Opening Hearts & Minds For 20 Years There is nothing in the world like the joy that comes with learning. To a child, discovery isn’t a process, it’s play! We are all born wondering, inquisitive, and curious beyond belief. But some children are born to learn differently, and this is a story that’s dedicated to them - to the children who work harder to achieve what others take for granted. To their families and teachers who work harder, too. To every individual who has to dig deeper, study longer, push past and plow ahead: Go. These words appeared in our Year 5 annual report and resonate just as clearly today. Together, we have empowered a generation of leaders, dreamers, and doers to create lifelong success. Thank you for your partnership. Every child’s triumph in learning is a victory for us all.
Letter from the Board Dear Donors, Patrons, and Friends, Over the past few years, we have had the pleasure of watching Lee Pesky Learning Center raise the bar as a leader in education on a national level. While there are many challenges confronting education today – from a national special educator shortage to budget shortfalls for classroom intervention and more rigorous education standards – we’ve seen our determined staff and leadership unite to find solutions that support children, families, and schools. In the face of a national crisis for certified special educators, LPLC partnered with Boise State University to develop the Special Education Collaborative, providing high-quality learning experiences and fieldwork under the mentorship of Center staff that culminates in a master’s degree and special education certification. Amidst budget shortfalls and more rigorous education standards, our leadership team secured funding to bring our professional development courses online so educators all across the country could access our trainings. We’ve worked in partnership with foundations to develop school-based models that do not compromise the integrity of our work and successfully engaged the Idaho Legislature in progressive financing legislation – Pay for Success – to enhance funding opportunities that will allow us to scale our programming to meet the needs of every child who needs us. As we move forward to 2017 and beyond, we are so proud of what we have accomplished, and we are eternally grateful to everyone who helped lay the groundwork for the astounding feats we have achieved in our short 20 year history. Thank you for your steadfast commitment to ensure every child succeeds. With gratitude, Mike Shaughnessy, Board Chair Greg Pesky, Vice Chair

Idaho’s Comprehensive Literacy Plan As a response to the significant number of Idaho students who were completing high school with poor reading skills, LPLC leadership helped pass the Idaho Literacy Act in 1999. The act established a reading assessment tool, the Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI), outlined a student intervention program for K-3 students who were not meeting grade-level reading benchmarks, and enlisted LPLC to develop and teach a graduate-level comprehensive literacy course that all K-8 teachers in Idaho are required to pass before providing reading instruction.

Former First Lady, Laura Bush, visited Boise as a guest speaker for “The Beginnings – Early Learning Summit for the Northwest Region,” hosted by Lee Pesky Learning Center and Former First Lady of Idaho, Patricia Kempthorne. Seven nationally recognized leaders and 550 participants from eight Northwest states attended. The summit shared insights on the link between quality early learning experiences and educational success, the workforce, and society.

The Idaho Early Literacy Project Launched in 2005 by LPLC, the Idaho Early Literacy Project supports early education for Idaho’s preschool-aged children. Through a congressional appropriation in 2008, under the leadership of Congressman Mike Simpson, the project provided free literacy training to 800 early care providers and distributed 38,000 copies of early literacy booklets to parents of newborns in hospitals statewide. To date, the Center has trained more than 1,600 early care providers in Idaho. Photo courtesy of The Idaho Statesman
A Look Back 2015 Special Education Collaborative The Special Education Collaborative was launched in 2015 to address the shortage of qualified Special Educators nationwide. Teacher candidates (a.k.a. Pesky Scholars) earn a Master’s in Teaching and special education certification by satisfying coursework through Boise State University and completing an intensive internship under the guidance of LPLC specialists. In January 2016, the Special Education Collaborative was featured on NPR’s Weekend Edition. Listen to the full interview here: www.lplearningcenter.org/special-education-collaborative.

Turning 20 stories from two decades
Building Confidence “Best. Day. Ever.” These were the first words out of my daughter’s mouth after her first week of third grade this year, quickly followed by “I got to show everyone how to do a math problem on the board and I was the only one who knew how to do it.” We brought Delphine to LPLC a year and a half ago as a second grader scoring at a late kindergarten math level and learned she was not understanding fundamental math concepts because of memory and anxiety issues. The Center matched our daughter with an Education Specialist, Pragnyaa, whose patient, friendly approach has given her confidence. They have built a special bond that’s helped our daughter succeed. Pragnyaa customizes lessons to Delphine’s learning style, interests, and even her mood on any given day.
The student-teacher relationship makes LPLC stand out for our family. And the results speak for themselves. Laura Loftus Current Center Client
Opening Doors When our oldest son was diagnosed with dyslexia we immediately called LPLC. In fact, all three of our children received services from LPLC and have reached beyond what they thought was possible. And it wasn’t just the kids who learned. The staff at LPLC spent as much time teaching us and holding our hands into the next chapter of our lives. The most important message that LPLC taught ALL of us was how to advocate for ourselves. Part of that journey was strengthening each child’s self esteem and understanding that they truly deserved the attention. This lesson weaved its way through many parts of our lives, giving each of us the confidence to speak to others about this challenge. We recognized that because of dyslexia, each of our kids had to learn to work more creatively with a tremendous amount of determination in order to achieve their goals. So with this skill set, as young adults their reward has been great. John Michael is the co-developer and managing partner of the largest express car wash in the nation, The Metro Express. Camille is a recruiter for Stryker, a national medical device company. Her accolades stem from work ethic and creativity. Dominick is in
his junior year of college, serving as president of his fraternity while achieving the Dean’s List each semester. Our gratitude to LPLC for their knowledge, experience, and compassion is beyond measure. Patty and Mike Fery Alumni Family of LPLC
Changing the Future Imagine forever changing the trajectory of a child’s life. Imagine lifting the overwhelming burden of learning difficulties; imagine enhancing the self-esteem, enthusiasm, and creativity of a struggling student. Now imagine the Lee Pesky Learning Center. There are so many wonderful nonprofits that are able to execute on a noble mission. Some provide important experiences that create memories or new insight; others move us toward a more sustainable world. And still others improve the health and wellness of so many. But to have such a direct impact on the skills, achievement and confidence of a young person, and forever change his or her future, is a most noble endeavor. I am honored to be able to help. Dan Hunt Generous LPLC donor since 1999
Pushing Boundaries I remember the day I said ‘yes’ to Blossom Turk when she called and asked if I would be the Director of Education, opening a learning center for individuals with dyslexia. I had been teaching children with learning disabilities for 20 years and knew that this was going to be an opportunity to be a part of something really exciting. My decision to collaborate on that day was the beginning of our efforts in building this prominent
learning center, recognized locally and nationally for its devotion to enriching the lives of individuals, their families, teachers, and schools. I have so many fond memories of my time at LPLC working alongside Dr. Turk and sharing the Center’s resources with our community. In 1999, Blossom and I, working with a legislative committee, were the principal authors of the Idaho
Literacy Initiative. The legislative act set a national precedent for commitment to research-based assessment and professional development for teachers that would improve reading instruction throughout Idaho. It was landmark legislation and work that I am so very proud to have been a part of. Twenty years later, Lee Pesky Learning Center, through the efforts of many, continues to validate itself as an established and trusted source of hope for those learning how to read. Several years ago one of the Center’s students told me, “If you don’t learn how to read, you don’t have a life.” Lee Pesky Learning Center gives life to those who feel lost. Deborah Glaser, EdD Director of Education and Training - 1996-2002
“They know not where they are going, for the ocean will decide. It’s not the destination, but the glory of the ride.” Edward Monkton
You Inspire Us! Dear Friends, Over the past 20 years, we’ve worked together to transform the lives of more than 7,500 students, families, and schools through individual evaluation and intervention support, and professional development that brings LPLC’s strategies into classrooms across our five-state reach.
Without you, we could never have achieved so much. You have helped create thousands of individual success stories from people who have put their trust in the Center and our highly trained, dedicated staff. You have inspired lifetimes of learning for children who thought they could never learn to read or write. You have given educators the tools to support children with learning challenges in their classrooms and helped train the next generation of special educators. You’ve taught parents and families how to support their students through times of social, emotional, and academic struggle, and you’ve inspired children with learning disabilities to embrace their strengths and use those strengths to selfadvocate for their needs. You inspire us, and we look forward to partnering with you to build a brighter future for people with learning disabilities for the next 20 years.
With gratitude, Evelyn
A Look Forward - How We’re Expanding Impact Social Impact We serve hundreds of children at our centers every year, but there are so many children who need support. We’re committed to scaling our impact to change the trajectory for people with learning and attention challenges – by expanding our teacher training to make sure every child gets off to a great start learning to read; by developing school-based models and tools to replicate our methods; by training those new to the field; and by working with parents and communities to help children learn to read.
Service For 20 years, we’ve provided one-to-one reading services in our Centers. Now, we’re scaling our impact through small group, school-based models to allow more children to have access to effective reading interventions.
Training Did you know that there are critical shortages of special education teachers, school psychologists, and social workers prepared to work with people with learning disabilities? Through our internship programs, we’re preparing the next generation of professionals.
Research Self-regulation is a critical part of the learning process. We’re investigating the impact of a preventive approach to develop self-regulation skills in the classroom – if effective, our research may offer a proactive way to help children learn how to manage and cope with stress to improve their learning.
We Rely on Your Donations Effectively supporting students with learning disabilities requires resources above and beyond what the public education system can offer in many states, including Idaho. In 2014, a national average of $12,296 was spent on public education per student. In Idaho, education spending per student was $6,650, ranking 50th in the nation.
Your financial support brings high-quality programming into our classrooms and scholarship funding for evaluation and personalized learning services to students with LD. It also ensures our teachers have the latest research methods to jumpstart a lifetime of opportunities for children who struggle with learning and attention issues.
