What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Classroom Grants
The Pasadena ISD Education Foundation provides opportunities for Pasadena ISD teachers to propose innovative classroom instruction activities that are designed to increase student academic achievement. The teachers that are awarded funding to implement their proposed instructional activities have demonstrated to the Foundation's Board that the activities will result in learning that goes beyond the resource capacity of the district, serves an identified learning need, and is aligned to the district's learning goals. The maximum a teacher can receive to support the expanded learning opportunity is $5,000.
Character Education
The Early Act First Knight (EAFK) Character Education program is designed to capture the imagination of elementary students while helping them develop resiliency skills to successfully and productively navigate challenging social environments. EAFK theme of Medieval knights and characters of a chivalric culture is appealing to elementary students, helping them learn The Code, a character-education curriculum based on Bloom's Taxonomy about ethics and giving service at school, at home, and in the community. It is taught by teachers in daily, ten-minutes segments, using age-appropriate lessons, literature, classroom discussion of quotes and their meanings, and through projects and activities that are completed at school and at home. While Early Act First Knight program occurs in the classroom, students are recognized outside the classroom by family and friends. Thus, knighting ceremonies are held to recognize students who demonstrate the qualities taught through EAFK.
After school programs
Pasadena Independent School District strives to provide a safe after-school environment through its after school programming. Typically, after-school programs begin within 15 minutes of the end of the school day until 6:00 p.m. at night. Without the after-school programs, many students go home from school to an empty household and because many live in poor neighborhoods that are not very safe, they must stay inside with the doors locked. The after-school programs allow students to stay in an enriching environment where they can participate in hands-on science, math, and reading learning that is aligned to their school day and enjoy activities such as chess, cooking, photography, soccer, fencing, and dancing.
