Mission/Vision Statement Stokes School’s mission is as follows: The Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School prepares 350 culturally diverse elementary school students in the District of Columbia to be leaders, scholars and responsible citizens who are committed to social justice. Stokes teaches children to think, speak, read, write and learn in two languages: English and French or English and Spanish. With a dual focus on academic excellence and community service, the Stokes School accomplishes its mission by creating an environment of achievement, respect and non-violence. B. School Program Curriculum Design and Instructional Approach The Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School maintains a nurturing environment where culturally diverse faculty and staff model compassion, fairness, service to others, enthusiasm for learning, and the capacity to contribute to and thrive within a community setting. In our work with students, Stokes School prepares young learners to challenge national and international academic standards, to navigate successfully within their own communities and within the cultures of others, and to function as responsible citizens and leaders. The Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School is committed to excellence in all areas. Our rigor, high standards, and inquiry-based curriculum broaden scholars’ world-view and develop higher order thinking skills. This past school year we adopted Investigations Mathematics and Units of Study in Writing in order to begin a process of tightening the alignment of instruction vertically across the school. Both of these curricula allow for multiple access points to concepts and skills, allowing for student choice, inquiry and maximizing opportunities for student growth. Teachers strive to help all students achieve at their highest capacity and develop a passion for learning. Teachers aim to accommodate individual needs and differentiate instruction for all the various learning styles and abilities and to capitalize on students’ strengths. A key factor in creating the best learning environment for students is team teaching with small class sizes and a learning specialist assigned to each grade level. Providers of special education and related services most often deliver those services to small groups within classrooms. Our Curriculum is thematic and unit-based, following the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and Language Arts, the DC Standards for Social Studies and Physical Education, and we are transitioning Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 3 to the Next Generation Science Standards. We follow national standards in Art and Music. Scholars learn all content areas in both French and English or Spanish and English. Topics are explored in depth through trimester themes so that students find meaning from their own experiences. Instruction occurs via multiple modalities using minilessons, guided reading, small group projects, cooperative learning, choice boards, and learning centers, often involving technology. Interdisciplinary learning is most often achieved through hands-on projects where students work with manipulative materials, apply skills to problem solving, and learn to communicate the results of their efforts in a variety of formats. Each thematic unit has clearly identified focus questions, learning goals for students, and assessments that are aligned with standards. Pre-K-6th grade curriculum mapping creates a natural progression of skills that build upon one another over the years. Each thematic unit is celebrated with showcases to share learning with families and the community.\ Stokes School’s dual language immersion program prepares students to speak, read, write, and think in two languages: English and French, or English and Spanish. Literacy instruction and content instruction are delivered in both languages. Pre-kindergarten students spend 90 percent of their instructional time learning in each language, while kindergarten through sixth grade students spend half of their instructional time in each language. All lessons have both content and language objectives. Scholars at Stokes develop a balanced bilingual ability and are able demonstrate their abilities before graduation on study tours to Martinique and Panama. Parent Engagement Stokes School recognizes parents as the most important advocates for their children. Through monthly parents meetings focusing on topics such as "Bullying 101" and "Effective Communication: How Parents Can Act and Talk to Increase Positive Responses in Children," we aim to empower our parents with the information and resources that they will need to raise responsible adults. We also sponsor Open Classroom sessions where parents can learn about and see the implementation of new curricular programs such as, “Investigations Math” and “Units of Study for Teching Writing.” We host a Family Math Night which shows parents how to teach math skills through the use of board games, musical instruments, art projects, utensils in the kitchen and trips to the store. Stokes School aims to empower parents as they work to help their children to succeed. Throughout the year, Stokes School specifically aims to involve our parents within all aspects of our learning community. During our First Day Celebration, parents are invited to participate in our back-toschool parade and we then have a Q&A session for them with the Stokes School's administrators concerning the upcoming school year. Back-to-School Night allows parents to see what it is like to spend a Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 4 day in their children's shoes, as they visit classrooms, sit at their children's desks, and meet their teachers. At the end of each trimester, parents are invited to attend grade level showcases, which are learning showcases led by students. Each trimester, parents also meet with their children's teachers for one-on-one conferences or whole class meetings concerning each student's progress over the past trimester and goals for the next. Since 2012, , in collaboration with the Flamboyan Foundation, Stokes School has instituted home visits by teachers at the start of the school year in which parents and teachers discuss expectations, develop a strong relationship and review parent-led goals for their children for the year. About half of our classes also participate in the Academic Parent Teacher Team (APTT) model for parent teacher conferences, where parents review their children’s progress toward meeting key curricular goals each trimester, set goals for the next trimester and parents learn strategies for supporting and encouraging their children’s academic progress at home. Parents as Leaders Parents play significant roles within the Stokes School community at every level, as volunteers, teachers, administrators, and board members. At Stokes School, we value parents as leaders and seek to involve parents in shaping the direction of our school improvement efforts. In 2013, parents elected to establish a Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Throughout the school year the PTA met monthly to discuss how they can better support the school through fund-raisers and to provide leadership and support for many of the school’s activities and initiatives. Their fundraising efforts led to a long-desired wish to sound proof the school dining room; an effort that has been appreciated by all parties: students, parents and school staff. We have a Room Parent Coordinator who keeps the classroom Room Parents informed and engaged not only in the classroom but throughout the school building. Each month a different grade level will sponsor ‘First Fridays’ which is a continental breakfast coordinated by the Room Parents for teachers, parents and staff to gather and chat informally before the beginning of the school day. In addition, our parents are asked to participate on school committees such as the school discipline committee and the ELL parent group. Parent Support Stokes School seeks to support parents and families within our community in a variety of ways. All Stokes School parents have access to the Parent Resource Center, which provides computer access and resources on everything from supporting your child’s education to job hunting. School Psychologist, Dr. Willa Jones, facilitates monthly Parent Enrichment Program meetings, which offer support in developing parenting skills. Stokes School offers a Saturday Academy, which provides parents with the opportunity to study another language – French, Spanish, or English – in order to increase their own language skills or to prepare them to help their children with their schoolwork.

Performance and Progress Progress toward Mission We strive to embody our mission throughout all of our school initiatives both within and outside of the classroom. Our mission guides our school-wide initiatives, school events, family engagement efforts, and improvement plans. The following programs and methodologies show evidence of our constant effort to embody our mission: Community Service Learning: In order to develop “leaders, scholars and responsible citizens who are committed to social justice,” we embed community service learning within trimester projects. Scholars think about how the topic they are learning about matters and what they can do about it within their community (local or global). Project/Inquiry-based instruction: Our method of instruction, which we are continually striving to enhance, is based on student inquiry around a central idea. For example, students learn mathematics through inquiry around problems, games and activities to develop conceptual understanding of a key mathematical concept. Student Leadership opportunities: Stokes scholars are invited to take leadership roles within the school such as on our Student Government and they are asked to represent our school in the outside community in multiple ways such as through our school choir, school musical or Steel Drum Band. Bullying Prevention Program: Our School Psychologist supports classroom teachers with bullying prevention programming within the classroom in order to support students in developing empathy and caring for others. Diversity of staff/families & international focus of instruction: Our faculty and staff represent a diversity of backgrounds in terms of language, ethnicity, country of origin, etc... This allows us to foster respect and appreciation for others within our scholars. In addition, this allows us to integrate an international focus within the classroom and for school wide celebrations, such as Francophonie Month. Dual-Language Immersion Program Development: Our hallmark is our Dual Language Immersion Program. Our scholars learn another language (French, Spanish or English) through the content that is being taught in the classroom. We approach literacy learning in both languages through a balanced approach in which children learn to read, write, speak and think by writing about what matters to them, reading texts that interest them and are on their level, and integrating discussion in all lessons. Progress toward Goals and Academic Achievement Expectations Stokes School holds itself accountable to a variety of goals, as outlined in our charter. These goals and progress toward these goals are detailed in the following chart: Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 7 Elsie Whitlow Stokes PCS - Goals and Academic Achievement Expectations At each grade level, 4th-5th grade students will demonstrate increasing reading proficiency in English, as indicated by a median growth percentile of 50% or above on the state standardized test. 80% of 5th grade students will score at the proficient level (≥50/100), as measured by the Diplome d’etudes en langue francaise (DELF) or Diplome de Espanol (DELE) proficiency and growth scores for French and Spanish, respectively.

Lessons Learned and Actions Taken Consistent with its Race to the Top plan, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education has identified five levels of schools, based on student performance: Priority, Focus, Developing, Rising and Reward Schools. Stokes has been named as a Rising School. As a result, Stokes will receive professional development and ongoing guidance and technical assistance from OSSE. Stokes continues to review and analyze its total academic program to identify areas needing improvement. As a result, during 2013-14, Stokes School focused on these programs, areas and activities to enhance the academic program and student improvement: Adoption of two new curricula: Investigations Mathematics and Units of Study in Writing, in order to develop consistency across the school and enhance the use of best practices for student-centered instruction. Professional development supported this transition throughout the school year. Implementing and refinement of our performance-based compensation system. Expansion of the Flamboyan Foundation family engagement model. Implementation of enhanced instructional supports for English Language Learners and increased efforts to engage low-performing ELL students in out-of-school time remedial and enrichment education activities. We applied for and were granted funding to support two part-time instructional support positions and the purchase of a reading intervention program for the 2014-15 school year. A teacher leader began to take on literacy coaching duties in order to enhance our reading and writing program and will continue in this role full time for the 2014-15 school year. Piloting of a signature assignment (curriculum-aligned assessment) data cycle for tracking student growth across the school on authentic assessments. We have started the IB PYP (International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program) application as a part of our strategic plan. This will allow for alignment with recognized international standards for high quality academic programs. Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School 2014-15 Annual Report Page 9 C.
