During the 2010/2011 planning year, the community came together to compile a needs assessment and asset map, from which we developed our Strategic and Implementation Plans. These documents have guided our decision-­‐making and implementation of strategies as we move toward common countywide goals. Pre-­‐Implementation for a Strong Backbone During the 2011/2012 fiscal year, THRIVE Isla Vista focused on organizational capacity development, collaboration and strengthening networks and strategies. Collaborative partners met monthly to establish baseline data and goals, establish provider networks, streamline data integration, and review baseline data for the Isla Vista Children Thriving Report Card. Results of a post-­‐assessment demonstrate that since July 2011, THRIVE Isla Vista has increased its organizational capacity by 13.5%. We are better equipped to provide collaborative services through a no wrong door approach to children 0-­‐5, with results measuring through age 8. Direct Service Isla Vista has a long history of community action, but our work as a THRIVE collaborative is not business as usual. This is an opportunity to strengthen an existing model of success by determining community needs and using results-­‐based accountability. Input from the community showed a need for programming in: early childhood education, family advocacy, mental health services, concrete support services, and health and safety. Through THRIVE Isla Vista, we are able to meet these needs. uuuuu
Vision:
Collaborating together to improve our community from cradle to career and beyond
Mission:
Improving the lives of our community members through
integrated and culturally relevant services
3 Thriving Children’s Report Card Snapshot Here is an up-­‐to-­‐date version of the Thriving Children’s Report Card, which outlines our community’s progress toward countywide goals. This report card will help us monitor how well programs and strategies are affecting children and families in Isla Vista. Here are some highlights*: ***Updated 1/15/14***
*For a complete copy of the Thriving Children’s Report Card, please contact thrive@ivyp.org 4 Capacity Building Beginning June 2011, different parts of the community come together annually to complete the Marguerite Casey Organizational Capacity Building Tool. This tool establishes a common language to describe the specific ways in which our community has opportunities to improve upon our capacity to work collaboratively and serve families. THRIVE Isla Vista showed an increase in all areas of organizational capacity, according to the Marguerite Casey tool. Increases include: .38 in leadership capacity, .55 in adaptive capacity, .45 in management capacity, and .41 in operational capacity. We completed units of service in all areas outlined in both common and specific deliverables required for FY 12/13. Capacity Building:

5 Children’s Health and Well-­‐being: Health and well-­‐being data gathered by THRIVE Isla Vista continues to show steady, slow improvements in children’s health as evidence by declining BMI and dental decay rates in preschoolers. Post-­‐tests from Nutrition Education and Promotores peer-­‐to-­‐peer work in health and physical activity demonstrate change in eating and physical activity habits. •

Our partnership with Santa Barbara County Office of Education’s Health Linkages and the Isla Vista Teen Center allowed us to screen 128 preschoolers (September 2013) from GUSD State Preschool, Orfalea Children’s Center, School Readiness Program, Isla Vista Children’s Center and IVYP State Preschool. Results show a very slight increase in the number of children with healthy BMIs (with a decrease of 9% overall for 4 years) and continued decline of children with 3.3 dental caries as compared to last year. Follow-­‐up required as follows: 4 dental, 11 vision, 6 hearing. An increase of 1% from the previous year for preschool children screened as overweight or obese. The four-­‐year trend shows an overall decrease of 9 percentage points (48% in 2010-­‐
11; 44% in 2011-­‐12; 38% in 2012-­‐13; 39% in 2013-­‐14). All follow-­‐up assistance is currently in process by the IVYP family advocates and expected to be completed by June 30, 2014. For Staff: o Participation in Preschool Food and Healthy Habits Initiative trainings attended by 3 staff from 3 childcare sites in Isla Vista o 2 Staff members trained on the Latino Toolbox in the previous year continue to lead monthly parent activities at the food distribution. 6 Children are Ready to Enter Kindergarten: Our trends on DRDP measurements show the positive impact that full-­‐day quality programming has on the development of children 0-­‐5 years. Preschool DRDP assessment in November 2013 for full-­‐day and half-­‐day preschool programs (levels are as follows, from lowest to highest: exploring, developing, building and integrating): DRDP Results November 2013 (full day vs. half day) Across all domains, full-­‐
day, full-­‐year preschool attendees were assessed at consistently higher levels than their half-­‐day school term counterparts. This DRDP data informs decisions by the THRIVE Isla Vista collaborative to prioritize preschool spaces in Isla Vista, especially full-­‐
day, full-­‐year. Isla Vista has a cohesive model of early care and education that is working for our families. Access to high quality, affordable preschool is an evidence-­‐based practice that leads to kindergarten readiness. Percent of children with a developmental screening: • ASQ-­‐3: From July 2013-­‐December 2013, 15 unduplicated children 0-­‐5 were screened for developmental delays using the ASQ-­‐3 (3 of which were completed by Family Advocates). • ASQSE: From July 2013-­‐December 2013, 17 unduplicated children 0-­‐5 were screened for developmental delays using the ASQSE (4 of which were completed by Family Advocates). 7 There is a strong commitment in our community to early care and education as evidenced by KSEP scores from 2010 to 2014: KSEP trajectory 79% 83% 33% 33% 35% 2010-­‐11 2011-­‐12 2012-­‐13 68% 84% 53% 2013-­‐14 % READY TO GO % READY TO GO & % ALMOST READY The maintenance of high quality ECE spaces that meet the needs in our community (opening early, closing late, offering ESL classes in the morning) is integral to the success of our students and community as a whole. Funding a small number of spaces saved entire programs. Additionally, the prioritization of children in our collaborative are receiving THRIVE services despite cuts to the overall program. •
•
Funds were leveraged for 30 children (6 half-­‐day at Goleta Union State Preschool and 6 wrap-­‐around preschool spaces for Isla Vista State Preschool, 8 full-­‐day infant/toddler/preschool, 10 school readiness component) to receive high quality early care and education through various programs. An additional 6 Daniel Fund Scholarships for full-­‐time early care and development for children 0-­‐5 years were also leveraged. With this funding, children were able to receive quality early learning services and assessments. One-­‐on-­‐One ECE Provider Contracts: Contract has been made with ECE providers throughout the Isla Vista community in order to share data and resources with each other. In total, there have been three (3) one-­‐on-­‐one meetings with early care direct service providers, including: UCSB Early Childhood Care and Education Services director, GUSD Preschool teacher, and Isla Vista Children’s Center director. 8 After School: The work of THRIVE Isla Vista does not stop when our children enter Kindergarten. The fantastic partnership between IVYP/ASES and the Goleta Union School District make it possible to continue serving children K-­‐6 after school throughout the school year. This partnership allows parents to continue working while enriching children with extra curricular activities and one on one tutoring. IVYP/ASES In the IVYP/ASES program, 85% of students have a homework grade of satisfactory/excellent at the first grading period; 52% of students were on grade level for math; 53% of the students were on grade level for language arts. By year-­‐
end, a much higher percentage is expected
Concrete Family Support: The goal of the IVYP Family Resource Center (FRC) is to strengthen and empower families by helping them meet primary needs, access community resources, build upon family strengths and improve family relations. To improve outcomes for both families and community, our center brings together services that educate, develop skills and improve family relations. Family Advocacy (July-­‐December 2013) • As of July 2013: • General health case management was provided to 1 family • Insurance enrollment was provided for 2 families • Resource and referral/linkages were provided to 8 non-­‐case managed clients • General case management was provided to 7 families Support generally included referrals for food, clothing, WIC, personal care products, childcare, health and dental care, legal, employment and housing. An emergency food pantry was available on site and a large monthly distribution of food, clothing and personal care products assisted families in addressing shortages. Approximately 100 families attend this distribution, the Healthy School Food Pantry, now held at Isla Vista Elementary School each 9 month. In addition to food, parents received nutrition education, resource and referral and linkages to local resources. An analysis of the data from the Family Development Matrix shows the following outcomes: • Positive outcomes/ growth was measured in 16 of 21 measures. • Highest gains: knowledge of community resources, father involvement, access to basic needs, stability in shelter, and childcare. • Parents also showed strong gains in: access to transportation, health services, budgeting, knowledge of child’s appropriate development, nutrition, family communication, nurturing, positive parenting skills, absence of substance abuse • Child safety measures remained level at the highest level of stability. The data indicates more work is needed to help parents seek employment Parent Leadership: •
•
Five (5) parents actively participating in THRIVE Isla Vista Leadership committee. An average of 19 parents participate in the Family Council at Isla Vista Children’s Center, an average of 12 families participate in the Parent Council at UCSB Early Childhood Care and Education Services and an average of 14 parents participate in the Goleta State Preschool PrePack. In addition, Isla Vista Children’s Center has 8 “room parents” and Orfalea Family Children’s Center has 30 “room parents”. One parent leading peer-­‐to-­‐peer trainings on the 5 Protective Factors. At the midyear point, she had led 3 trainings with parents as well as attended the state-­‐wide conference on Child Abuse Prevention (a total of 4 activities). At the midyear point, a total of 77 parents attended her workshops. THRIVE Isla Vista is closely interlinked with the Family Strengthening Initiative, and many of our services overlap. For a detailed report on the impact that this initiative is having on the community, please contact anam@ivyp.org. Strengthening Community Relationships:
•
•
•
Safety and preparedness trainings were offered throughout the community for providers, teachers, parents, family advocates and UCSB students in both English and Spanish. These trainings contribute to the overall goals of creating a safe, connected and nurturing community for children and families.
All classrooms at the IV Children’s Center, IVYP State School, Orfalea Children’s Center and Isla Vista School have emergency preparedness kits and emergency toilets 6 IVYP staff are certified through 2014 on full CERT training (24 hours, with final exam) 16 community members completed the full CERT training in Spanish over the summer 2013. 10 •
Based on the results of the Isla Vista Needs Assessment, support for childcare providers surfaced as a high need in the community. THRIVE Isla Vista contracts with CALM to provide Reflective Practice and in-­‐classroom support to teachers working with children 0-­‐5, as an expanded component of child abuse prevention efforts that ties with the Center for Social Emotional Foundations of Early Learning (CSEFEL) framework. •
•
12 ECE providers received extra support in their work with children with challenging behavior. Support includes review of CSEFEL observation tools, observation/tracking behaviors of targeted children, meetings to define function of behavior and the development of a plan of support, training on skills, on-­‐site coaching, reassessment and team meetings with parents. At the conclusion of the year, teachers will be surveyed with the baseline data gathered the previous year (Professional Qualify of Life Scale and Teacher Satisfaction Survey). CALM interns / therapists provided bi-­‐
lingual/bi-­‐cultural therapy to 8 Isla Vista parents or children during the first 6 months of this fiscal year.
An emergency food pantry was available through the Family Resource Center and monthly food and personal products distribution were held. During the summer months, Isla Vista Children’s Center hosted the food distribution and beginning in September the program was expanded through our collaboration with the Food Bank and Isla Vista Elementary School to become a Healthy School Pantry site at Isla Vista Elementary School. Approximately 100 families participate each month, receiving food and personal care products, as well as resource and referral, wellness education through the Isla Vista Promotores, and food demonstrations by the Isla Vista Food Co-­‐op and SB County Public Health Department. Promotores intake clients and provide follow-­‐up data quarterly to help shape wellness strategies.
11 CBET-­‐ESL Family Literacy Class: 33 adults participated in the class. Many students remarked that the class has given them the experience, motivation, and support to assist their children and to venture out to become part of the community. With the sunset of the School Readiness initiative, THRIVE Isla Vista has chosen to maintain or absorb components of the initiative that the community found beneficial. THRIVE Isla Vista is funding salary for 1 part-­‐time toddler teacher and one work study aide (plus an additional aide funded through Ellwood CBET funds) allowing up to 10 children to participate in a quality early learning experience while their parents are taking ESL classes three days per week. Fidelity of the program has not been affected by the change and we are entering children receiving services into GEMS. All children are screened for developmental growth using DRDPs and developmental and social/emotional delays using the ASQ-­‐3/ASQ-­‐SE. Referrals are made to the Isla Vista Family Resource Center, as needed. However, no referrals at the midyear point were indicated. Welcome Every Baby is a FREE service available to all
newborns and their families in Santa Barbara County. WEB
helps all babies get off to the best possible start in life by
providing nurse home visits soon after a baby is born to help
with breastfeeding, caring for newborns, and other questions or
concerns mothers may have. Since July 2013, WEB has served
27 babies and mothers in the THIRVE Isla Vista boundary.
12 United Way Summer Pre-­‐K Camp: •
•
THRIVE Isla Vista will continue to manage the Isla Vista Pre-­‐K Camp and absorb many school readiness activities, such as home play kit coordination. This strategy is a continuing partnership with United Way. In July/August 2013, 20 children attended Pre-­‐K camp on the Isla Vista School campus. Each child received 1 book per week for four weeks, and one play kit to take home and be returned per week for four weeks, with exception of the two play kits donated by United Way. Play kits were targeted to meet the child’s interest and needs, as outlined by the preschool teachers based on data gathered in the June preschool KSEP. The 2013/2014 KSEP results show that this strategy continues to have a positive effect on incoming kindergarteners.
Rated as “ready to go”: 33% in 2010-­‐11, 33% in 2011-­‐12, 35% in 2012-­‐13, and 55% 2013-­‐14 Rated as “ready to go” and “almost ready”: 68% in 2010-­‐11, 79% in 2011-­‐12, 81% in 2012-­‐
13 and 84% in 2013-­‐14 Between July 2013 and December 2013, 6 trips have been made to WIC, transporting a total of 37 mothers and 38 children.
The Isla Vista Food Co-­‐op provided a variety of healthy food for each meeting. Isla Vista Food Co-­‐op has become a very strong partner this year, committed to providing healthy snacks at parent education and also participating in monthly food distribution with food demonstrations and incentives to purchase healthy food at the Isla Vista Food Co-­‐op. 13 2 promotores actively working in the Isla Vista community supported by 2 staff from Isla Vista Youth Projects Family Resource Center; all are participating in all the monthly trainings. Results of the Promotores tracking outcomes report for the first two quarters of 2013-­‐14 include: • 98 people received outreach the first quarter; 115 people the second quarter; a total of 213 from July 1, 2013-­‐ December 31, 2013 • 94% self-­‐reported eating more fruits and vegetables • 82% self-­‐reported exercising regularly, with walking and soccer the top activities • 89% self-­‐reported limiting sugary drinks, with two-­‐
thirds drinking water as their beverage of choice. CalFresh outreach grant received and efforts to enroll community families to receive supplemental food benefits have increased participation by community families in the program. Nearly 500 clients were prescreened between July-­‐ December 2013, with 54 applications completed. 2,421 hours were donated by UCSB, junior high, high school, and community volunteers to all IVYP programs. 14 Meetings are Held at Convenient Times and Locations: As a gesture of appreciation, THRIVE Isla Vista hosted lunches for each leadership committee meeting, as well as the October Isla Vista Community Network meeting. New members to the leadership committee included a representative from Santa Barbara City College Continuous Learning Center, Isla Vista Teen Center and CALM. Our 15-­‐year partnership with the IVCN played an important role in establishing the network as a community advisory group, particularly because members already have an investment in working collaboratively and there is an established meeting time, with consistently high attendance. This continues to have a positive impact on participation, engagement and commitment to the collaborative. New members to Isla Vista Community Network this fiscal year include: CALM, Isla Vista Food Co-­‐op, SB Rape Crisis Center and Supervisor Doreen Farr (preciously only her assistant attended). THRIVE Isla Vista is scheduled to update the IVCN bi-­‐monthly, with one midyear and year-­‐end update after each biannual report is submitted. IVCN newsletters highlighting updated and current data and programming community were printed by UCSB (color) and distributed to IVCN and other community members and agencies. THRIVE Isla Vista is guided by the THRIVE Isla Vista Operations Manual, which was completed in 2011-­‐12 as part of the required capacity building deliverables (both common and specific). The manual was reviewed and slightly revised when the new THRIVE Isla Vista coordinator was hired. Major Unforeseen Program/Agency Outcomes: Uncertainties in funding have caused much angst. These uncertainties make it difficult to retain staff, work with partners, and do the work of the collaborative. Josefina Gutierrez, formerly the teacher for the child development component of the School Readiness parent ESL Class, was presented with another opportunity and left IVYP in early November. Marti Armstrong was hired soon after as the new teacher. THRIVE Santa Barbara County surged as the new anchor, together with STRIVE Together (the national model); they have both been supporting all five collaboratives to succeed. Continued support from UCSB Student Affairs facilitated the hiring of an undergraduate student as a new intern to help with data entry and organizational affairs. This intern has been essential in preparation for this new stage of THRIVE. Revised 3/14/14 15 How THRIVE is Organized: 1) Communication and Networking • Branding throughout the community. • The THRIVE Isla Vista logo has been placed on information to the public, including consent forms, letters, newsletters, and registration forms. • A year-­‐long communications plan for the Isla Vista Community Network is in place to provide bimonthly updates to the community. • Goleta and Isla Vista business partners and main employers identified. • One-­‐on-­‐one meetings with childcare providers in the area, with consent forms, family advocate contact information, and assessments given to parents. • Participated in 11 THRIVE Santa Barbara County meetings for strategic plan development (Site Leads, THRIVE SBC Leadership Roundtable, UCSB data check). • Attended STRIVE Convening in September 2013. 2) Shared Principles and Norms: • Progress and data shared with community via bi-­‐monthly newsletters and monthly Isla Vista Community Network meetings. • Executive director actively participates in THRIVE Santa Barbara County, Child Abuse Prevention Council, Child Care Planning Council, Network of Family Resources Centers, Nonprofit Executive Directors Leaders, Dental Access Resource Team (DART), Community Health Access Resource Team (CHART), SB County Education Office Partners in Education, and Goleta Chamber of Commerce to share THRIVE Isla Vista with the larger general population. 3) Governance and Leadership has Influenced Systems Change: • THRIVE Isla Vista Leadership Committee meets monthly, with representation from Isla Vista School, Isla Vista Recreation and Park District, Santa Barbara County Public Health, Santa Barbara County Office of Education, Isla Vista Family Resource Center, Isla Vista Youth Projects, CALM, UCSB Student Affairs liaison, and local parents. • Key roles have been identified, outlined and filled: LuAnn Miller as lead; Adriana Marroquin as program coordinator, UCSB as data analyst • Members of the leadership committee and key staff meet monthly to discuss strategies rollout and capacity building deliverables. • Data integration with partnering agencies, including GUSD, has been established for benchmarks.

On a scale of 1 to 4, average growth between .53 and .73 was notes in each area with the strongest growth noted in Leadership capacity. All data that THRIVE Isla Vista staff was able to review and use for program improvement and decision making have been mentioned in Narratives 1 and 3, including links between: • Full-­‐day childcare and DRDP results • The maintenance of quality ECE spaces and KSEP results • The efforts of our FSI programming and kindergarten parent PFS results • Efforts of promotores outreach and an increase in healthy eating habits and lifestyles Additionally, we began to track utilization of strategies and activities this year, creating both a hard file and an electronic file for each child 0-­‐5 to show dosage (participation in funded programs). In the future we will be able to see if data shows dosage correlation to benchmark assessments in kindergarten, for example KSEP, BMI, Family Protective Factors Survey, etc. Outreach/Engagement: •
