Student Historical Art Resource Program How Exactly Does The “What I’ve noticed with my son since beginning with SHARP is what it’s done to really renew his interest in creative writing. He’s journaling at home now, he writes all the time and he even writes plays and makes the whole family participate. It’s been really fascinating to see him get such a spark and a new-found love for writing that he didn’t previously have.” —Mother of a SHARP Second-Grader SHARP Students Read and Write! Literacy , Inc. Student Historical Art Resource Program 750 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive, Suite 311 Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 Student Historical Art Resource Program The SHARP Mission SHARP Literacy is committed to enhancing student skills in written and oral language, science and social studies by engaging young people in a creative learning experience that highlights art history and the visual arts. Forging meaningful connections to children of diverse cultural backgrounds, SHARP Literacy focuses on reaching urban elementary students in grades one through five. The SHARP Story Since 1996, SHARP Literacy programs incorporating the visual arts have given thousands of Milwaukee elementary students an important edge in research, interview, reading, writing, vocabulary and presentation skills. SHARP develops and provides lesson plans, teacher/student workbooks, Writing Challenges, field trips, activities, special projects and in-classroom guest visits for students who reside in some of Milwaukee’s most challenging neighborhoods. Elder and techer Phil Bautista takes a short break In addition to harnessing the power of the visual arts, all of SHARP’s with a fifth-grade participant during the April 2009 SHARP-sponsored Circle of Life discussion at core literacy programs and materials connect directly to Wisconsin’s Marquette University, a conversation focused on mandated elementary curricula standards. student solutions to racism and discrimination. Working each year with 5,000 students in 30-plus public and parochial schools, SHARP educators collaborate with classroom teachers to “roll the presses” on assorted books featuring student-written works inspired by the SHARP curricula — a process that annually turns thousands of children into published authors. Many of the books written by the students are in turn used as textbooks by other students for years to come. How Exactly Does the SHARP Program Work? THE EIGHT BUILDING BLOCKS 4.

    2018 ANNUAL REPORT HELPING BUSINESSES AND STUDENTS GROW TOGETHER NAVIGATING THE WORK-BASED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, 2018 for GPS Education Partners has been a pivotal year for our organization and those we serve. This year allowed the opportunity for our Board, team and partners to examine the work we do and further explore the power of Work-based Learning (WBL) to provide, not just an alternative path to success, but to be an integral part of the rejuvenation of career-based education across the nation. I am proud of the innovative education programs we have offered over the past 18 years. We have changed the story for so many young people, and have learned a lot along the way. Throughout this journey, we have remained focused on providing solutions in education that help students “THE RELATIONSHIPS I'VE MADE develop the skills, passion, and confidence to pursue technical careers that are essential in supporting businesses and communities. We have leveraged the experience and expertise of our amazing staff to produce more unique solutions that propel our work and position us as a champion of Work-based Learning. WITH MY MENTORS ARE SPECIAL We have been very busy this past year, focusing on delivering the high-impact programming that enabled almost 100 students to successfully transition from high school, with real-world experience in manufacturing, into career pathways TO ME BECAUSE THE PEOPLE AT that leverage post-secondary education and placed into high-demand roles with local employers. As has been an essential component of our program, many of these students benefited from the immersive, supportive learning environment in our community-sponsored Education Centers.

  • 2014 Annual Report*
    Betty Brinn Children’s Museum 2014 Annual Report* 20annivethrsary edition April 2014 marked the beginning of our 20th year of operation, prompting us to take a look back at where we started…and how far we have come. The Museum has benefitted more than 3.5 million people since opening and the children we first welcomed now visit with their own kids. In 1995, we had 1,073 member families – all new! Today, we have almost 4,600 new and renewing members, and member visits in 2014 topped 80,000 – 11 times greater than in our opening year. We are grati- fied that so many families have made the Museum experience part of their lives. We have worked hard over the years to address our growing audience and reflect current trends in education, and we are proud to be considered one of the best children’s museums in the nation and one of Milwaukee’s most respected family destinations. Research continues to underscore the importance of early education and the profound impact of experiences like those provided by the Museum on a child’s capacity to become an accomplished student and a productive adult. Ever-changing community needs, the academic performance of area children, emerging technologies, new approaches to parenting, studies about how children learn, and local economic and workforce initiatives have guided our development of educational exhibits, programs and services for children and families from throughout the region and beyond. Although the Museum has grown dramatically over the past two decades, our mission remains unchanged: We are dedicated to providing hands-on experiences that prepare children for academic success and help adults understand the positive influence of early education on a child’s school readiness, values and lifelong love of learning.

  • Annual Report 2010
    Betty Brinn Children’s Museum Annual Report 2010 Page 1 A door is an invitation to DISCOVER what lies on the other side, especially in the ever-expanding world of a child. Opening doors can lead to new discoveries, ideas, and to a bright future. The Betty Brinn Children’s Museum is one of our community’s most important family resources, providing educational opportunities that benefit almost 200,000 children and adults each year. Our Annual Report highlights just a few of our many accomplishments in 2010 – doors we opened in support of our mission to promote the profound influence of early learning on a child’s success in school, and for a lifetime. National attention about the importance of early childhood development is growing, and research continues to highlight the importance of early learning to school readiness and, in the longer term, to local workforce development and the economic vitality of our nation. In 2010, the Museum continued to strengthen its position as a leader in the emerging field of early education by creating exhibits and programs that reflect current state academic standards, as well as developmental milestones recognized by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and national academic objectives. Although 2010 was one of the most successful years in the Museum’s history, the unexpected closure of the O’Donnell Park garage in June challenged us to address our visitors’ needs and concerns. The Museum was successful in securing convenient and affordable temporary parking for Museum visitors, and we are pleased to share that we finished the year with our second highest attendance since opening.
