The Seattle Foundation’s commitment to building a healthy community for all King County residents remains as strong as ever. In 2008, with our donors, we granted more than $63 million to over 2000 organizations and promising initiatives in King County and beyond. Though our assets declined like most investments nationwide, The Seattle Foundation’s portfolio performed well when benchmarked against comparable endowments. In the longer term, The Seattle Foundation has outperformed portfolios comprised of traditional stocks and bonds due to prudent and responsible stewardship of charitable funds that has been the basis of our investment strategy for decades. The Seattle Foundation is also leading efforts to respond to increasing need in our community. Late last year The Seattle Foundation joined forces with the United Way of King County and other local funders to create the Building Resilience Fund—a three-year, $6 million effort to help local people who have been hardest hit by the economic downturn. Through this fund, we are bolstering the capacity of selected nonprofits to meet increasing basic needs and providing a network of services to put people on the road on self-reliance.

Unleash Powerful Teaching Strategies Based on the Science of Learning Presenter: Pooja K. Agarwal, Cognitive Scientist & Author; Patrice Bain, Veteran K-12 Educator and Speaker Chapel When we think about learning, we typically focus on getting information into students’ heads. What if, instead, we focus on getting information out of students’ heads? In this interactive session, presented by a cognitive scientist and a veteran K-12 teacher, you will learn how to harness powerful evidence-based strategies, including retrieval practice, spacing, and feedback-driven metacognition. Without extra prepping or grading, take your instruction to the next level and transform your students’ long-term learning. A03. Critical Thinking Presenter: Daniel Willingham, Professor at the University of Virginia Kemper Theater When asked to name our highest hope for schooling, most would suggest that we want to teach students to think critically; we don't want them merely to learn factual content, we want them to evaluate and integrate what they read and learn. That desire has taken on a new urgency in the Internet era, with tidal waves of information, and attendant charges of fake news. In this talk I will explain from a cognitive perspective why critical thinking is so difficult to teach and I will suggest curricular and instructional strategies to address these difficulties. A04. Belonging, Identity, and Behavior: Engaging diverse youth in schools Presenter: Janine Jones, PhD Great Hall This session will focus on promoting resilience and well-being of diverse students in schools.
