DescKW in Schools:From its inception, KnowledgeWorks has focused on creating personalized learning environments that engage students and help each individual thrive in college, career and civic life. Four years ago KnowledgeWorks entered the national conversation about personalized, competency-based learning (PCBL) behind a concentration of thoughtful policy briefs focused on federal policy reform, aligned advocacy, and partner engagement. This body of work, combined with over 15 years of on-the-ground experience in innovative school design, implementation, continuous improvement and collective impact, quickly established KnowledgeWorks as a thought leader and trusted resource for policymakers and other organizations launching statewide and local PCBL initiatives. These leaders are now turning to KnowledgeWorks for support bringing to life the PCBL communities that their policies have enabled. As a result, in FY17 KnowledgeWorks continued to move from policy to practice in the PCBL space. The organization continued to develop a technical assistance approach and tested this approach in two pilot sites across the country. Third-party evaluator, RMC, provided baseline and formative data from the pilot sites in Augusta, Maine and Marysville, Ohio. Lessons learned through the analysis of interventions and outcomes in these sites will guide the design and implementation of KnowledgeWorks' new portfolio of PCBL products and services. By the close of FY17, the personalized learning and CBE team were working on implementation projects in Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina and Minnesota, suggesting strong demand for personalized learning and PCBL services in FY18 and beyond.Desc

$2,749,972$309,077$13,750Policy & Strategic Foresight:In fiscal year 2017, KnowledgeWorks worked closely with policymakers, national organizations, and other education stakeholders to drive demand for personalized learning, especially with regard to the passing of Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Throughout the year, KnowledgeWorks worked deeply with several state departments of education and additional state-level constituents including our home state of Ohio, Minnesota, South Carolina, Kentucky, North Dakota, Texas, and Indiana; on aligning strategies to provide districts with the flexibility to scale personalized learning. At the federal level, KnowledgeWorks worked closely with USED on shaping the regulations to support the implementation of ESSA. KnowledgeWorks also released several pieces of guidance to help states leverage the opportunities in the law to design education systems that align accountability, school improvement, assessment, educator workforce, and extended learning opportunity policies to create a cohesive system that prepares all students for success from cradle to career. KnowledgeWorks published a presidential transition memo focused on scaling personalized and competency-based learning. Additionally, the policy team received a grant from Nellie Mae Education Foundation to focus on innovative assessment. KnowledgeWorks continued to exercise national thought leadership around the future of learning through publications, partnerships, and stakeholder engagements. Key publications and presentations were aligned to KnowledgeWorks' fourth comprehensive forecast on the future of learning launched the previous fiscal year, The Future of Learning: Education in the Era of Partners in Code. Aligned to the forecast, the team hosted implications workshops focused on K-12, postsecondary, and the informal learning space. These workshops spawned aligned publications including strategy guides for K-12 educators. KnowledgeWorks hosted a student design competition called, Imagine FutureEd and launched a publication entitled, Redefining Readiness.

ExplanationThe Foundation has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the IRS and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Foundation believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Foundation's financial position, statement of activities, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Foundation has not recorded any reserves or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2017 and 2016. In the event interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits, the Foundation would recognize such amounts as a component of income tax expense.ExplanationTxt
