The UCDS Mission
, University Child Development School designs a culture of inquiry essential to meaningful learning. We cultivate reflective, collaborative, skillful thinkers who ignite positive change in their communities. We engage diverse perspectives in an ongoing effort to shape & share our innovative education model.
FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear UCDS Families, Our 2020-21 Annual Report is here! As we reflect on the past year, we are amazed at the resilience of our school community. A great deal of debt is owed to our parents, guardians, and UCDS Board of Trustees who worked tirelessly alongside our faculty and staff to creatively and dynamically help our school year unfold. We built literal and figurative bridges during the second year of the pandemic, encapsulated in the creative and dynamic curriculum inspired by our school-wide theme, BRIDGE.
The year also saw our Board, led by alum parent Will Kiefer, steadfastly launch several strategic initiatives that will elevate our teaching culture, sustain our community, and influence the quality of education beyond our walls. Below are several highlights of the important work UCDS is doing to inspire the next generation of exceptional students and educators.
03 20-21 ANNUAL REPORT
From our Community Friday virtual school days when a UCDS parent-architect routinely visited and shared real-world bridge conceptions, to the Early Elementary Read Aloud Heartwood Hotel providing social-emotional support for our youngest students, our curriculum continued to shine. Our community events also adapted, from a socially-distant Moving On ceremony to our first-ever virtual Grandparents and Special Friends Day and Auction, and other Parent Guardian Association events. Our parent leaders, PGA President Alexis Rubinstein, Auction Co-Chairs Kate Gardner and Trey Powell, and the UCDS Fund Committee adapted and made the magic within our ever-changing “new normal.”
Our teaching culture remains at the heart of our success each year. Teaching teams design and redesign our hallmark programs with a fresh perspective, gained through collaboration and partnership with teachers and schools worldwide. Over the past five years, we have restructured our Teacher Education Center and launched our UCDS Institute. When schools were closed abruptly in March 2020, UCDS quickly opened a platform to share our curricula with parents and teachers around the world. As of today, over 41 thousand educators have used the lessons we posted on the online learning portion of our website. An inclusive and diverse community is essential as our children learn to see the world from the widest perspective and prepare to solve problems through discourse and collaboration. Our faculty have done deep work over the past four years, using every in-service day to elevate our understanding and commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Belonging. This work is ongoing and critical to our success, as we recruit and admit families that reflect the diverse (Continued > )

ethnicities, languages, and cultures of our city. Within the past six years, UCDS has seen a 15% growth in the ethnic diversity of our student population, and for the 2020-2021 school year, 45% of the community identified as a family of color. Our Board has also prioritized funding that provides access to our program by assigning 55% of our endowment release to Tuition Assistance. Including additional aid to families during the Covid pandemic, UCDS awarded $1.17M in 2020-2021. This level of assistance has been made possible by brilliant volunteers and generous donors who have built our endowment over the past two decades. In 2015, the UCDS Board decided to continue to grow the endowment by allocating 25% of annual UCDS Fund giving to the corpus, contributing $45OK since that time. Education quality for children requires exceptional professional support for faculty. Over the past 25 years, we have built a vibrant learning/teaching culture informed by our support of an annual cohort of Resident Teachers, who bring a diversity of lived experiences to our conversations. Our 2015 initiative to Influence Education Quality aimed to build on all that we have learned by launching a graduate program for educators. In January 2019, our UCDS College for School Culture was authorized by the Washington Student Achievement Council, and our first cohort of graduate students, who began their studies in August 2020, will graduate this June. 04 20-21 ANNUAL REPORT
The UCDS Board appreciates the exceptional time, generosity, and creativity our community has contributed to realize our success. The school has acquired property to the north, south, and east of our campus over the past five years to support the future growth of our Studio, Graduate School and main campus programs, and the addition of a new Middle School. The 2020-2021 school year built on all we have accomplished and we are grateful to the leadership of our community of families, faculty, staff, and alums who continue to make our bright vision for the future possible. This past year required learning, then re-learning again and again how to best navigate the changing dynamics of education in a pandemic. We remain so very grateful for the exceptional support of our families during this turbulent time. Our students and faculty are the real heroes of the past school year as they continued to collaborate, learn, and grow together. The flexibility, adaptability, and ingenuity required are skills our students embrace; they also serve as timely reminders that learning is never done, no matter our age or background.

06 20-21 ANNUAL REPORT
Rebecca Stuart has been an inspiration to the entire UCDS community. She stepped up as Co-Chair of the 2015 UCDS Auction as a 5thgrade parent and rallied our entire community to a record level of participation that funded upgraded technology everywhere in the school. She joined the Board of Trustees later that year and helped craft our 2015 Strategic Plan. Notably, during her Board tenure, $450K was added to our Endowment from annual fundraising. She was first a member, and then Chair of the Trustees Committee, where she helped us think more strategically about our Board’s composition, training, and support. Our Board work rests on the framework she has built, and we wish her much success and happiness in her next endeavors.

• Model communication and collaboration • Build coaching strategies for reflective teaching practice • Steward a school culture of inquiry and innovation College for School Culture faculty are extending the professional learning culture and values of the UCDS community to the graduate school. By working to create a learning community that mirrors the learning environment we create for UCDS children, our College for School Culture faculty are inspiring the first cohort of graduate students.
Everyone at UCDS shares the expectation of excellence and active engagement to create joyful and meaningful learning. At every level, faculty collaborate to build, implement, evaluate, and revise our educational programs. As we examine the design of our programs together, we challenge and inspire each other to stretch and iterate on an exceptional and personalized program for our graduate students. (Continued > )
Faculty share insights from their experiences teaching graduate students:
David Garrick
I truly enjoy working with teachers because it is in their nature to want to learn and to share that learning with others. Teaching is a creative profession. The future of teaching demands that we embody what we hope to see in our students. The UCDS College for School Culture is dedicated to bringing creative, collaborative, engaged, and compassionate critical thinkers into the field of education–teachers who see themselves as the designers of meaningful experiences and as leaders in their communities.
UCDS INFANT-TODDLER EDUCATION 08 20-21 ANNUAL REPORT
Katie Morrison

In designing the courses, we consider the content and practicum experiences for a big range of teaching, from early childhood through middle school. Every course has this practicum aspect, and it’s always a really interesting part of students’ growth as teachers. We ask students to apply what they are learning, and faculty think about how this can be done for a lot of different settings. When the graduate students come back and share what they observed with their own classes, we are able to see commonalities and differences that spark ideas for each student’s unique context. We also learn a lot about what action research looks like in education. The scientist in me is excited about the topics second year students have decided to explore, and I look forward to their data analysis! They’re becoming experts on those topics, and we all learn so much from their research.
Nancy Kiefer

As I reflect on teaching at the College for School Culture, I recall the excitement I felt when hearing the voices of our graduate students. I enjoyed their fresh ideas, their questioning curiosity and openness to diverse opinions. I started my teaching career at a university before I worked with children, and upon coming full circle, I felt the exhilaration that comes when the voice of the student is encouraged and honored, at any age and at any time. Teaching about creating classrooms with student agency in mind opened me to new practices that honor the voices of my own UCDS students and the importance of designing space and time for them to do that in my classes. Now when I teach, I remember to step back and listen in a deeper way.

We acknowledge in the first moments of class that we are on a never ending journey to understand how students learn. For me, teaching graduate students has solidified my belief that teachers need to continue learning and trying new ways to engage, support, and challenge students. The graduate students are asked to begin collecting and organizing resources that will be most useful to them now and in the future. In order to help students find resources that are most useful to their unique needs, we ask the students to help drive the discussions and, as a result, I am learning along with them.
Melinda Deal
(right)
Having taught at UCDS for thirty years, it is like my own capstone project to teach graduate students in the College for School Culture. It has been challenging and rewarding to design courses for teachers to deeply examine school culture. The world, and therefore the field of education, is changing so quickly that as instructors we are constantly gathering new resources and revising our content–learning along the way.

I love that the graduate program is responsive to students' needs and practicum-based students bring their experience to their own classes. I know they are taking away an ability to continue to question, reflect, innovate, and collaborate.

With the superabundance of information about the world around us, the essence of what something truly is becomes complicated. To understand the true culture of any school is important because it reveals the active framework and basis of the real work of the institution. Learning and how we are taught to learn are marks of a common culture and reveal our true values, ethics, and goals.

STRENGTHENING OUR FOUNDATION
UCDS Infant-Toddler Program “The Studio” Is Expanding
The COVID Pandemic made clear that quality early childhood education is essential. As parents and caregivers grappled to redefine their working norms, it became apparent that early-childhood educators, and institutions, are vital to the fabric of our society. In 2007, UCDS launched our Infant/Toddler program, striving to keep UCDS teachers and administrators in the workforce by providing a place for them to entrust their youngest children. Since its opening, the program has grown to include infants and toddlers from around our community.
Studio Director, Katie Walters-Krohn, has been with the program since its inception, witnessing and cultivating its purpose and growth. In the last five years, demand for the program has outpaced available spots by tenfold. The Studio’s success is the result of value-driven design and a strong culture of reflective practice, inspired by the Reggio-Emilia Approach. The Studio sees children as active participants and co-constructors of knowledge who seek meaning and build understanding through relationship and connection with others and the world around them. These values guide teachers as they develop individualized curriculum and create intentional environments and experiences for students.
THE UCDS PROGRAM: Treats our youngest learners as capable and contributing members of their communities Values children’s voices, interests, and choices as an essential part of their day at school Entrusts and elevates educators to create dynamic curriculum that reflects the culture of children, teachers, and families in our community.
Opportunities to expand the Studio cannot come soon enough as demand in Seattle and surrounding neighborhoods drives exceptional interest in our program. We look forward to offering more spots for our community as our spaces grow.

20-21 ANNUAL REPORT
In addition to what we provide for students and their families, UCDS has long sought to elevate the early-childhood profession. The Studio carves out time for professional development and collaborative planning time for teaching teams, an opportunity that is often lacking in other early childhood programs. These essential opportunities for dialogue are where teachers design educational experiences inspired by children’s interests and where the culture of inquiry-based learning is shaped. What Studio teachers are always holding at the forefront of their minds is the belief that even very young students have interests and ideas that are worth exploring. Our role as teachers is to reflect children’s ideas back to them through the curriculum we design. In doing so we communicate to children that their ideas are valued, they have ownership over their educational experiences, and they are the drivers of their own learning.
Did You Know? The UCDS Studio’s vision was brought to life with a generous gift from a family in the early 2000s. The family purchased a neighborhood home for our program to operate. When it opened, the Studio had only a few children. Today, more than 30 students attend the program. Our vision for expansion is to provide a vibrant learning community full of joy and exploration that nurtures and sparks exceptional development for UCDS’s youngest community members. With the expansion, we will create a permanent home for the Studio while also responding to the increased demand for quality early-childhood education in our community. We hope our new home will serve as a hub for collaboration and conversation between early childhood educators around the city. For more information on this expansion, please contact Studio Director Katie Walters-Krohn katiew@ucds.org or Development Director Elise Ricci eliser@ucds.org.

C o n n e c t i o n s
The 2020-2021 school year marked a new way to BRIDGE connections with our alums near and far. In February of 2021, we created a new alum Instagram account, @ucds_alum, and quickly made connections with over 900 former students, parents, and teachers. The site is overseen by Ellen Cottrell, a teacher at UCDS since 2000 who has worked with the vast majority of the alums and parents following the profile. In a year when we weren’t able to have our regular in-person get-togethers because of COVID protocols, this new means of communication rekindled some welcome familiar connections.
We invite current parents and guardians to follow our Instagram Alum account where you’ll find relevant news, alum updates, and flashbacks from our extensive photo archive. We hope to see you there! Here are some exciting alum updates from 20-21 as seen on the ‘gram!
