ANNUAL
REPORT
PDK CONGRATULATES THE 2014-2015 CLASS OF EMERGING LEADERS.
These young leaders in education were selected from a competitive field of applicants on
the basis of their outstanding professional accomplishments.
The PDK Emerging Leaders foundation program is for pioneers, age 40 or younger, who
are making a difference in the field of education. This program recognizes innovators,
thought leaders, problem solvers, and change agents for the work that they are doing
to improve education.
Each spring, PDK solicits applications and selects a new class of Emerging Leaders.
The new class is announced in early fall.
“The Emerging Leaders program is our way of paying it forward in public education,” said
William J. Bushaw, PDK International’s chief executive officer. “We find people under 40
who are standouts in the profession, and we bring them together for a weekend of networking and expertise sharing in the nation’s capital. By investing in these young leaders,
we are investing in the future.”

Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation
Remember the feeling you experienced
when you did something you knew would make a difference in another person’s life? Remember how you felt
when you knew you contributed to something significant?
Find that feeling again by joining us in supporting the
PDK Educational Foundation, which also includes the
Pi Lambda Theta Educational Endowment.
The PDK Educational Foundation Board of Governors is
dedicated to using funds donated by Kappans worldwide
in exactly the ways you, our donors, intended by supporting and improving public education. The board is
equally committed to ensuring that contributions from
Thetans support long-standing PLT initiatives.
We take our financial responsibility to our foundation
donors seriously and always willingly share information
about our annual expenditures. We appreciate the spirit
of giving that our Kappan and Thetan families share and
are grateful for their commitment to supporting education
initiatives that make our world a better place.

PDK/Gallup Poll of the
Public’s Attitudes Toward
the Public Schools
Highly respected and widely followed
by the media, the PDK/Gallup poll is a trustworthy
resource for families, education professionals,
researchers, and policy makers. By asking the
key questions and employing cutting-edge polling
science, the poll delivers information crucial to
multiple audiences.
PDK’s partner for all 46 years is Gallup, the foremost name in polling in America and around the world. The poll is a scientifically-based survey
of more than 1,000 Americans, 18 years and older.
This year, we learned that Americans support higher entrance requirements for would-be teachers,
one year of supervised practice teaching, and national board certification, but Americans don’t
support teacher evaluation systems based on student standardized test scores.
The PDK/Gallup poll is financed solely by the Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation,
which allows PDK to offer an independent and unbiased report of American public opinion of
its public schools.
Of course, the PDK Educational Foundation is able to continue this work because of your
generous support.
CENTER ON EDUCATION POLICY
The Center on Education Policy (CEP) operates as an independent center housed
at the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Education and Human Development.
As CEP’s executive director, Maria Ferguson continues the center’s important research, much of it
currently focused on implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The center’s
research also assists education policymakers, particularly in Washington, D.C., and at state
education agencies, to make more informed decisions about education initiatives.
Maria also authors a monthly column in Kappan magazine entitled “Washington View,” providing
readers an understanding of Washington, D.C., policy decisions and their implications for educators
across the U.S. The PDK Foundation Board of Governors affirms its continuing commitment to
support the center’s important work.

FEA
“FEA has allowed me to feel like I can make a difference in other
people’s lives.” – Tiona Ramseur, Senior, Smyrna High School, Smyrna, Del.
The Future Educators Association® (FEA), a member of the PDK International
family of associations, is a student organization dedicated to supporting young
people interested in education-related careers. FEA is a national network of more
than 10,000 student and teacher/mentor participants in school-based, grow-yourown-teacher programs.
“The Future Educators Association is all about giving young
people a truly authentic experience in trying out teaching.”
– Dan Brown, FEA Executive Director, National Board Certified Teacher
In 2013-2014, FEA took significant strides in strengthening its program and expanding
its reach:
First-Class Resources and Opportunities
• With perhaps its strongest volume yet, FEA’s official magazine, Go Teach,
once again won the APEX Grand Award for its exceptional content.
• FEA revamped its 19 competitive events to raise the bar for quality and
relevance. Thanks to generous donations by PDK members, all national
student champions at the 2014 FEA National Conference in Minneapolis
were rewarded for their exceptional achievements with cash prizes.
Growth and Impact
• In 2013-2014, FEA membership grew to 10,598 members, a 6% increase
over the previous year. Currently, FEA has active programs in 570 schools
across the country.
• From 2013 to 2014, participation in the FEA Honor Society jumped from
757 to 944 students, a 25% increase.
• FEA maintained its commitment to diversity and seeks to build on its
progress. While the national teaching force is 17% nonwhite, FEA
membership in 2013-2014 was 30% nonwhite.
Looking Ahead
FEA signed a groundbreaking agreement with Boston University to launch FEA
programs in the Boston area with BU as the organizing hub, creating an inspiring
precedent for more robust higher education involvement in FEA.
4
FEA is collaborating with strategy firm Education First, digital strategy firm
RemoteSOCIAL, and brandraising firm Big Duck to develop and implement plans
for taking FEA to the next level, with that evolved vision set to launch with a new
name, Educators Rising, in 2015.
Please join us in celebrating the power and the promise of FEA (soon to be
Educators Rising) by donating through the PDK Educational Foundation or by
funding a scholarship for a deserving student.
“Future Educators Association gave me the opportunity to be a
real leader in my school and community.” – Ocey Holland, FEA National
Student President, University of Louisville Class of 2018

PDK began supporting education study tours more than 40 years ago, and the Educational
Foundation continues that great tradition today. The Gerald H. Read Endowment provides PDK
and Pi Lambda Theta members and Future Educators Association® teacher-advisors with
scholarships that help defray the costs to visit schools and education ministries in other countries.
Recent study trips to China, Central Europe, and Dublin and London provided members
opportunities to compare and contrast education in the U.S. and Canada with education in
Asia and Europe. Plans for 2014-2015 include a trip to Amsterdam and Paris.
