OVERVIEW

DEAR FRIENDS,

Faculty members: 127 In-state students: 1,419 Out-of-state students: 423 On-Grounds students: 1,053 Off-Grounds students: 789 Areas of study: 23 Online degree programs: 6 Online professional-development courses: 45 Students taking at least one online course: 800

This is a very exciting time at the University of Virginia. In ways I have not seen in years, the University is discussing investments in new and promising ideas and making resources available to implement them.

NUMBER OF DEGREES CONFERRED BSEd: 100 MEd: 248 MT: 146 PhD: 37 EdD: 8 EdS: 38 Certificate: 24 TOTAL: 601

Across the University there is a growing emphasis on fostering student and faculty engagement in societal challenges faced by communities both locally and globally. The Curry School is extremely well positioned to take a leadership role in this direction. Engagement is in many ways our core competence, and we will step forward to lead with academic programs, scholarly work, and public service.

The faculty at the Curry School works from a mindset of excellence and openness to innovation. Over the past year, we have collectively taken the initiative to develop a set of priorities—bold new ideas that leverage our strengths and will take us into the future. Some of these ideas are still conceptual while others are gaining momentum and becoming reality. You can read about some of these initiatives throughout the pages of this Curry School Foundation Annual Report, because as a supporter you have already been helping to build the momentum toward bringing these visions to fruition. Thank you so much for your generosity.

ANNUAL REPORT

Let me recount a few of the exciting achievements in fiscal year 2015-2016 related to your giving: Cash gifts to the Curry School Annual Fund increased 56% over the previous fiscal year, which means that the Foundation has more resources with which to attract funding for the School’s top priorities. One hundred thirty-three talented students were supported with monetary scholarships, fellowships and awards totaling more than $470,000. New gifts to these funds totaled $108,000. The Biermann Memorial Fund was created to support a faculty position in our dual Master of Education/Master of Business Administration degree program. The Compassionate Schools Project, developed through Curry’s partnership with the UVA Contemplative Sciences Center, received $2.4 million for developing and rigorously testing curriculum in Louisville, Kentucky, schools.

Please enjoy reading about the impacts of your generosity throughout this report.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN |

As we head into UVA’s upcoming bicentennial campaign, the Curry School will be presented with the most significant opportunity we have ever had to actualize our collective vision for the future of the school. I believe your engagement with and support of our initiatives over the past year reflects your belief that Curry is poised to make profound impacts on society. I am deeply grateful for your trust in us.

THE CURRY SCHOOL ANNUAL FUND EXPERIENCED UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH IN BOTH DOLLARS AND DONORS IN FISCAL YEAR 2016, MAKING IT THE FUND’S LARGEST FUNDRAISING YEAR IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

$561,901 TOTAL CASH GIFTS TO ANNUAL FUND

56%

Cash contributions to the Annual Fund totaled $561,901 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, which represents a 56 percent increase over cash contributions received in fiscal year 2015. In addition, the number of donors to the Annual Fund totaled 1,683, compared to 1,543 in fiscal year 2015.

“Our family believes that giving to the Curry School has a ripple effect on all of us and directly aligns with our values,” said Major. “All of us have a responsibility to give back to ensure that Curry can do all its great work and stay on the cutting edge of educational research and practitioner development.”

GROWTH IN ANNUAL FUND OVER 2014-2015

“This growth comes as a result of the diligent work of the foundation staff, an engaged and committed foundation board of directors and, ultimately, support from Curry alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends,” said Gerald D. Starsia, associate professor and executive director of the foundation. “We are grateful for the effort put forth by the entire Curry community and have even more ambitious goals for the Annual Fund as UVA kicks off its bicentennial capital campaign.”

The Annual Fund, which is composed of unrestricted gifts to the foundation, provides core support for the Curry School and the operations of the foundation. “These contributions can be the most lasting and powerful gifts a donor can make,” noted Bob Pianta, dean of the Curry School.

Lara Major (MEd ’95 Reading Education) is an alumna committed to the Annual Fund, and her family has also shown sweeping support of the Curry School. Major was already a classroom teacher when she decided to further develop her expertise in reading instruction by attending the Curry School, and she gained more than she expected from her experience—engaging with faculty members like Marcia Invernizzi on textbook development, immersing herself in the Charlottesville public schools through a reading program and developing lifelong friendships with classmates.

THE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT AT THE CURRY SCHOOL IS ABOVE AND BEYOND OTHERS IN THE SPORTS MEDICINE FIELD. THIS IS MY DREAM TO BE HERE. LINDSAY SLATER

| YO U R G I V I N G

Sports Medicine Doctoral Student

LINDSAY SLATER IS MAKING SURE THAT U.S. OLYMPIC FIGURE SKATING TEAM HOPEFULS ARE MORE LIKELY TO STAY INJURY-FREE AS THEY PREPARE FOR PYEONGCHANG 2018.

A doctoral student in the Curry School’s sports medicine program, Slater is a perfect example of how giving can have far-reaching impacts. As a child, Slater turned to figure skating to pass the hours at the ice rink while her brother played hockey. By the time she got to college she was good enough to walk on to Miami University’s varsity synchronized skating team, which won the U.S. Collegiate National Championship in her sophomore and junior years. After that, she stopped competing so she could focus on her undergraduate studies, though she went on to chose a graduate major that was inspired by her experience as an athlete: biomechanics, especially the study of sports movement. Once Slater had earned her master’s degree, the obvious next step was to conduct research at the Curry School’s Exercise and Sports Injury Laboratory, which is part of the Department of Kinesiology. “I wanted an innovative program on the front lines of lower-extremity injury research,” Slater said. “The research environment at the Curry School is above and beyond others in the sports medicine field. This is my dream to be here.”

For her dissertation research, she is examining deterioration in athletes’ sports performance after an ACL reconstruction. A $1,000 grant from the Dean’s Research and Development Fund—another resource established by donors—is helping to support Slater’s investigations.

“Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am now in my dissertation research,” Slater said. “It was pretty huge.”

LINDSAY SLATER IS DOING JUST THE KIND OF TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH MY FELLOW DONORS AND I WERE HOPING THIS AWARD WOULD ENCOURAGE.

ANNUAL REPORT

Fortunately for Slater, generous friends of the Curry School had already put in place sources of support for bright and talented students like her. The 2016 David H. Perrin Sports Medicine Award allowed her to continue her research through an otherwise unfunded summer month without having to find outside employment.

DAVID H. PERRIN Former Curry School professor and director of Curry’s graduate programs in Athletic Training and Sports Medicine

With all this support, Slater is poised to excel in her field. The combination of her research in the Exercise and Sports Injury Lab and her ice skating experience has already prepared her to make a significant impact on the future of 35 Olympic hopefuls. Working with Peter Zapalo, director of sports science and medicine for the U.S. Figure Skating Association of America, she has developed an observational measurement tool to help identify skaters whose movements put them at high risk for injury. After screening figure skaters in Colorado Springs last summer, Slater worked with the USFSA’s Sports Sciences and Medicine Committee to develop a treatment plan for skaters who were flagged. In honor of her contribution, the U.S. Figure Skating/Professional Skaters Association presented Slater with the 2016 Pieter Kollen Sport Science Award for use of scientific technology in figure skating.

An award-winning sports scientist and a team of Olympic skaters all are set for a bright future—with help from insightful donors to the Curry School who understand that the impact of giving can sometimes reach further than they can imagine.

IMPROVING SPECIAL ED INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS ACROSS THE NATION, 6.5 MILLION, OR 13 PERCENT, OF PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 3 AND 21 RECEIVE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES. YET 49 STATES REPORT A SHORTAGE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

| YO U R G I V I N G

These significant numbers illustrate the nation’s demand for highly qualified teachers who are equipped to educate these students. Thankfully, Michael Kennedy, assistant professor of special education at the Curry School, is helping to prepare the best possible teachers for such students—teachers who can make a difference as soon as they enter the classroom.

49 states

report a shortage of special education teachers and qualified personnel.

Kennedy has pioneered a new type of instructional tool designed to help teachers retain and implement evidence-based practices. Content acquisition podcasts—or CAPs, as they’re known—unite the simplicity and appeal of multimedia with time-tested instructional design principles, resulting in benefits for students with special needs. Comprising engaging audio and visual content, CAPs are short instructional vignettes designed to convey a single topic of interest. A recent

study conducted by the Curry School and published in the journal Exceptional Children shows that students who received multimedia instruction outperformed peers who read the same information in texts. Schools and universities across the country are already putting the videos to use. Kennedy’s work was initially made possible through a $10,000 grant from the Dean’s Research and Development Fund—a discretionary resource established by Richard R. “Dick” Abidin, renowned professor emeritus of the Curry School, and Peter K. Scaturro, a member of the Curry School Foundation Board of Directors and retired financial executive. Designed to support early development research with the potential to significantly impact education, the fund provides promising young faculty with the financial resources to pursue their work.

WHAT WE’VE ACCOMPLISHED TO DATE IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

MICHAEL KENNEDY Assistant Professor of Special Education

Asked about the grant, Kennedy noted the array of opportunities it has facilitated for his team. “That money has had a long life and reach for us,” he said. “It helped fund the Charlottesville teachers who wrote scripts for the CAPs we used in multiple studies, and it allowed us to conduct a study that informed numerous presentations and publications, extending the reach of our work. We’re tremendously grateful for it.” Kennedy is now working to integrate the CAPs into a larger professional development process that includes providing teachers with access to individual electronic presentation slides as well as tools that measure their performance in the classroom.

YO U R G I V I N G |

Having recently secured a $400,000 early career grant through the Institute of Education Sciences, Kennedy has high hopes for the future of his research. “We’re committed to making sure special education teachers have the tools they need to go out into the world and do their jobs effectively. What we’ve accomplished to date is just the beginning.”

“The idea is to intervene sooner, giving kids a better chance of becoming successful adults regardless of background,” explained Henderson, who is in the fourth year of the Curry School’s clinical and school psychology doctorate program. A student representative on the Curry School Foundation Board of Directors, Henderson sees early intervention as key to another area, too: creating a robust culture of philanthropy. She and Carly Magnolia Buckholz (College ’16)—a higher education master’s student and foundation intern—believe helping students grasp the importance of private giving now will lead to more loyal, involved alumni later.

The concept is far from new, at Curry or elsewhere. However, newly coordinated efforts, including greater roles for student voices like Henderson’s and Buckholz’s, are giving prominence to a priority vital to the school’s future.

“Curry students understand the role of philanthropy in creating the student experience, and they too have the ability to make an impact,” said Renee Bush, director of the Curry School Annual Fund. A centerpiece of the latest efforts is the Curry Student Giving Initiative, or CSGIVE, which aims to create a culture of giving among students at all levels. In conjunction with CSGIVE, Henderson has spoken at new-student orientations and in other settings, educating incoming students about the importance of the foundation and philanthropy. In the spring, she and Buckholz will lead a philanthropic climate survey to gauge students’ knowledge about giving to Curry. Other efforts include increasing student involvement in the philanthropic cycle and events—such as the semiannual UVA “Thank a Donor Day” and the university-wide “GivingtoHoos Day” in April—as well as forming a student giving committee.

“We’re finding students love their time at Curry and do want a way to give back,” said Buckholz. “CSGIVE puts the opportunity in front of them, empowering them to do their part in developing the resources of Curry.”

Gifts are rolling in, Buckholz adds—among them, Henderson’s own monthly contributions: small sums, she says, to cultivate the habit. “As students, we needn’t wait until we’re alumni or fourth-years to give back with time, talent or treasure,” Henderson said. “I’ve seen firsthand how all gifts make a difference in what the foundation can fund.” These areas include support for student organizations, scholarships, special events and conferences, in addition to foundation-backed grants from the Dean’s Research and Development Fund—grants such the one Henderson received for her dissertation work and the one awarded to her faculty advisor, from which Henderson also benefited.

EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION: A LEGACY MELANIE BIERMANN HAS ALWAYS SUPPORTED INTERDISCIPLINARY AND INTEGRATED APPROACHES TO TEACHING AND LEARNING. After earning her PhD (1990) in social studies education, she enjoyed a rich and rewarding career working in teacher preparation as well as in teacher credentialing at the state and national levels. She retired from the Teacher Education Accreditation Council in 2014. When her mother passed away in 2014 and left a bequest to her, Biermann and her husband Martin Younker decided they wanted to commemorate her parents’ lives in a way that would continue to honor their values and beliefs. “Both parents were great believers in education,” she said. She looked to the Curry School, of course. Its dual degree program in Innovation and Education Reform, in which students earn a master’s degree in education from Curry and an MBA from the Darden School, seemed like the perfect fit. “Darden and Curry have two different cultures and concepts of teaching and learning,” she said. “The program is a way to bring the best of each together in an innovative, creative and evolving program that could have an impact for many years ahead.”

Biermann’s younger brother, Jim, is a successful businessman who graduated from both the McIntire School and the Darden School, so the fit is personal as well as professional. “Support of the dual degree program is a way that we can combine our educational backgrounds and life work,” she added. Biermann’s gift to the Curry School, the Eileen and Harold G. Biermann Memorial Program, now helps fund a dedicated faculty member in the MBA/MED program for five years. Professor Matthew Wheelock was hired last spring to design and teach courses in the Curry master’s degree program that explicitly develop students’ capacity for entrepreneurship in education and can also be offered in Curry’s new Youth and Social Innovation undergraduate degree program. At the same time, Wheelock will work to engage students in the Curry community and increase their interest in education-related work—all undertakings that Biermann agrees are important.

Biermann joined the Curry School Foundation Board of Directors in 2016, where she is providing even more support to Curry. She also spearheaded a fundraising campaign last year to name a Ruffner Hall classroom in honor of the late Jerry Moore, professor emeritus, and his wife Joan.

“I received financial, educational, social, and career support from Curry, and I will always treasure my memories as a doctoral student,” she said. “I was supported in all those ways by those who went before me. It is now time in my life to say ‘thank you’ by returning that gift and supporting those students who will come in the future.”

ESTATE PLANNING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO VINCE AND JEANETTE GORMAN WERE THINKING OF THE CURRY SCHOOL AS THEY DID THEIR ESTATE PLANNING AND BOOKED A SIZABLE BEQUEST TO BENEFIT THE SCHOOL. Vince had earned an education specialist degree in higher education at the Curry School in 1984, building on his administrative experience in the Army. He has especially fond memories of the late Jennings Wagoner, the beloved Curry professor who directed the Center for Higher Education and was known for connecting students with the College and other schools across Grounds. “He was a true Southern gentleman and a good mentor,” Vince said. He credits the reputation of the program for the flurry of job offers in higher education he received after graduating. Eventually, though, he left higher ed to start his own business, which flourished until he was ready to retire.

Last spring, the Gormans again reviewed their estate plans and decided to establish a charitable remainder trust (CRT) to benefit the University of Virginia. A CRT is an irrevocable gift that can be funded with a wide range of assets including cash, appreciated securities, or real estate. The trust provides regular income for the lifetime of each beneficiary or for a predetermined period of up to 20 years. When the trust terminates, the remainder is put to use by the University as the donor directs. Based on Vince’s experience working in higher education, he wants to encourage cross-school initiatives with his giving. He will direct the University to establish joint chairs with the funding between the Curry School and one or more other schools. “This gift is in memory of Jennings Wagoner and what Curry did for me,” Vince said. “Curry is great at what they do. They educate those who will someday educate others. I think people should give what they can to help the Curry School, because it is making a difference in so many lives.”

A WIN-WIN STRATEGY GERRY AND PRIOR COOPER HAVE MULTIGENERATIONAL TIES TO THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

Their son Evan attended UVA, and Evan’s son Miles is currently a second-year student. Prior’s father and brother are UVA grads, and Gerry earned both a bachelor’s degree from the College in 1958 and a master’s degree from the Curry School in 1969. A retired development professional, Gerry is well aware of the importance of philanthropy. Since 1991 the Coopers have supported the Curry School financially, as well as other UVA causes. A decade ago they booked a bequest on behalf of the Curry School, making them members of the Cornerstone Society. In 2016, they took advantage of another estate planning tool, establishing a charitable gift annuity. “This is the largest gift we’ve ever made, but it’s not a huge sacrifice, since it pays 5.4% income that we get as long as we live,” Gerry said. “It’s a good investment, both for us and for the University.” The annuity pays guaranteed, fixed income payments based on age-adjusted rates for the rest of their lives. It provides security for each spouse, as well as income tax treatment as a charitable donation.

“The experience at Curry helped me to be an advocate for diversity and integration at Woodberry Forest School, where I was a teacher and administrator from 1966 to 1977,” he continued. “Those were life-changing times for many, and the Curry School had a significant influence on me.”

“The gift is largely in recognition of the fine leadership of President Teresa Sullivan and former Rector George Martin in challenging times, and it will benefit the Curry School, where I earned my master’s degree and teaching certification,” Gerry explained. “At Curry, I crossed paths with professionals on the faculty and among the students who were from a variety of educational backgrounds and geographical regions.”

THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE CURRY SCHOOL The University of Virginia kicks off its bicentennial celebration in fall 2017 and is now preparing for its third-century capital campaign. The Curry School’s fundraising priorities will include the Annual Fund, planned giving, scholarships, professorships, and big ideas. Demonstrating its characteristic foresight, the Curry School faculty has been working together over the past year to envision and solidify a set of strategic initiatives that will be key to the School’s future aspirations. These big ideas, which leverage multidisciplinary connections across the School and the University, are at various stages of development. In the following pages, you can read about seven exciting initiatives—some already underway and others nearing implementation.

ANNUAL REPORT

CENTER FOR AUTISM THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER, OR ASD, IN THE UNITED STATES HAS GROWN FROM 1 IN 150 TO 1 IN 68 OVER THE LAST DECADE. Yet services to these children remain fragmented, and not nearly enough teachers are qualified to work with children with ASD. The Curry School prepares professionals to serve people with ASD in four key areas—special education, speech communication disorders, clinical psychology and kinesiology (the science of human movement); in addition, at least 36 other faculty members across UVA are working on autism-related projects.

The first phase of the Curry School’s vision includes a three-year plan to strengthen its internal foundation. This phase will be anchored by several new hires, many of whom will need to be supported by donor funding: a multidisciplinary autism researcher who will work across UVA units, an executive director for the Sheila C. Johnson Center for Human Services and two clinical faculty members; another three postdocs will supervise Curry students. Phases two and three will strengthen the Curry School’s research faculty and training programs, as well as its ability to serve as a national model to communities across the country.

1 in 68 CHILDREN ARE DIAGNOSED WITH ASD IN THE UNITED STATES

The Curry School envisions combining all of these resources to position UVA as a national leader in autism research, coordinated care, and teacher and clinical professional training. Curry will leverage its existing relationships with schools, its education and clinical expertise, and its experience with field-based and applied research to develop a comprehensive, community-focused autism center.

With the capacity to facilitate external partnerships, both regionally and nationally, the center will also make the most of research and treatment breakthroughs. Then the University will be poised to develop national models of care while providing the highest level of resources to Virginia families.

CLASSROOM SIMULATOR

THINKING BACK TO MY PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE, I REMEMBER GETTING INTO A POWER STRUGGLE WITH A STUDENT THAT I COULDN’T SEEM TO GET OUT OF GRACEFULLY. I WOULD HAVE MUCH PREFERRED TO HAVE HAD TIME WITH THE SIMULATOR, WHERE I COULD HAVE REFLECTED ON THE EXPERIENCE WITH A MENTOR AND EVEN TRIED IT AGAIN TO SEE IF I COULD ACHIEVE A DIFFERENT, AND BETTER, OUTCOME. MEREDITH McCOOL Curriculum and Instruction Doctoral Student

This is the concept behind the Curry School’s classroom simulator program. Using a computerbased simulator, student teachers interact with avatars on a video monitor. The avatars, which are controlled by an offsite actor, demonstrate common behavioral challenges; then teachersin-training apply strategies they learned in their Curry School courses to reengage their pupils or redirect distracting behavior. Student teachers receive immediate feedback from onsite faculty advisors and are able to repeat the simulation if they falter—an opportunity a real classroom can never offer. This groundbreaking pilot program helps new teachers enter the classroom with confidence rather than trepidation—and it is made possible by the generosity of donors like Paulette Katzenbach, chair of the Curry School Foundation Board of Directors. Katzenbach’s seed funding subsidized the technology licensing fees that the Curry School needed to successfully complete

its pilot testing. “This simulation program is one of the most innovative projects I have seen recently,” she said. “It will certainly be a game changer in the area of teacher training for future generations of educators.” While the simulation technology will benefit new educators, it could also easily be adapted for other professionals-in-training whose effectiveness relies heavily on skills that are challenging to practice,

such as psychologists, administrators and consultants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited about the possibilities of the simulation,â&#x20AC;? said Bridget Hamre, a professor of education at the Curry School and director of numerous innovative projects in teacher preparation at the state and federal levels. She added that with this progressive technology, the Curry School is entering a new frontier in training and supporting teachers at the school and on a national scale. Funding for the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next phase is increasing steadily as more donors recognize how the simulator could transform the future of teacher training. With their support, the Curry School is moving ahead with plans to create scalable, fully immersive, algorithmic-based simulators by partnering with companies in the artificial intelligence, virtual reality and simulation technology sectors. Additional funding will enable faculty to capitalize on these new technological innovations as they generate content and modules for other teacher education programs nationwide. Once the right technology is available, the Curry School will be well-positioned to establish an endowment-funded national center for teaching simulation.

JEFFERSON EDUCATION ACCELERATOR

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING JEFFERSON EDUCATION ESTABLISH ITSELF AS A THOUGHT LEADER IN THE MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR ED TECH MARKET.

TODAY’S EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY MARKET IS OVERSATURATED WITH STARTUPS PROMISING THEIR PRODUCTS WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE. School district and university leaders are overwhelmed with options, and determining the merits of each vendor’s products can be a daunting and time-consuming process. As a result, they are often forced to make decisions about what to purchase based on companies’ sales, marketing and branding efforts rather than on empirical data from independent researchers.

JASON PALMER

A member of the Curry School Foundation Board of Directors and a Jefferson Education donor

Enter the Jefferson Education Accelerator (JEA), a revolutionary project cofounded by the Curry School of Education that is directly addressing this challenge. As the nation’s first growthstage accelerator, it provides educators with innovation backed by scientific evidence. Unlike traditional incubators, JEA—which is strategically located in the Washington, D.C., area—works with organizations that have moved beyond the startup phase and are looking to demonstrate how their products and services drive measurable achievements in the classroom.

Through the Curry School, these companies are connected to school districts and colleges where their products can be tested by academic researchers from the University of Virginia and other higher education institutions. A Curry School scientific review board oversees the quality of the research and makes the results public; in return for the help they receive, the companies give a small portion of their equity to the accelerator. Thanks to the generosity of eight families who have donated to the Curry School Foundation in order to provide startup funding for JEA, the accelerator has already been engaged with over a dozen companies.” “This accelerator fills an important gap in the market by building bridges between investors, academic researchers and entrepreneurs—all united around a common commitment to students, evidence and efficacy studies,” said Jason Palmer, a member of the Curry School Foundation Board of Directors and a JEA donor. “There is so much potential for new technologies to positively transform teaching and learning, and I look forward to seeing JEA establish itself as a thought leader in the multibillion-dollar ed tech market.”

ANNUAL REPORT

In an effort to achieve this goal, the Curry School and JEA will cohost an academic symposium in May 2017. The symposium will foster collaboration between five stakeholder groups that rarely team up in support of education technology—academic researchers, entrepreneurs, district and university leaders, investors and philanthropists, and teachers and professors—to facilitate efficacy research in real-world settings and help those developing solutions with the potential to make an impact at scale. The hope is that by convening these groups, JEA will help ensure that merit, not marketing, drives which ed tech products and services end up in the classroom—a revolutionary concept that will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the field of education for years to come.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

OUR EARLY LEARNING CURRICULUM WILL BE STRUCTURED TO HELP CHILDREN DEVELOP THE NECESSARY SKILLS TO BECOME ACTIVE, ENGAGED, CREATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL.

EVERY DISADVANTAGED CHILD SHOULD RECEIVE AN EARLY EDUCATION EXPERIENCE THAT PREPARES THEM TO ENTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH SKILLS EQUAL TO THEIR NON-DISADVANTAGED PEERS.

Now the Curry School is ready to develop an early learning curriculum for children ages 1-5 years that focuses on the assessment of children’s readiness for school. It will provide the highest quality instruction in a stimulating, fun, learning environment focused on the areas of science, technology, reading, engineering, arts and math.

The Curry School plans to transform the opportunities for early learning in Virginia and the United States through a new approach to workforce development and program design.

The school also has the components of a transformational teacher preparation curriculum that reflects contemporary knowledge on child development and early learning, curriculum and assessment—a package that can be dropped into a range of degrees and delivery systems.

Through our Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning, the Curry School has already developed assessment tools that are used to monitor and improve early childhood programs throughout Virginia and in several other states. The center also excels in professional development for early childhood teachers that increases the effectiveness of their instructional interactions with children.

At the same time, the Curry School is proposing to take the lead in building Virginia’s capacity to analyze and use data currently being collected under the Virginia Kindergarten Readiness Program. This work will ultimately inform policy and program investments that lead to improved outcomes for children across the Commonwealth.

As a partner in UVA’s new Contemplative Sciences Center, the Curry School is applying contemplative approaches to improve pre-K–12 teacher education and to address other critical challenges in education. One of the first Curry initiatives, the Compassionate Schools Project, is a collaborative effort between the CSC and YouthNex (the UVA Center to Promote Effective Youth Development) and has been funded almost entirely by foundation and individual philanthropic support.

While rigorous research proceeds in Louisville, Jennings is developing a number of new local projects, including a series of Curry School online courses for certification in mindfulness in education and a set of social-emotional tools that will address school culture and help children be more compassionate with each other.

ONLINE EDUCATION

Ben Castleman, an assistant professor of education and public policy at the Curry School, has had a run of highly publicized successes applying behavioral insights, data science and interactive technologies to improve the chances of students’ college success.

The Curry Education Campus Online delivers instruction, instructional resources and virtual experiments to students around the world for the purpose of serving society’s ever-increasing education needs.

As a result, Castleman was named a senior advisor to First Lady Michelle Obama’s Reach Higher initiative, where he leads Up Next, a national mobile-messaging campaign that provides youth across the country with important information and reminders about college, financial aid and loan repayment. Castleman has established the Nudge4 Solutions Lab, an entity bringing together UVA faculty, staff and students to design and rigorously evaluate scalable solutions to four pressing education and policy problems: educational equality, chronic unemployment, criminal justice recidivism and veterans’ education. Over the next several years, the Solutions Lab, which draws support from private gifts and public funding, will launch innovative products that seek to address these high-priority issues. All Nudge4 projects are designed with an eye toward scaling up to serve hundreds of thousands or even millions of people over time.

The Curry School’s online programs and courses offer affordable and flexible learning options even as they provide the same rigorous curriculum and high-quality instruction as can be found in its inperson programs and courses. Each online course provides students with a high-touch experience, which means they interact with peers as well as faculty who are leaders in their fields. By making additional investments in instructional design, improving distance learning infrastructure and increasing marketing efforts, the Curry School aims to serve areas in the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond that do not have access to highquality residential or online instruction. Curry will establish its new online campus as a best-in-class, model education provider.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE This Annual Report comes to you with our deep appreciation for your philanthropic support of the Curry School of Education. Because of your continued investment in the school, we are able to provide world-class teaching, research and classroom experiences for our students, fulfilling our mission to our constituencies and society.

“

| MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Thanks to your remarkable generosity, fiscal year 2015–16 proved to be a success. We exceeded the annual fund goal by over 50%, began developing the structure and foundation for the upcoming bicentennial capital campaign and have raised our aspirational fundraising goals to levels unprecedented in the School’s history. Our plan to share the leading edge research of our faculty with the rest of the world is well underway as we launch a new website and social media messaging program and begin a deliberate and intentional marketing and communications strategy.

THE THEME, MOMENTUM, HIGHLIGHTS THE ENERGY AND DRIVE NEEDED TO ACHIEVE OUR ASPIRATIONS IN THE BICENTENNIAL CAMPAIGN. GERALD D. STARSIA, PH.D.

We have significantly raised the annual fund goal for the current fiscal year, started a student giving program, and in the spirit of “everyone has something to give”—time, talent, or treasure—will work at increasing the level of engagement and the overall giving participation among Curry School alumni and friends. These are the core tenets of a successful capital campaign. As a member of the Curry community, we hope you will engage with us in a profound and sustained way. It is my belief that this level of commitment will pay dividends now and into the future. The theme for this report, Momentum, highlights the energy and drive needed to achieve our aspirations. None of this happens without the dedicated support of our alumni and donors. On behalf of the entire Curry community, including the School and the Foundation, I sincerely appreciate your commitment, loyalty, and generosity to continue to support the Curry School of Education. I look forward to working together to build the world’s most innovative and impactful education programs that prepare our graduates for positions as educators, leaders and global citizens.
