DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES, This Annual Report for 2014-2015 provides an opportunity to
thank our valued contributors and demonstrate how much that support matters.
In our rapidly changing global economy, nothing is more essential than educating young people to be resilient, thoughtful innovators with a strong ethical core. To provide that kind of education to children, we must also provide it to their teachers and school leaders. Klingenstein Center programs aim to do exactly that. The Center serves educators at every stage of their careers from young classroom teachers to experienced heads of schools. As a result, nearly 4000 alumni are occupying positions of leadership in schools throughout the nation and the world.
Graduation for the PSL 2015 Cohort in May
To make that possible, we provide generous financial aid. In 2014-2015, students received $1.3 million dollars in scholarships and, for many, participation in Klingenstein Center programs would not have been possible without the alumni, friends and foundations recorded in these pages. Along with generous support from the Klingenstein Fund, gifts from alumni and friends demonstrate how meaningful the programs are to those who have participated and to those who see the outcomes. This Annual Report contains firsthand observations about the impact of the Klingenstein Center’s programs and heartfelt testimonials from alumni about why they choose to give back. If you are an alumnus who benefited from Klingenstein programs please pay it forward at whatever level is comfortable for you. If you are a friend of the Klingenstein Center, please help make it possible for talented educators to attend. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of teachers, administrators and their students.

Why I Give: “I give to the Klingenstein Center for many reasons: chief among them is a sense of responsibility to give back to the organization that quite literally allowed me to have the career that I have had in independent schools. When I was a young teacher, I was not sure I wanted to stay in teaching; KSI gave me a sense of what teaching could and should be. It revealed a career path and connected me to dozens of people whom I wanted to emulate and have as colleagues. I want other young teachers to have this experience, as our country continues to face enormous challenges to educating our children.” ~Stephanie Levy Lipkowitz, KSI ‘89 Summer Institute Lead Teacher
