, but well and
certainly boldly. But whether this time of great peril becomes an era of vital progress depends
as much on whether we step up, as our forebears did, as on President Obama’s leadership.
Progress depends on whether we embrace change.
Will we embrace long overdue changes in our public schools? Demanding federal but
also state and local changes that improve the quality of teaching by paying, supporting,
and evaluating teachers like professionals rather than assembly line workers. Demanding
changes that give school leaders more resources and autonomy to enable their schools to
educate students to high levels based on their specific strengths and challenges. Demanding changes that significantly expand the amount of learning time, particularly in poor
performing schools.
Progress depends on whether we embrace change as donors, giving more of our money (at
a time when we all have less of it) to organizations like Stand for Children that are at the
forefront of fighting for key changes, and as taxpayers, insisting elected officials invest
more in effective government programs and eliminate programs that don’t work.
And finally, progress depends on whether we embrace change as citizen and community
leaders, giving more of our time and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones in order
to lead at a higher level.
Progress depends on whether each of us is the change we seek.
It’s time for each and every one of us to go all out for change, for your community, for
your state, and for the nation. No holds barred. No excuses. No fear.
If we do, today’s peril can breed tomorrow’s progress, for children, for families, for all of us.
Thank you so much for your tremendous support this part year, and thank you for all
you’ll do to help Stand for Children take advantage of this rare window of opportunity to
achieve progress.
Jonah Edelman
Chief Executive Officer
“I’m so proud to be the Chair
of an organization that is boldly
independent and results
oriented, entrepreneurial and
focused on citizen empowerment.
Stand for Children is a catalyst
for education reforms at a time
when our public schools are
urgently in need of improvement.”
Gun Denhart,
Stand for Children Board Chair
II. Launch 6 new state affiliates.
Stand for Children will add affiliates in six
states where:
–We can effect important education
reforms in the short term
–We can build and sustain a strong
statewide organization
– We have a clear niche
III. P
osition for federal policy
impact.
By 2012, Stand will develop the capacity
to contribute significantly to strategically
selected federal policy improvements and/
or investments. Over the next three years,
we’ll develop national relationships and
on-line organizing capacity while paying
close attention to ways our members can
make a difference through federal action.

2008 Accomplishments
While a difficult economy and election year politics kept us from securing a fourth
consecutive year of new funding for Pre-K, we succeeded in generating more revenue to
improve school facilities statewide and won another expansion of a successful drop-out
prevention program in Nashville:
–Improved school facilities Helped secure the release of $100 million in lottery funds
to create the Energy Efficient Schools Initiative, which will provide zero-interest loans
to school districts building energy-efficient facilities.
–Addressed school drop-out rates Convinced the Metro Nashville School District to
expand the Make a Change drop-out prevention program, which provides an alternative
to out-of-school suspensions and addresses root causes of behavior problems, to three
more Nashville schools serving an additional 700 students annually.
Championing a bill that would result in
the bottom 10% of Tennessee’s teachers
and principals not being re-hired after
their second year and the bottom 10%
to be ineligible for tenure (in the case
of teachers) or re-hire (in the case of
principals) after their third year without
a successful petition. The innovative
bill also calls for the Department of
Education to develop a two-year teacher
and principal induction proposal and a
comprehensive teacher compensation
reform proposal.
–State K-12 funding reform Continuing
to advocate for full funding for the
Basic Education Program – the state’s
school funding formula.
–Pre-K Maintaining state support for
pre-K during the downturn.
–Friends of Metro Schools Leading
a coalition of Nashville community
residents and organizations working to
make education a top priority during
state and local budget processes.
–Alternative discipline programs
Advocating for implementation of the
Make A Change program in more Nashville schools to address root causes of
behavior problems.

of whom had never worked on a political campaign - volunteered 441 hours at phone
banks and canvasses, reaching 5,832 voters in five communities.
– Mobilized and energized members with our First Annual Statewide Conference
Members from all chapters came together to launch our 2009 Legislative Agenda.
Following a keynote address by Rep. Ross Hunter, members attended workshops on
effective grassroots advocacy skills and key education policy issues. Conference
attendees left with clear next steps for advancing our legislative priorities.
“For those of us who recognize that Washington State woefully
underfunds its schools and lacks the kind of policymaking that other
states aspire to, the advocacy landscape has felt inadequate.
Stand for Children is filling a void by bringing the voice of parents to
Olympia and to local school districts. Stand members are motivated,
activated, and knowledgeable.”
Laura Kohn, The New School Foundation Executive Director,
Washington Stand for Children Advisory Board Member
To minimize harm and position Washington
schools for progress during these tough
economic times, Stand members are advocating for:
–Rigorous educational standards
Promoting an updated definition of
basic education that fits our current
world and prepares our students for
life, work, and college; increasing high
school graduation requirements to 24
core credits.
–Educator preparation Winning
continued funding for research-based
mentorship and support for new
teachers through Washington’s Teacher
Assistance Program.
–Data systems that improve learning
A new data system linking student
achievement to financial and educator
data to ensure our students are progressing well at each grade level.
–Educator recruitment and
compensation Advocating for
best-practice reforms to attract strong
candidates to enter the teaching profession, and to improve the way teachers
are evaluated and compensated.

Stand for Children
Finances
Stand for Children is a 501(c)(4) membership organization that uses the power of
grassroots action to help all children get the excellent public education and support they
need to thrive.
Because donations to Stand for Children are not tax deductible, it is more challenging to
support this organization. In 2008, we met and exceeded our expenses by raising a record
$578,000 in total revenue, a 53% increase from the prior year. Membership comprised
$239,000 of total Stand for Children revenue during 2008.
