“We welcome the unknown, embracing the unexpected and new. We adapt to meet the ever-changing times. We find new ways.”
- CWC Core Value

As I embark on my second year as Executive Director of Citizens of the World Los Angeles, I am reflecting on all we’ve accomplished together. This past year has been a remarkable journey - one of discovery, growth, and inspiration. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering commitment of our educators, staff, and partners like you, who champion our mission to provide an impactful learning experience to all students. We made incredible progress, achieving a high rate of retention for our teaching staff and strengthening student culture with 94% average attendance to implementing advisory and affinity groups that elevate the voices of all of our stakeholders. The pages of this Annual Report are filled with these incredible accomplishments and the impact they have had on our community and beyond.

My first year was filled with meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, and grow alongside you all. From time spent in classrooms observing collaboration and inquirybased learning to gathering invaluable feedback from our teams during staff meetings and professional development gatherings, every moment deepened my appreciation of what makes CWC LA so special. At our first regional staff meetings of this school year, we viewed a video about the story of Austin’s Butterfly. Austin, a first grader, transformed a simple sketch of a butterfly into a stunning final drawing with the support of his teacher and classmates. Through multiple drafts, thoughtful feedback, and his own perseverance, Austin achieved something extraordinary—a powerful reminder that meaningful change takes time, collaboration, and persistence. This story resonates deeply with our vision for the year. At CWC LA, we know that progress and improvement are not always linear. It requires the collective effort of our communityworking together, refining our approaches, and building on feedback in an intentional, incremental, and sequential way. We also anticipate the process will come with unforeseeable setbacks, which will add to the learning and growing experience and eventually lead us to achieve something truly extraordinary.

I am filled with excitement to continue this partnership. Together, we will innovate, gather feedback, share ideas, and create “multiple drafts” as we strive to reach new heights. I am confident that the work we do together will lead to results more spectacular than we could have ever imagined. Thank you for being an integral part of this journey. With your continued support, we are poised to make an even greater impact on the lives of our students and the future of our communities.

With gratitude,

BOARD MEMBERS

We are thrilled to recognize and celebrate the incredible dedication of the CWC Los Angeles Board of Directors in our Annual Report.

First, we extend our deepest gratitude to Mikelle Willis for her extraordinary service as Board Chair, especially during this past year as she supported the onboarding of our new Executive Director. Her unwavering commitment to educational equity, moral clarity, and ability to lead with grace and dignity through challenges have set a new standard for leadership at CWC LA.

We are equally excited to welcome our new Board Co-Chairs, Sarah Angel and Jessica Smith, who step into their roles at a pivotal time for our organization. Their expertise in advocacy, communications, talent management, and change management will be invaluable in guiding us toward achieving our strategic goals.

To our returning Board members, many of whom are embracing new responsibilities, we deeply appreciate your passion, patience, and tireless commitment to our schools and students. Serving on a Board encompasses some of the most challenging aspects of leadership, and your volunteerism is a testament to your devotion to our mission. Together, your collective leadership inspires us, holds us accountable, and moves us ever closer to our goals. We are profoundly grateful for all that you do.

CWC LA attracts families not only for the diversity and social-emotional learning our students gain but also for the academic rigor of our curriculum. Our recent California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) scores reflect the hard work and dedication of our educators in providing an enriching learning experience.

California a ssesment of Student Performance and Progress (C aa SPP)

Overall percentage of students in grades 3-8 achieving levels 3 and 4 in Mathematics

Overall percentage of students in grades 3-8 achieving levels 3 and 4 in English Language Arts

We are proud of the overall percentage of students achieving levels 3 and 4 on English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for each CWC LA school and the region when compared to the relative performance of the local district, LAUSD, and the State of California.

OUR RESULTS

Serving our diverse student population

We are particularly proud of our comparison data for students in historically marginalized subgroups. As an intentionally diverse school, these results confirm that we are serving our diverse student body. Our CAASPP results confirm that our schools are maintaining yearly growth and that historically marginalized groups at CWC LA are achieving on par with, or better than, their peers.

Black/African American Hispanic/Latino Economically Disadvantaged English Learners Students with Disabilities

OUR COMMITMENT

While we celebrate the achievements of our CAASPP results, we know there is more work to further realize higher academic outcomes for all students and all components of the CWC LA mission. CWC LA is committed to bringing academic performance closer to pre-pandemic levels of achievement of which we know our schools and students are capable.

Here is an overview of the actions we are taking to drive these academic improvements forward:

E CH

Climate Change Curriculum

Although many climate lessons were available online CWC Silver Lake teacher, Brittany Jefferson, wanted to build a curriculum that could be integrated into all subjects and easily incorporated into CWC’s unique hands-on and collaborative learning model. She teamed up with two CWC fifthgrade teachers to pilot a comprehensive climate curriculum with interactive lessons for students. Students engaged in climate issues during all standards-based subjects. For a language arts lesson on persuasion, she gave her class the details of the then-pending Willow oil drilling

project in Alaska. Using that information, students wrote persuasive letters to President Biden either supporting or opposing the project. These letters were mailed to the White House.

In math class, students learned how to calculate area. This was an opportunity to measure the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the North Pacific Ocean, which led to important discussions on reducing its size and what actions could be taken to stop its growth.

Project

based Science Curriculum wins best Lesson Plan

CWC East Valley Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Willis, won the @petsintheclassroom Lesson Plan Contest. Her science curriculum centered on the use of her class pet, leopard gecko “Buddy”.

Students learned about animal habitats and designed a home for Buddy based on their research.

Project-based learning is part of the unique CWC LA learning model. Through meaningful and engaging projects students can make abstract learning concepts concrete. This type of learning produces reflective learners that can easily connect what they learn to their own lives. This fun, hands on science lesson plan is project-based learning at its best!

LgbTQIa+ Curriculum

This past year, as part of an initiative to cultivate a more culturally responsive and affirming learning environment, CWC Silver Lake proudly piloted an LGBTQIA+ inclusive curriculum across TK-5. Designed and developed by 5th grade teacher, Ms. Julia, in partnership with Lead Teachers and Specialists, the curriculum weaved Queer history, identity, and literature into the fabric of our teaching DNA, ensuring that every student, particularly those who identify as LGBTQIA+, saw themselves reflected and celebrated in the classroom.

The curriculum enhanced academic content in the classroom through lesson plans and activities by centering and championing Queer voices that have impacted and contributed to the advancement of social justice and human rights for the LGBTQIA+ community.

By embedding these lessons into our core instruction, and providing engaging community-facing activities as part of a Pride Spirit Week, we began taking intentional steps to empower Queer youth with the representation they deserve, while deepening all students’ understanding of diverse identities.

Looking ahead, we hope to embed this work in more intersectional and intentional spaces that align with our broader commitment to equity and social justice, ensuring that every student, regardless of their identity, thrives in an environment of dignity and respect.

Authentic family engagement is at the heart of what we do. When caregivers, students, neighbors, and staff come together, something truly magical happens. Our community events are a beautiful reflection of our diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, and interests. These moments remind us of the strength we have when we come together to build a true sense of belonging.

Here are a few examples from the many Community Events we held in 2023-24:

FESTIVALL - PRIDE EVENT

NUESTRAS RAICES FESTIVAL

WINTER CELEBRATION

ASIAN AMERICAN NIGHT MARKET

Engaged Spaces Collaboration

In 2023, we embarked on a collaboration with Engaged Spaces, a capacitybuilding consultancy firm that supports school leaders and educational professionals in nurturing inclusive environments and mobilizing highperforming teams. They have facilitated coaching sessions with schoolsite DEIB councils, made up of staff, caregivers, and organizational leaders across the region, in developing and implementing equity-centered strategic plans prioritizing key DEIB goals and initiatives. We look forward to continuing this partnership in the upcoming school year and working with facilitators to put these plans into action.

fostering Diverse Schools grant

Citizens of the World Los Angeles was awarded a Fostering Diverse Schools Grant (FDS) from the U.S. Department of Education, making us one of only two educational organizations in the country to be awarded this prestigious funding this year. CWC LA received $831,811 out of a total of $1.7 million awarded.

These funds will enable CWC LA to expand our equity-centered initiatives, including:

• Expanding professional development for educators on culturally responsive and anti-bias practices to support students

• Supporting the implementation of curriculum enhancements that emphasize racial and social justice

• Strengthening community engagement efforts to foster equitable representation, advocacy and belonging within historically marginalized communities

• Implementing equitable practices to reinforce strategic initiatives for building skill, will and capacity around DEIB literacy

• Building additional capacity for the Regional DEIB team to continue programming for staff, caregivers and students

• And so much more as we identify need

Bridges Collaborative National Convening: Fulfilling the Promise of brown

As part of our partnership with the Century Foundation, CWC LA participated in a two-day convening in Washington, D.C. where we commemorated the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision declaring that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” Educators from around the country came together to celebrate the 70th anniversary of that milestone in education and grapple with how much more work we still have to do to make the Court’s decision a reality.

CASE STUDY

CWC La black Teacher Experience

CWC has historically named the importance of diversity as a tenet of our identity as an organization. However, as we have experienced, the lines of difference and representation across our schools have not sustained our community in a way that promotes equitable belonging across all stakeholders. In line with CWC’s strategic priority to recruit, hire and retain BIPOC educators, with an emphasis on Black educators – we feel that it is important to underscore the significance in not only retaining Black educators, but sustaining them by addressing institutional inequities that have exacerbated marginalization, silenced their voices, and resulted in their departure from our organization.

To arrive at this juncture in developing inclusive and responsive practices to sustain Black educators, we first looked at the cause for Black educators

Why Diversity Matters

CWC LA schools are built on the belief that the diversity of our communities and of the world at large, is a great strength. Through targeted outreach and recruitment, our charter schools are intentionally designed to reflect their surrounding communities and the larger society in terms of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and all other forms of diversity, both seen and unseen.

By learning, interacting and growing in a diverse setting, our students are preparing to thrive in the pluralistic society they will soon join.

All our schools are united by our core values and are motivated by our commitment to DEIB. We are all accountable for our collective success.

WaTCH vIDEo

Grants from federal and state programs and private funders allow us to offer some of the programs that make CWC so special - our new Teacher Residency program, DEIB curriculum and programming, expansion on our current campuses, and the construction of new facilities. In addition to these important funds, we rely on each school community to unite in support of our fundraising efforts.

This year, we raised an impressive $1,378,646 through contributions from across the region,

with donations ranging from $1 to $100,000. The largest portion came from our Annual Family Give Campaign (AFG). The remaining funds were generated through various events such as Walk-A-Thons, auctions, celebrations, dine-out events, merchandise sales, corporate matching, community days, bingo nights, and more!

These funds are crucial for supporting programs including Art, Music, Mindfulness, Social Emotional Learning curriculum, Professional Development, and DEIB training.

We are incredibly grateful for each and every contribution. Every dollar really does add up!

In 2023, we embarked on an exciting endeavor to build and improve our current facilities, providing safe, innovative, and inspiring spaces that encourage academic growth and collaboration.

In just one year, we have merged our CWC Mar Vista middle school and elementary school into a TK-8th grade program, expanded our CWC West Valley campus by adding more classrooms and interactive spaces, and welcomed our CWC Silver Lake middle schoolers to their new, state-of-the-art campus.

A NEW CWC SILVER LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS a permanent home for our middle school program!

This highly anticipated campus opened its doors this Fall to welcome a new cohort of middle school students, as well as returning 6th graders from our CWC Silver Lake and Hollywood schools. Located just a few blocks away from our CWC Silver Lake Elementary School and only a 15 minute drive from our CWC Hollywood Elementary School campus, this exciting facilities project will provide these two communities with a continued TK – 8th grade education experience.

This campus was designed using feedback from our current middle school staff, teachers, and school leaders who ensured that every space was designed with our middle schoolers in mind. This state of the art facility includes a courtyard, outside lunch area and numerous places for students to gather and socialize. Multiple science labs, Arts, Theater, STEM, enrichment classrooms and a student store are some of the great features of this new campus! Plus, our new campus includes a full-sized basketball court to host middle school basketball games - Go Wolves!

CWC WEST VALLEY IS GROWING!

Full speed ahead towards a TK-8th grade program

Our CWC West Valley community is eager to grow! We are steadily making progress towards the next phase of a multi-year renovation project that will have transformative benefits for our current students and generations of students to come.

This project began last year with the renovation of existing buildings to add more classrooms, and improve restrooms and gym. With the support and partnership of the building owner, we have secured a 30-year lease that offers us the security to move on to the next phase of our expansion. We broke ground this summer and began the construction of a new building to allow us to expand to become a robust TK - 8th grade program. We are excited to offer this incredibly exciting opportunity for our current and future CWC West Valley families..

Project highlights:

• Brand new approximately 9,800 sq ft building

• Renovated outside field/turf and play structures

• Gym renovation

• Office reconfiguration

• Other updates and renovations

EXPANDING OUR CWC MAR VISTA CAMPUS a permanent home for our CWC Mar vista students!

This year, we celebrated a momentous occasion that had been years in the making. CWC Mar Vista now has a beautiful new campus where our TK—8th grade program can continue to thrive, uniting our community on a single block. Congratulations to our entire CWC Mar Vista community for reaching this milestone.

WaTCH US groW!

Why TK-8th?

Research shows that TK-8th grade schools provide a safe and nurturing environment where students create strong bonds with their classmates, teachers, and school community. Students in TK-8th grade schools are more confident, more comfortable taking risks, and more willing to learn new things, which leads to notable academic growth.

fewer Transitions

Our TK-8th grade program helps families avoid multiple transitions, which supports students’ socialemotional growth. Students become familiar with the buildings, scheduling, and staff. This inspires confidence that supports academic growth and mental health.

Lasting relationships

Our students grow from new learners to empathetic middle schoolers who become mentors to younger students. These middle schoolers build strong relationships with classmates, teachers, and staff who have known them for many years. Consistent connections are important during these formative years.

Strong Community

Our TK- 8th grade program supports families to build lasting friendships and feel invested in their school community. Our caregivers have the opportunity to learn together over 8+ years, sharing in special moments and overcoming challenges. This promotes a sense of community that leads to meaningful caregiver engagement.

INVESTING IN OUR STAFF

Teacher residency and Marshall Program

CWC LA launched a brand new teacher residency program for CWC LA faculty and staff. This program offered tuition reimbursement, stipends for mentor teachers, and created new pathways for career advancement for teachers wishing to grow within our organization.

We are partnered with Cal State and the Marshall Teacher Residency program to invest in our current staff with an emphasis on our BIPOC staff, by offering them additional education and training that will support all of our students for years to come.

Meet two of our Marshall Teacher residents

Savannah Elcock | CWC East Valley

Before pursuing her Marshall Teacher Residency, Savannah worked for five years as a teaching associate across grade levels and in the after-school program at CWC Silver Lake. The Marshall Teaching program provided 1:1 coaching and data-based feedback, supporting Savannah in receiving her teaching credential. During her residency, she worked closely with CWC teaching mentors and was provided hands-on experience in a TK classroom. After completing the program, Savannah was offered a Lead Teacher position at CWC East Valley.

“The program helped me further my career and teaching experiences.”
- Savannah Elcock

Adriana Gonzalez | CWC Silver Lake

Adriana was a teaching associate for six years at CWC Los Angeles, before pursuing the Marshall Teacher Residency. The program allowed her to dedicate herself to teaching professionally and learn from teaching mentors in a hands-on environment. As part of the program, she had the chance to lead a classroom and exercise creativity, expand her knowledge, and build on her experiences. After completing the program, Adriana was offered a Lead Teacher position at CWC Silver Lake.
