Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 RIVERDALE COUNTRY SCHOOL IS A PRE-K THROUGH GRADE 12 INDEPENDENT SCHOOL IN NEW YORK CITY COMMITTED TO EMPOWERING LIFELONG LEARNERS BY DEVELOPING MINDS, BUILDING CHARACTER, AND CREATING COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO CHANGE OUR WORLD FOR THE GOOD. OUR IDEA OF LEARNING AND LIVING WITH PURPOSE IS INTRODUCED TO THE PRE-K STUDENT AND NURTURED THROUGH EACH SUCCESSIVE YEAR. IN EVERYTHING WE DO, WE BALANCE TRADITIONAL LEARNING WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STRATEGIES. WE SEE GREAT INNOVATORS TRANSFORMING SOCIETY BY RETHINKING AND REDESIGNING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE AT AN EVER FASTER RATE. WE GIVE STUDENTS THE CONFIDENCE TO DEVELOP INDEPENDENCE, KNOW HOW TO ASK GOOD QUESTIONS, ADAPT TO CHANGE, SOLVE PROBLEMS, MAKE OPPORTUNITY, AND BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE. OUR GOAL IS ALWAYS TO ENGAGE THE MIND, BUILD CHARACTER, AND ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY BECAUSE RIVERDALE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A SCHOOL, IT IS PREPARATION FOR LIFE. AT RIVERDALE, WE KNOW THAT LEARNING IS DIFFICULT. IT IS RATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL. IT CAN PROCEED SEQUENTIALLY; IT CAN ALSO HAPPEN SERENDIPITOUSLY, AS THE RESULT OF AN UNEXPECTED EXPERIENCE, AN UNLIKELY CONVERGENCE, A NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT INFORMATION. LEARNING CAN BE ILLUMINATING AND INSPIRING AS WELL AS UNSETTLING. INCREASINGLY, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT LEARNING IMPROVES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTER STRENGTHS AND WHAT PSYCHOLOGIST CAROL DWECK HAS TERMED A "GROWTH MINDSET." THE VIA INSTITUTE OF CHARACTER IDENTIFIES 24 CHARACTER STRENGTHS. AT RIVERDALE, WE EMPHASIZE SEVEN: GRIT, OPTIMISM, SELF-CONTROL, CURIOSITY, ZEST, GRATITUDE, AND SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BY DEVELOPING THESE QUALITIES, STUDENTS IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, RELATIONSHIPS, AND OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE. THEY DEVELOP PURPOSE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A AT RIVERDALE, WE RELY ON A POWERFUL MODEL BASED ON GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN THREE KEY AREAS: MIND, CHARACTER AND COMMUNITY. WE ARE INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO DEVELOP STUDENTS WHO HAVE MINDS THAT UNDERSTAND CHANGE, CHARACTER THAT CAN CREATE CHANGE, AND A COMMUNITY THAT EMBRACES CHANGE. THAT IS OUR MISSION. WITHIN EACH CATEGORY WE STRIVE TO CREATE AMBITIOUS PROGRAMS THAT BENEFIT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AT RIVERDALE, WE CONSIDER CHARACTER TO BE COMPRISED OF SKILLS THAT DEVELOP THROUGH RELATIONSHIPS, CHALLENGES, AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. SOME OF THE CHARACTER STRENGTHS THAT WE PROMOTE IN OUR STUDENTS ARE: O CURIOSITY O GRATITUDE O GRIT O OPTIMISM O SELF-CONTROL O SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE O ZEST MIND CHARACTER COMMUNITY THESE ARE WORDS THAT GUIDE US EVERY DAY AT RIVERDALE. HOW WE LEARN, WHO WE ARE, AND HOW WE INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED IN THE RIVERDALE EXPERIENCE. IN DEVELOPING MINDS, WE ASK STUDENTS TO: O THINK CREATIVELY, CRITICALLY, FLEXIBLY, AND ACROSS DISCIPLINES O READ ACTIVELY O ASK GOOD QUESTIONS, ANALYZE PROBLEMS AND CONSTRUCT STRONG ARGUMENTS IN BUILDING CHARACTER, WE ASK STUDENTS TO: O DEMONSTRATE CURIOSITY, ZEST, GRATITUDE, SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE, EMPATHY, SELF-CONTROL, GRIT, AND OPTIMISM O ACT WISELY AND ETHICALLY O IMPROVE ONE'S HEALTH & FITNESS IN CREATING COMMUNITY, WE ASK STUDENTS TO: O EXPLORE ACTIVITIES O PUT IDEAS INTO ACTION O BECOME CHANGE-MAKERS CHARACTER EDUCATION WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A CHANGE-MAKER IN OUR SOCIETY? HOW DO SELF-MADE MEN AND WOMEN MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEMSELVES? SOCIAL SCIENTISTS THINK THE ANSWER MAY LIE IN "CHARACTER" - ATTRIBUTES SUCH AS OPTIMISM, HONESTY, GRIT, AND SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE THAT HELP PEOPLE OVERCOME DIFFICULTY, ADAPT TO CHANGE, AND PARTICIPATE MEANINGFULLY IN GROUPS. LED BY HEAD OF SCHOOL DOMINIC A. A. RANDOLPH, RIVERDALE HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF A MOVEMENT THAT IS EXAMINING THE IMPORTANCE OF CHARACTER STRENGTHS TO ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL SUCCESS. RANDOLPH AND MORE THAN A DOZEN LEADERS IN PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, AND PUBLIC POLICY CONTRIBUTED ESSAYS TO THE CHARACTER AND OPPORTUNITY PROJECT PUBLISHED BY THE CENTER ON CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AT THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTE. ALONG WITH ANGELA DUCKWORTH, A PSYCHOLOGIST AND 2013 MACARTHUR FELLOW KNOWN FOR HER RESEARCH ON GRIT, AND DAVE LEVIN, A RIVERDALE ALUMNUS AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE KIPP PUBLIC SCHOOLS, RANDOLPH CO-FOUNDED CHARACTER LAB TO PROMOTE RESEARCH-BASED APPROACHES TO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT INNOVATIVE WORK IN SCHOOLS. RIVERDALE'S CURRICULAR AND CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN CHARACTER SKILLS THROUGH CHALLENGING AND ENGAGING ACADEMIC WORK, MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS THAT BUILD SELF-AWARENESS AND RESPECT FOR THE IDEAS AND NEEDS OF OTHERS, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPLORATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICE TO HELP STUDENTS FIND HOW THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. DESIGN THINKING DESIGN THINKING IS A PROBLEM-SOLVING METHODOLOGY THAT EMPHASIZES CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION, AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE. USED INCREASINGLY IN BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND CONSULTING, DESIGN THINKING IS NOW TAUGHT IN TOP UNIVERSITIES AROUND THE WORLD. IN 2007, RIVERDALE BEGAN EXPLORING HOW WE COULD TEACH AND USE "DESIGN THINKING" WITH OUR FACULTY AND STUDENTS. WE BEGAN TALKS WITH A LEADER IN DESIGN, IDEO, TO CREATE A "TOOLKIT FOR EDUCATORS" IN ORDER TO BRING DESIGN THINKING TO SCHOOLS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. THIS RESULTED IN THE DESIGN THINKING TOOLKIT FOR EDUCATORS, NOW IN ITS SECOND VERSION HAVING BEEN DOWNLOADED OVER 50,000 TIMES IN MORE THAN 120 COUNTRIES. IN 2012, RIVERDALE RECEIVED AN E.E. FORD LEADERSHIP GRANT IN ORDER TO FURTHER THIS WORK WHICH RESULTED IN AN ONLINE COURSE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH IDEO AND EDUTOPIA, A NEW VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT, AND A CONFERENCE WELCOMING MORE THAN 350 PEOPLE TO RIVERDALE. WE CONTINUE TO USE DESIGN THINKING IN ALL THAT WE DO AS WE LOOK TO REDESIGN THE RIVERDALE EXPERIENCE AND THE EXPERIENCE OF STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS. INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING IS A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF EVERY STUDENT'S EDUCATION AT RIVERDALE. DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES ARE PERMEABLE IN MANY SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CURRICULUM, BUT THE FINAL TWO YEARS PROVIDE A TRULY SUSTAINED AND DEEPLY REINFORCED EXPOSURE TO A KIND OF THINKING THAT MOST STUDENTS MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT ENCOUNTER EVEN IN COLLEGE. MAKING ANALOGIES AND DESCRIBING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN QUITE DIFFERENT MODES OF KNOWING, THINKING, MAKING, AND BEING IS NOT EASY. LEARNING TO THINK IN THIS SPECIAL WAY REQUIRES A HIGH DEGREE OF ANALYTICAL SKILL AND REPEATED EXPOSURE, TRAINING, AND PRACTICE OVER A LONG PERIOD. IT ALSO DEMANDS INTELLECTUAL MATURITY. IN THEIR JUNIOR YEAR, ALL RIVERDALE STUDENTS TAKE CONSTRUCTING AMERICA, A TWO-CREDIT AMERICAN STUDIES COURSE JOINTLY TAUGHT BY A HISTORY AND AN ENGLISH TEACHER. FOR THE FIRST TIME, STUDENTS ARE REGULARLY INVITED TO READ LITERATURE THROUGH THE LENS OF ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS AND THEORIES, AND TO EXPLORE THE INTERSECTION OF CULTURAL HEROES, LITERARY CHARACTERS, AND NATIONAL MYTHOLOGIES. THEY GAIN A FEEL FOR LIVING HISTORY AS CAREFULLY CHOSEN LITERATURE FLESHES OUT THE SOCIAL CHANGES AND THE THREADS OF CONSEQUENCE THAT GIVE HISTORY ITS SPECIFIC CHARACTER. SOMETIMES THEY SEE CONNECTIONS NOT ONLY BETWEEN A STORY AND A HISTORICAL EVENT BUT ALSO BETWEEN HISTORICAL ERAS IN THEIR SUCCESSION AND CORRESPONDING TRANSFORMATIONS IN LITERARY EXPRESSION. SUCH LEARNING INEVITABLY STRENGTHENS STUDENTS' ABILITIES TO THINK ABSTRACTLY AND ANALYTICALLY. IN SENIOR YEAR, INTEGRATED LIBERAL STUDIES (ILS), STRETCHES THE CAPACITIES DEVELOPED IN CONSTRUCTING AMERICA. TWO DISCIPLINES EXPAND TO FIVE: LITERATURE, PHILOSOPHY, HISTORY OF SCIENCE, HISTORY OF ART, AND HISTORY OF MUSIC. FIVE MAJOR ESSAY ASSIGNMENTS ARE DESIGNED TO ENGAGE STUDENTS IN FINDING A THESIS THAT WILL TIE TOGETHER ASPECTS OF POLITICAL THEORY AND ART, OR LITERATURE AND SCIENTIFIC THEORY, AND SO ON. THE READINGS ARE SOPHISTICATED TEXTS OF CENTRAL CULTURAL IMPORTANCE, AND IF SOME STUDENTS FIND THE WORK CHALLENGING AT FIRST, THEY ALL EXPERIENCE A GROWTH IN THE FLEXIBILITY AND CREATIVITY OF THEIR THOUGHT PROCESSES BY VIRTUE OF THE EFFORT. AS MORE THAN ONE STUDENT HAS SAID, "ILS ACTUALLY TEACHES YOU HOW TO THINK." UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS SPEND HOURS SITTING AT DESKS. HOW COMFORTABLE THEY ARE AFFECTS HOW WELL THEY LEARN. RIVERDALE HAS EQUIPPED MANY OF ITS CLASSROOMS WITH THE NODE CHAIR DESIGNED BY IDEO FOR STEELCASE. AN EXAMPLE OF DESIGN THINKING, THE CHAIR WAS DEVELOPED BY RESEARCHING AND UNDERSTANDING THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS. LIVING MINDFULLY YOUNG PEOPLE LIVE IN A STRESSFUL AND UNCERTAIN WORLD WITH CONFUSING MESSAGES ABOUT THE MEANING OF SUCCESS. IN ADDITION TO OUR EMPHASIS ON CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, RIVERDALE HELPS STUDENTS DEVELOP AN AWARENESS OF THEIR PERSONAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING THROUGH ITS ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC PROGRAMS, CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS, STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS. WE ENCOURAGE AND MODEL BALANCED NUTRITION, PERSONAL FITNESS, CONNECTION TO NATURE, AND STRESS MANAGEMENT. WE PROVIDE PARENT EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO GIVE OUR FAMILIES STRATEGIES FOR RAISING RESPONSIBLE CHILDREN. WE CREATE A CULTURE WHERE STUDENTS KNOW THEMSELVES AND HAVE TOOLS FOR FINDING PERSONAL BALANCE. SUSTAINABILITY RIVERDALE IS ENDOWED WITH IMPRESSIVE RESOURCES: SPACIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS, WELL-EQUIPPED BUILDINGS, AND INVALUABLE HUMAN RESOURCES: FACULTY AND STAFF, STUDENTS AND FAMILIES, A LOYAL AND EXTENSIVE ALUMNI NETWORK. MANAGING AND PROTECTING THESE RESOURCES IS VITAL TO THE FUTURE OF THE SCHOOL. THAT MEANS FINDING EFFICIENCIES IN HOW WE OPERATE, REVIEWING AND UPDATING CURRICULUM TO MAKE SURE THAT IT MEETS THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS, AND INVESTING IN NEW TOOLS AND IDEAS THAT MOVE US AS AN INSTITUTION INTO THE FUTURE. RIVERDALE IS COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY: TEACHING IT AND LIVING IT. RIVERDALE AND 10 OTHER NEW YORK CITY INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS WERE EARLY SIGNERS OF THE GREEN SCHOOL LEADERSHIP COMMITMENT PLEDGE OF THE GREEN SCHOOLS ALLIANCE. SINCE 2007, THE SCHOOL HAS REDUCED ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT BY 40%, AND WE HOPE TO REDUCE IT BY ANOTHER 5 TO 10 PERCENT THIS YEAR THROUGH INSTALLING A NATURAL GAS, HIGH EFFICIENCY BOILER AT THE HILL CAMPUS. WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER WAYS TO CONSERVE RESOURCES AND STREAMLINE OUR OPERATIONS; THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR THE SCHOOL. SUSTAINABILITY ALSO IS A THREAD THROUGHOUT THE CURRICULUM. IN THE UPPER SCHOOL, STUDENTS HAVE UNDERTAKEN INDEPENDENT PROJECTS THAT EXAMINE THE CONSUMPTION OF RESOURCES. AMONG THEM: O CONDUCTING FULL ENERGY SURVEYS OF BUILDINGS O PARTICIPATING IN ANALYSIS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF WIND POWER O CONDUCTING A SITE ANALYSIS FOR A GREENHOUSE O DESIGNING RECYCLING CONTAINERS FOR THE SCHOOL O RESEARCHING COMPOSTING ALTERNATIVES FOR FOOD WASTE EVERYONE AT RIVERDALE - OUR FACULTY, STUDENTS, PARENTS, ADMINISTRATORS, DINING SERVICES STAFF, GROUNDS STAFF, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES STAFF, AND MAINTENANCE EMPLOYEES - IS COMMITTED TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A RIVERDALE IS A GREAT SCHOOL THAT BENEFITS FROM COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER GREAT CIVIC, EDUCATIONAL, AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS IN NEW YORK, ACROSS THE NATION, AND THE GLOBE. HERE IS A LIST OF THE PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH: ACADEMY FOR TEACHERS THE MASTER CLASSES BRING TEACHERS TOGETHER WITH NEW YORK CITY'S MOST BRILLIANT AND CREATIVE MINDS. THESE CLASSES ARE HOSTED BY THE CITY'S GREAT ACADEMIC AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS. MASTER CLASSES ARE SELECTIVE. TEACHERS ARE NOMINATED BY FELLOW EDUCATORS WHO KNOW THEIR WORK WELL. TEACHERS SELECTED TO ATTEND A MASTER CLASS BECOME FELLOWS OF THE ACADEMY AND JOIN A GROWING COMMUNITY OF OUR CITY'S MOST BRILLIANT EDUCATORS. MASTER CLASSES LAST A DAY. THEY ARE RIGOROUS AND ADDRESS ISSUES OF CONTENT AND OF PEDAGOGY. IN THE MORNING, TEACHERS WORK WITH THE "MASTER." IN THE AFTERNOON, THEY SHARE TEACHING STRATEGIES AND THEIR BEST LESSON PLANS WITH EACH OTHER. BOTH PARTS OF THE DAY ARE HIGHLY PRIZED. AS ONE TEACHER WROTE, "SPENDING THE DAY WITH A RENOWNED SCHOLAR AND A ROOM FULL OF INTELLIGENT, PASSIONATE, AND COMMITTED EDUCATORS IS A DREAM COME TRUE. THE DEEPLY INTELLECTUAL CONVERSATIONS WE ENGAGED IN WERE INSPIRING AND REFRESHING. THE ACADEMY'S CLASSES SHOULD BE A MODEL FOR ALL TEACHER PROGRAMS." THE PROGRAM SENDS A POSITIVE MESSAGE TO TEACHERS EVERYWHERE: YOUR WORK IS VALUED BY OUR CULTURE'S GREAT MINDS AND INSTITUTIONS. ALVIN AILEY ALVIN AILEY IS ONE OF THE PRE-EMINENT DANCE COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. THEY ARE ALSO COMMITTED TO BRINGING DANCE INTO THE CLASSROOMS, COMMUNITIES, AND LIVES OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

AKANKSHA WORKS IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, INITIATING SCHOOL REFORM THROUGH THE SCHOOL PROJECT, AND PROVIDING A SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION THROUGH THE AKANKSHA CENTERS. CURRENTLY, AKANKSHA REACHES OUT TO OVER 5000 CHILDREN THROUGH TWO MODELS: THE AFTER-SCHOOL OR CENTER MODEL AND THE SCHOOL PROJECT. AKANKSHA HAS 8 CENTERS AND 16 SCHOOLS IN MUMBAI AND PUNE. THE SCHOOL PROJECT IS A VENTURE TO OPEN HIGH-QUALITY SCHOOLS SERVING CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES IN MUMBAI AND PUNE. THESE SCHOOLS ARE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES, WITH THE VISION OF CREATING SMALL CLUSTERS OF MODEL SCHOOLS IN THESE CITIES THAT CAN BE USED TO IMPACT THE MAINSTREAM EDUCATION SYSTEM. THROUGH THE CENTERS, A COMMITMENT IS MADE TO SUPPORT EACH CHILD BY PROVIDING A STRONG EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, GOOD TIME, SELF-ESTEEM AND VALUES, AND TO HELP THEM PLAN HOW THEY CAN EARN A STEADY LIVELIHOOD AS A STEP TOWARDS IMPROVING THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING. ARO ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH OFFICE (ARO) IS A NEW YORK CITY FIRM. FOUNDED IN 1993, ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH OFFICE HAS EARNED A REPUTATION FOR EARNEST EXPLORATION AND ENGAGEMENT THAT YIELDS ARCHITECTURE THAT IS ORIGINAL, INNOVATIVE, AND IMAGINATIVE. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH OFFICE IS AS MUCH A LABORATORY AS A DESIGN PRACTICE. THROUGH INVESTIGATION, ANALYSIS AND TESTING, ARO CREATES DESIGNS THAT UNITE THE CONCEPTUAL AND THE PRAGMATIC WITHIN A STRONG, COHERENT VISION. THIS RESEARCH DRIVEN PROCESS ENABLES THE FIRM TO OPERATE ON A WIDE VARIETY OF PROJECTS SPANNING STRATEGIC PLANNING, ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN, AND TO CRAFT ELEGANT SOLUTIONS TO SEEMINGLY INTRACTABLE PROBLEMS, ALWAYS IN AN EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THE GREATEST AESTHETIC IMPACT USING THE FEWEST NATURAL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES. ARO IS WORKING WITH THE RIVERDALE COUNTRY SCHOOL IN THE BRONX TO DESIGN A NEW REPLACEMENT FOR THEIR EXISTING 18,000 SF PERKINS BUILDING. THE BUILDING WILL HOUSE A MIX OF PROGRAM, INCLUDING THE RIVER CAMPUS' MAIN LIBRARY AND THEATER, CLASSROOMS, AND STAFF OFFICES. THE DRAMATIC SITE PROVIDES A UNIQUE CHALLENGE, BOTH FOR SITE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS PROGRAMMATICALLY, TO ENSURE THAT THE NEW INTERVENTION ENHANCES THE EXISTING CAMPUS CONNECTIONS WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING THE BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SURROUNDINGS OF THE SCHOOL. AUTHENTIC EDUCATION THE MISSION OF AUTHENTIC EDUCATION IS TO MAKE SCHOOLS BETTER BY PROVIDING THEIR CLIENTS WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART EDUCATIONAL THINKING, TOOLS, AND TRAINING. THEY AIM TO EXCEED CLIENT EXPECTATIONS BY LEAVING THEM BETTER EQUIPPED TO TACKLE THEIR MOST CHALLENGING ISSUES. SUCCESS IS MEASURED WHEN CLIENTS BECOME MORE PROACTIVE IN MAKING SCHOOL MORE LEARNING-CENTERED AND RESULTS FOCUSED. THEY BUILD CAPACITY BY PROVIDING SERVICES, PRODUCTS, AND FRESH IDEAS FOR HELPING SCHOOLS MAKE STUDENT PERFORMANCE THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF SCHOOL. THEY PROVIDE PRACTICAL, EFFECTIVE, AND THOUGHTFUL STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND CONSULTING SERVICES SPECIALIZING IN DESIGN AND TEACHING FOR UNDERSTANDING EFFECTIVE ASSESSMENT AND THOUGHTFUL SCHOOL CHANGE.

THEIR SERVICES INCLUDE CONSULTING, TRAINING, WORKSHOPS, CUSTOM RESEARCH AND REVIEW OF MATERIALS, TELECONFERENCES, AND VIDEO CONFERENCES. THEY ALSO MAKE AVAILABLE PRODUCTS IN THE FORM OF PRINT, TAPE, AND ELECTRONIC MATERIAL FOR USE BY EDUCATORS ON STUDENT ASSESSMENT, CURRICULUM DESIGN, AND SCHOOL CHANGE. BETTER MAKE ROOM FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA'S PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN TARGETS GENERATION Z, OR YOUNG PEOPLE AGES 14-19, TO CELEBRATE EDUCATION, CHANGE THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION, AND REACH STUDENTS DIRECTLY WHERE THEY ARE AND GIVE THEM A SPACE TO CREATE CONTENT WHILE ALSO NAVIGATING THE COLLEGE-GOING PROCESS. THIS CAMPAIGN WILL LEVERAGE TRADITIONAL AND NEW MEDIA PLATFORMS TO CELEBRATE STUDENT STORIES IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE OFTEN CELEBRATE CELEBRITIES AND ATHLETES. WITH PARTNERS IN THE BUSINESS, PHILANTHROPIC, MEDIA, AND EDUCATION REALM, THIS CAMPAIGN WILL STRETCH ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO INSPIRE STUDENTS AND GIVE THEM THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO REACH HIGHER FOR COLLEGE. CHARACTER LAB CHARACTER LAB IS A NONPROFIT ON A MISSION TO ADVANCE THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE A SMALL TEAM OF RESEARCHERS, DESIGNERS, AND EDUCATORS WHO ARE WORKING TO DO THREE THINGS: DISCOVER THE IDEAS AND STRATEGIES THAT BUILD CHARACTER. THEY CO-DESIGN AND FUND RESEARCH ABOUT CHARACTER WITH A K-12 CLASSROOM IN MIND, AND DIRECTLY CONNECT RESEARCHERS WITH THOSE WHO WORK IN SCHOOLS. TRANSLATE THOSE GOOD IDEAS TO USEFUL PRODUCTS. USING RESEARCH RESULTS, THEY PRODUCE AND CURATE PRACTICAL TOOLS FOR TEACHERS AND FAMILIES. CHARACTER LAB DOES EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH STUDENTS DO WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS IS BEST. THEY PARTNER WITH RESEARCHERS TO SCALE AND REPLICATE THE BEST IDEAS FOR SCHOOLS AND HOMES TO ADVANCE THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT SO ALL CHILDREN CAN REACH THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL. WHAT THEY BELIEVE THEY BELIEVE THAT CHARACTER SKILLS ARE MALLEABLE. THEY BELIEVE THAT CHARACTER MAY MATTER AS MUCH AS ACADEMICS TO SUCCEED IN LIFE AND THAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT CAN ENHANCE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. THEY BELIEVE THAT RESEARCH BY EDUCATORS AND SCIENTISTS IN PARTNERSHIP CAN LEAD TO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHERS, FAMILIES, AND STUDENTS. WHAT'S NEXT THEY ARE AN EARLY-STAGE NONPROFIT VENTURE.
