| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 - Organization's mission (continued) | Confident that education paves the way to social equity, NCCEP advances college access through advocacy, training, and research. To fulfill this mission, NCCEP establishes community-education partnerships, strengthens research-based college access programs, and develops tools and resources to provide educational opportunities for all students. One of NCCEP's primary functions is to serve as an intermediary organization for public agencies, private and corporate foundations, and their grantees. Most significant of these efforts is the federally funded Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) initiative for which NCCEP serves as the national association. NCCEP works to elevate and encourage replication of GEAR UP's best practices and facilitates opportunities for GEAR UP programs and professional improvement to increase student success, high school graduation rates, and postsecondary enrollment and success. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a - Conferences and Training Programs (continued) | These are designed for college access professionals to share lessons learned, effective educational strategies, best practices, and exemplary models for replication nationwide, as well as an opportunity to network with colleagues. NCCEP hosts two large national events each year, the NCCEP/GEAR UP Capacity-Building Workshop and the NCCEP/GEAR UP Annual Conference. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b - Technical Assistance Programs (continued) | NCCEP partners with numerous communities and partners to implement the following programs. Research and Evaluation Programming and Services GEAR UP College and Career Readiness Evaluation Consortium The College and Career Readiness Evaluation Consortium (CCREC) is a collaboration of multiple GEAR UP partnership and state grantees in which NCCEP serves as the managing director. The purpose of the CCREC is to foster collaboration among its members; improve programming through research and data use; demonstrate the impact of GEAR UP across local, state, and national levels of implementation; and build a culture of evidence-based assessment and decision-making. Evaluation Consulting Services In 2022 NCCEP provided Evaluation Consulting Services to various organizations. The services range dependent on local needs and include: Consultation on the federal reporting process including the annual performance and final performance reports. Consultation on logic models, evidence-based strategies, and evaluation practices for future grants. Assisting with bridging best practices of the College and Career Readiness Evaluation Consortium (CCREC). Consultation on data collection and tracking, formative and summative evaluation, and research design. Assisting with the integration of postsecondary enrollment data tracking and migration to a more robust data system. Providing trainings to GEAR UP personnel on program evaluation, common service definitions, data organization, data management, and data tracking systems implementation; use of unique identifiers to link data; and developed site specific strategies for preparing data for analyses and reporting; training personnel on the importance of GEAR UP evaluation and strategies that can be embraced to promote success and sustainability in the school district and community. Serving as an external evaluator for non-GEAR UP programs. Leadership Development and Programming Services Community/State Based Professional Development NCCEP convenes community and state-based educators locally in professional development activities. Working with local GEAR UP programming, NCCEP assists in the design, organization, and delivery of strategic and content specific workshops that are aimed at improving program delivery and student impact. District Leadership Institute The District Leadership Institute (DLI) is NCCEP's premier leadership development program for the GEAR UP community. DLI seeks to maximize the talent and leadership serving in GEAR UP schools and deepen connections between GEAR UP and school and district leaders to facilitate the best possible outcomes and support for students. The 2021-22 DLI included district leaders that received five full days of professional development, plus additional coaching and peer-to-peer support throughout the year. DLI helps facilitate a close working relationship between school and district leaders, GEAR UP directors, and their staff. Career & College Clubs Career & College Clubs is an academic enrichment program that uses peer-to-peer learning to prepare students for success. The program curriculum is based on 7 - 12 grade career and college readiness standards developed by NCCEP. Informed by the ACT Holistic Framework , each grade level contains sequenced lessons and activities in five, research-supported domains: college and career preparation and readiness, academic preparation, leadership development, social and emotional learning, and professional etiquette. Study Lab Through an advisory committee, job analysis, and targeted curriculum development, the learning system, coined "Study Lab," was formally unveiled in February 2020. Nearly 60 courses were launched each tailored by topic (e.g., leadership, communication) for the different role groups, and contain GEAR UP-specific examples related to that role group. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The 990 is reviewed by the President & CEO. The 990 and the required schedules are distributed to each of the NCCEP's directors for their review before the returns are filed with the Internal Revenue Service. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | All officers, directors, and key employees are required to complete and sign a conflict of interest disclosure form annually. The directors must recuse themselves from voting on any issue where there may be a conflict. The Board secretary monitors any apparent conflicts. This policy is part of the employee handbook. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The Board of Directors completes a biennial salary survey using outside consultants and/or resources to ensure that executive compensation is commensurate and reasonable. The President & CEO then evaluates the salaries of all the staff in relation to their accomplishments and their annual performance. The President & CEO considers salary ranges for each position using job responsibilities and market criteria to determine an individual's compensation. |
