Growing Forward

Message from Leadership The mission of the Hillsborough Education Foundation is to engage business and community partners in support of Hillsborough County Public Schools and the academic achievement of all its students. For 24 years, our Foundation has been a loyal partner and supporter of our public school district. During that time the Foundation has raised more than $85 million for Hillsborough students, teachers and schools. This includes millions of dollars in school and classroom grants, as well as 4,000 college scholarships for students with a value of almost $10 million. This past year Mike Poland graciously agreed to fill a second two-year term as the Foundation’s chairman. His work with Interim President Dr. Rebekah Heppner brought stability to the Foundation during a time of transition in anticipation of a new president. In January 2012, Dr. Phil Jones was selected as the new president of the Foundation. Phil brought experience in the private business sector, as well as leadership experience in a variety of board positions with successful nonprofit organizations.

Of particular note this year was the continued growth of the Teaching Tools for Hillsborough Schools store, which gave away a record $1.8 million in supplies to almost 3,000 Title I teachers in 110 schools and administrative sites. The supplies were used by more than 52,000 students. Our programs which support schools also grew with classroom, school excellence and technology grants. This year’s Excellence in Education Awards ceremony honoring the Teacher of the Year, the Ida S. Baker Diversity Educator of the Year and the Instructional Support Employee of the Year was the largest ever in the ceremony’s history. The scholarship efforts this year with Take Stock in Children and Cash Scholarships for Graduating Seniors involved almost 400 students with scholarships totaling more than $2 million. Of particular importance was the response of the Foundation to support the scholarship needs of the Urban Teaching Academy magnet program. Florida Prepaid/Take Stock in Children scholarships worth more than $2 million were redirected to these deserving students in grades 9-12. Additional scholarships were purchased in partnership with Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union.
Michael Poland
The Graduation Pathways program using AmeriCorps team members in mentoring at-risk students in the Leto High School cluster had a successful start. This program supports the School District in its quest for a 90 percent graduation rate. A noticeable impact on encouraging students to stay in school was made this past year. This program is scheduled for a major expansion in the year ahead. The Foundation continued its active support of the Empowering Effective Teachers initiative funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The peer review and mentoring component of this program is drawing national attention as a model for increasing teacher excellence. The Board of Directors of HEF ended the year with continued hard work and support for the goals of the Foundation. The Give Five Campaign in combination with the Annual Apple Appeal – Casino Royale event let the year go out with a bang! The year ahead looks to be the best one ever in our history with record levels of support. The programs and events supporting the students, teachers and schools in Hillsborough County are making a difference in the lives of students.
Phil Jones
Sincerely,
Phil Jones

Teaching Tools
Because success starts with the tools to succeed Many Hillsborough County students face challenges purchasing school supplies such as pens, pencils, paper, and books. Before Teaching Tools opened, it was frequently the teachers themselves who dug deep into their wallets and purchased these supplies for the students. Over the past 10 years, Teaching Tools has provided more than $11.5 million in free school supplies to teachers at our Title I schools and administrative sites. Through the generous support of our community, the Teaching Tools Supply Store had a record breaking year in 2011, distributing more than $1.8 million in
free school supplies.
“The Teaching Tools store has made a big impact. I teach at a renaissance school which is high minority, high poverty, and I get enough materials so that I alert my parents and tell them that they don’t have to buy any school supplies for their children. They can just show up and have everything that they need.”
Stephanie Brever, Burney Elementary teacher 2 • Annual Report 2012
The store experienced more than 6,300 teacher visits. In addition, volunteers gave almost 16,000 hours to help staff and support the teachers’ shopping experience.
Forward In today’s uncertain economic climate, more students than ever are faced with financial challenges that result in their inability to purchase even simple, basic classroom school supplies. This is particularly evident in Hillsborough County’s schools, with 57 percent of students eligible for free and reduced lunch. To meet the increasing need, the Foundation will expand the free school supplies program to 10 more schools next year, bringing the total to 120 schools served in Hillsborough County. New partnerships with retail organizations such as Walgreens and increasing donations from our community will be essential to continue bringing school supplies to our teachers and students.
Hillsborough Education Foundation
National Board Certified Teachers Teachers who meet higher standards = students who reach higher levels Our goal is to help increase Hillsborough County’s graduation rate to above 90 percent. We want our students to achieve more. Research indicates that the most important school factor impacting student achievement is teacher quality. National Board Certification is a proven measure of teacher quality, above and beyond state teacher licensing. National Board Certified Teachers (NBCT) successfully undergo a rigorous program designed to recognize effective and accomplished teachers. They meet higher standards based on what teachers should know and be able to do. As part of the certification process, candidates complete 10 assessments that are reviewed by trained teachers in their certificate areas. The assessments include four portfolio entries that feature teaching practice and six constructed response exercises that assess content knowledge. Funding for teachers to enter the program for NBCT certification was eliminated in the Florida education budget. To help retain the best-qualified and most effective teachers, the Hillsborough Education Foundation provides the financial support of a $500 match to any teacher who seeks National Board Certification.
Forward Achieving the Hillsborough County Public Schools’ objective of a 90 percent-plus graduation rate will require teachers who have the qualifications to prepare our students for success. Our goal is to make NBCT certification accessible to every teacher who would like to earn this important certification of teaching excellence. Annual Report 2012 • 3
Karen G. Harrison Dale Mabry Elementary School Excellence Grant Project Feeder Watch:
“Thank you so much for awarding our group, Project Feeder Watch, a School Excellence Grant. Our Dolphin Buddies, students with disabilities and without disabilities, have been watching and counting birds since November, 2011. Students are collecting the data and we have begun electronically submitting the data to Cornell University. The grant will greatly help us by paying for supplies that will help us attract more birds to count, as well as providing us with the tools we need to watch and correctly identify the different species of birds.”
School Enrichment Grants Creativity in the classroom creates students who love to learn
Our goal is to create students who have a sense of Wow! and wonder when they are in school. Hillsborough County can be where the next generation of innovation will be inspired. School Enrichment Grants from the Hillsborough Education Foundation fund new and innovative teaching practices that encourage creativity in students’ everyday learning experiences. These are initiatives that are not covered by a typical school budget, such as establishing an indoor greenhouse so students can study the complete life cycle of plants. Teachers are eligible for funds they can use for special classroom projects. Schools can apply for matching funds to improve the overall experience and upgrade technology. Thanks to the generosity of our business and community partners, the Foundation creates grant programs for initiatives ranging from the environment and music to engineering and recycling.

Pamela Harris Dover Elementary Classroom Grant Grow, Grow, Grow: Some programs have their genesis in an individual’s passion. Others begin with a business focus. The Hillsborough Education Foundation awarded more than $200,000 in grants during the year. Teachers and schools compete for these dollars and provide details on how the monies will be used. If you have a specific passion or interest that you believe could be adapted into an exciting new teaching practice, it could be our next classroom grant.
Forward The Foundation is committed to creating better opportunities for teachers and schools to apply for School Enrichment Grant funds. Teachers and schools now have a longer application period and more frequent monthly reviews, allowing better access to funds at the time they’re needed most. The Foundation is encouraging more businesses to develop grant programs that specifically promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education, helping to create the next generation of innovation.
“On behalf of my teaching partner, our classes and me, I want to thank you so much for your generous grant so that we can begin our long term science project in the classroom. The project will establish an indoor greenhouse so that the children can see the life cycle of a plant from beginning to end. The plants they will grow will be used to beautify the school’s reading garden. Students will understand the importance of and the satisfaction found in community service.”

Yashida Vilere Project SUCCESS:
“Thank you for awarding the Project SUCCESS Scholarship to me. I applied for this scholarship to help me pay for tuition at HCC. With this award I hope to continue my education to get my degree in nursing in two years. From a long term perspective the funds will provide a financial foundation for my career success as a registered nurse.” Andrea Smith Project SUCCESS:
“I applied for this scholarship to help pay for my schooling to further my education. With this award, I hope to become an Emergency Medical Technician within two years. This scholarship will help me to reach my goal of completing my degree at HCC.”

Scholarships Graduation is not the end of an education. It is the beginning of a citizen. Even with the aid of Florida’s Bright Futures Scholarship Program and the Florida Prepaid College Plan, Hillsborough County students and parents have to pay a bigger share of higher education costs. The Hillsborough Education Foundation provides scholarship opportunities that defray the cost associated with a four-year college degree, as well as financial assistance for students’ continuing education at either Hillsborough Community College or a HiTEC center in Hillsborough County. The Foundation awarded $2.5 million in scholarships this year. Nearly 300 scholarships were awarded to graduating seniors thanks to partnerships with local individuals and businesses, as well as civic and charitable organizations.
Hillsborough Education Foundation
We continue to partner with Florida’s Take Stock in Children program to provide scholarship funds and mentors that help at-risk students overcome obstacles and fulfill their dreams of a college education. For the many students who seek to improve their lives through better career training, the Foundation provided nearly 200 Career & Technical Education scholarships this year through our Project SUCCESS and INVEST programs.
Justin Dunbar Scholarship recipient:
“I applied for this scholarship because my family can’t afford to send me to college. One of the goals I hope to achieve is to receive a Bachelor’s degree in business so I can own my own business while supporting my family as they have done for me.” Nathalie Bayelas Scholarship recipient:
Forward The Foundation is committed to help all students prepare for success no matter which path they choose after graduation. Our goal is for every student who wants to go to college to be able to attend. And for every student who decides to pursue a career path after high school to have the best training available.
“I am beyond appreciative for the educational investment that you have made towards my future. As a child in a single parent home, I know that my family cannot afford to send me to college. I am delighted to know that not only have you wished me much success, but you turned thoughts into action with this scholarship. This scholarship will benefit my future goals at Florida State University. At FSU, I will major in entrepreneurship with a minor in law.”

Graduation Pathways Mentors make the difference
About AmeriCorps: AmeriCorps members address critical needs in communities all across America. It is a national service program that provides opportunities for individuals to serve their country and community. Team members commit to a year of service within a community, focusing on a need in a specific field. In Hillsborough County, AmeriCorps team members serve in public schools as mentors for students who have low school attendance.
8 • Annual Report 2012
The data is clear: students who earn a diploma lead more successful lives by every measure – financial and otherwise. Increased graduation rates have a direct correlation to stronger communities with less crime and poverty. Children require positive role models who can help them realize the benefits of staying in school to graduate. They need to see what a brighter future looks like in order to want to do the things to earn it. Mentoring demonstrably helps students achieve better grades and establish goals. Graduation Pathways is a partnership in which the Hillsborough Education Foundation, AmeriCorps, Volunteer Florida, and The Governor’s Commission on Volunteerism join together to match mentors with at-risk students in grades K-12.
Hillsborough Education Foundation
The program has proven success providing one-on-one mentoring to students at 25 schools, including Leto and Hillsborough high schools. Students see examples of how graduating from high school changed lives and led to more successful futures. They come to believe that this is possible for them. And they learn how to do it by seeing it in action.
Stacie Feuerherdt AmeriCorps member:
“Graduation Pathways and AmeriCorps was more than an opportunity for me to enhance education for at risk children, but to really emerge in the public school system as a resource. During my assignment, I had worked and volunteered with other nonprofit organizations besides my official site at an elementary school in Tampa. I began to understand the purpose and importance of after school programs and the need for accessible tutors for communities that lack funding.”
Forward Graduation Pathways is a cornerstone of our plan to help increase Hillsborough County’s graduation rate to over 90 percent. The Foundation is committed to training and supporting our AmeriCorps members, helping them positively impact the academic success of our students.

Workforce of the Future
Preparing our students for 21st century success The largest academic competition in Hillsborough County, the 2011 STEM Fair inspired more than 2,300 students and 2,000 projects. Winners from the Regional Fair progress to compete in the State Science Fair and earn the opportunity to compete in the Intel national competition that features students from all 50 states and over 50 countries around the globe.
One of the world’s foremost cancer research and treatment centers. The company that is responsible for smartphones being able to communicate across international borders. The corporation that uses science to help feed the world. All of these companies, and many more like them, are headquartered right here in the Hillsborough County region. Hillsborough County is at the forefront, encouraging our best and brightest students to study in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. The Foundation embraces this concept by supporting the annual Hillsborough Regional STEM Fair. Our goal is for the Hillsborough STEM Fair to become the nation’s premier competition of this type. We plan to build on the success of recent years and engage more businesses to become involved with the creation of categories and sponsorships that propel innovation. The support you provide as partners of this major event will impact the futures of our brightest students and help you shape our county’s future workforce.

Hillsborough Education Foundation
Urban Teaching Academy Helping our brightest minds illuminate our youngest minds Launched in 2008, the Urban Teaching Academy (UTA) promises college tuition and money for books to qualified students who agree to return to Hillsborough and teach in our local urban schools. The Hillsborough Education Foundation raised $236,000 of higher education scholarship funds for UTA last year alone. In addition, 57 scholarships with a value of $912,000 were redirected to UTA students. This initiative is the inspiration for the next generation of education professionals. It allows and empowers students to choose teaching as a career when this option might not otherwise be possible. It helps ensure that some of our best and brightest will return home to Hillsborough County Public Schools and teach our students how to grow into productive citizens with a strong sense of community responsibility. UTA puts students on the path to becoming teachers at the beginning of their four-year high school term and includes academic guidance, practical field experiences and mentoring. The program has proven effectiveness identifying prospective teachers early and keeping them focused to become the best, then return to our classrooms.
“I wouldn’t know what to do with my life without it. I have a plan for my future and look forward to being a teacher.” -Elisha “I have always wanted to be a teacher and this program has given me the opportunity to gain experience in the field. It motivates me to do better in school.” -Jessica
