Annual Summary

2017/2018 Annual Report

2

Dear friends of Neuhaus,

The 2017-2018 school year was a year of triumphs, challenges, and unexpected

opportunities that have given Neuhaus the chance to stretch our capacity

and live up to our mission at an extraordinary level. In spite of school calendar

delays caused by Hurricane Harvey, the exciting outcomes of our focused

efforts are irrefutable. The districts and individuals we serve are rolling out

plans to shape change through evidenced-based reading instruction with

the goal of sustainability in mind. It means the world to me to partner with

superintendents who are genuinely excited by the opportunity to get reading

right for their students.

It is with the deepest gratitude that I extend a huge “thank you” to each one

of you who has given of your time, talent, and finances to support our purpose

as a learning organization. Because of you, schools that Texas labeled as

“improvement required” have moved the needle to meet and exceed state

standards. Because of you, the work of training dyslexia interventionists is

being scaled across the Houston Independent School District. Because of

you, adults who fell through the cracks academically are learning to read and

enjoying new professional opportunities.

We are relentless about getting to the root of making reading success for

all a reality. Students in every zip code, rural or urban, deserve well-trained

teachers. We at Neuhaus are prepared to step up to the challenge so that

the problem of illiteracy is eradicated and human potential is advanced in

the wonderful city of Houston and beyond. Thank you for caring deeply and

embracing our mission in action, word, and deed.

Tracy Weeden, Ed.D. President & CEO

Adrienne Randle Bond Chair, Board of Trustees

Dear friends of Neuhaus,

As we look back over the tumultuous events of the past year, I can only add

accolades for the Neuhaus organization. Two huge events in our community

shaped our year: Hurricane Harvey and the loss of our beloved friend and mentor,

Barbara Bush. These were events that proved the resilience of Neuhaus and its

determination to serve the education needs of our communities. In Hurricane

Harvey, not only did our facility serve as an impromptu rescue area for local

police, but all of our staff stretched out their hands, personally and professionally,

and embraced the extra work to repair and move on. Every school in the area was

affected in some way, and Neuhaus scrambled to help replace missing books and

supplies, to rearrange schedules and training locations, and to help each affected

client maintain and reach the professional development and education goals that

they had set before the storm.

The loss of Mrs. Bush was personal for all of us at Neuhaus. She was our supporter

from the first day. She hosted the first luncheon and spoke at others. Her most

important support, again, was her ever-present example of deep kindnesses and

concerns for those in need of assistance in acquiring reading skills. It will be a

transition for all of us to replace the energy of her humanity with the icon of her

image, but we must endeavor to exceed her expectations for us.

Notwithstanding the turbulance of the past year, as you will see from this report,

Neuhaus moved forward in significant growth, both in numbers and in our view of

the changes we can affect in the education world. Our staff’s depth of knowledge

increases as services continue to expand. Neuhaus could not have done any of

this without support from friends like you, who also supported us despite the

tumults you experienced through this year. Please accept our thanks for another

wonderful year.

Bonham Elementary, Houston Independent School District

The elementary school located in the Sharpstown neighborhood was labeled by the State as “Improvement Required” for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years. Principal Anna White was determined to change the course for her students.

The campus was selected by the district to participate in a donor-funded program which provided Neuhaus training and coaching to teachers. These teachers implemented evidence-based literacy instruction with fidelity in their classrooms.

Beaumont Independent School District

Even in the wake of Harvey, Beaumont ISD reduced the number of schools that did not meet state standards from 10 to 6. The State of Texas granted the district a waiver for the 2017-2018 school year to accommodate for the destruction, yet the district persisted.

Neuhaus began working with elementary schools in the district in 2017 to provide professional development and coaching to teachers. The plan is to deepen this partnership over time by incorporating more grade levels and campuses, with an ultimate goal of implementing Neuhaus practices district-wide.

Turning Schools AroundFrom “Improvement Required” to “Met Standard” in the wake of Hurricane Harvey

Hurricane Harvey made an unforgettable impact on our communities along the Gulf Coast. During a time when families would have typically been organizing school supplies and finishing back-to-school shopping, the focus was on survival. Every school in the affected area was forced to delay the school start date and, in many cases, lost more than 10 instructional days. Despite these setbacks, administrators, teachers, parents, and students persevered.

Neuhaus is grateful to have been part of the solution during the 2017-2018 school year. Among the schools we worked with a few achieved especially remarkable results.

TEACHER PROFILE

Courtney Holt, M.Ed., CALT“I am drawn to kids, and I love to read,” said Courtney Holt, a newly certified academic language therapist from Bald Knob, Arkansas. Courtney completed the Neuhaus Dyslexia Preparation Program in May. She serves students in Grades K-12 in a district with one elementary, one middle, and one high school.

“Neuhaus was different [than previous literacy professional development] in that there was brain research, history of language, and understanding of rules for reading and spelling. Reading has always come easy for me. But when I started teaching, my students would ask why and have trouble understanding. I would not know the answers to their questions or be able to explain the reason behind the rules. This program gave me answers and allowed me to understand how reading works.”

Courtney said, “I came to Houston three times during my certification [training]. A few follow-up days were offered to me through video sessions—such a huge help to me with time and money. My wonderful district paid for me to participate in this program! It took me three years to complete.

The staff at Neuhaus encourage, support, scaffold, critique, guide, and teach you the foundational skills to be knowledgeable and confident. They also make you feel like family, and I live 500 miles away! My experience there was simply, completely positive.”

Since implementing Neuhaus strategies, Courtney said, “I have noticed many changes in my students, but confidence is the main one. They feel empowered by the skills they are acquiring and applying. They don’t feel like they are “stupid” (their word, not mine) or can’t learn. Some of my high school students were just saying how they read faster, spell better, and can figure out more words within text.

I am more intentional in analyzing what my students need. I have a deeper understanding of the reading process and how all the components work together enabling me to focus and meet their individual needs while following the program.

There have been students before that I have not been able to help. I believe the dyslexia preparation program can help teachers help all students. I am thankful for that belief and empowerment.”

“I have noticed many changes in my students, but confidence is the main one. They feel empowered by the skills they are acquiring and applying.”

Imagine students on all 284 campuses in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) having access to a dyslexia interventionist. That is the long-term goal of Tammy Spencer, M.Ed., CALT, senior manager for dyslexia services with HISD. For the past four years, Spencer has led the charge to improve how the district identifies and provides support services to dyslexic students. This unprecedented initiative calls for the district’s dyslexia interventionists to participate in Neuhaus’ Dyslexia Specialist Preparation Program. “My goal is to have certified academic language therapists (CALTs) through the professional learning and coaching program at Neuhaus Education Center. That’s my ultimate dream,” Spencer says.

Neuhaus Education Center is excited to be a partner in making that dream a reality. In the spring of 2017, “We were able to receive general funding, with our superintendent supporting it, to train our first cohort of 32 dyslexia interventionists in Year One of the Basic Language Skills [series], the core of

the Neuhaus curriculum. It included Reading Readiness and online coaching,” Spencer explained. “All year we’ve been busy and really, really focusing in on determining who our strong interventionists are who get to do the work,” she added. In August of 2018, a cohort of 80 dyslexia interventionists began taking Neuhaus’ Reading Readiness course. Later that month, the Center was bursting at the seams as the large cohort attended their first Basic Language Skills course on site. This project was made possible by a one-million-dollar grant HISD received from the Texas Education Agency.

HISD and Neuhaus have collaborated in professional learning for structured literacy instruction since 1987. “The power of our partnership with Neuhaus Education Center —that’s the key. I’m just a voice, but without Neuhaus, I couldn’t be here because they are nurturing my teachers and coaching them. Neuhaus is staying involved,” Spencer stated.

Leaving a Legacy of LiteracyBob Kirkland, a Neuhaus Education Center trustee, was diagnosed with dyslexia in second grade when his mother kept asking “Why

can’t Bobby read?” With the support of his tutor Lenox Reed, who later became Founding Director of the Center, Bob overcame his challenges to find success. “I was tutored by Lenox every day from 7:00-8:00 A.M. Not only did Lenox help remediate my dyslexia, but I got to know her family well as they scrambled to get to school on time.”

Later, Bob’s son Pierce was also diagnosed with dyslexia, which is a very common pattern. In fact, one of the strongest risk factors for dyslexia is having a close family member with reading challenges.

“The Neuhaus Education Center parent resource office was my first stop when Pierce’s dyslexia emerged. The knowledgeable staff guided me to the support and advocacy my family needed.

I know firsthand how it feels to struggle with reading and to be a parent of a struggling reader. My experience has moved me to include Neuhaus in my will and as a beneficiary of an IRA. I feel proud of ensuring that Neuhaus Education Center will be there to support students and families for years to come.”

Persistence Breeds Success for Adult Literacy LearnerDanny Bean, 60, has come a long way since a prison educator made him stand in the hallway with his nose against the wall when he told her he was not learning. He says that experience with a teacher when he was incarcerated taught him humility. The teacher later admitted she didn’t know how to teach Bean, who was diagnosed with two forms of dyslexia. Studies have shown that 60% of all prison inmates are functionally illiterate and 50% are dyslexic.

Years later, he found the Margaret H. Ley Adult Literacy Program at Neuhaus Education Center and calls the teachers there his “angels.” He says when he applies the strategies his Neuhaus teacher Suz Hall taught him, “Bam! I get it. I’m like, oh, my God! I’m learning to break words down into syllables. It’s amazing!”

Bean recently began his second year in the program. “After two semesters of learning some strategies for decoding words, he’s been able to run with it,” Hall said. “He had a habit of guessing. He kept running into brick walls. He had no strategies. Now he has enough strategies that he is probably past where we are in the class. He started understanding how it all worked. I’ve seen his reading improve enormously from the beginning of last fall (2017) to the beginning of last spring (2018).”

“This is the first teacher I came this far with,” Bean said. “Either I was incarcerated, and it was time to go home, or I was living unstable from pillar to post. Now, I’m holding my own.”

Bean is still faced with challenges due to his reading disability such as reading medicine bottle labels and his mail. “There are things that I would like to do that I know are probably too late. They have slipped through my hands like grains of sand, but I’m still not giving up.”

“I just keep trying to pursue. I’ve always been a fighter of something I thought was right like even this (learning to read). I kept fighting for it.”

Bean made it to ninth grade in school. A deeply spiritual man, he says he is looking forward to being able to read the Bible for himself.

The 2018 Annual Benefit Luncheon Literacy Lights the Way took place Friday, April 13th, 2018 at the Marriott Marquis Houston Hotel.

The luncheon—which was attended by almost 900 guests—raised $452,500, thanks to the generosity and support of our donors.

Attendees included parents, educators, donors, and 28 graduates of the Dyslexia Specialist Preparation Program. The group, which was recognized in a ceremony immediately prior to the luncheon, is Neuhaus’ largest class to date.

The event began with recognition of our honorees, the Butler family, longtime supporters of Neuhaus. President and CEO Dr. Tracy Weeden gave a heart-felt speech, and young Cotton Rosser shared how Neuhaus’ teaching methods have helped him make great strides in reading despite his dyslexia.

Keynote speaker Erin Gruwell, a teacher whose classroom style inspired the film The Freedom Writers, described her passion for literacy in a moving address.

The invaluable commitment and hard work of individuals like Luncheon Chair Elizabeth Whitehead and Underwriter Chair Susan Neuhaus lit the way for literacy.

Their efforts, combined with the support of our dedicated board, donors, parents, educators, and friends, help Neuhaus continue as a beacon of knowledge.
