Wallace's Report '09: Appraising a Decade
The following tables describe and list the expenditures and commitments made in 2009 to advance Wallace’s work in its focus areas of education leadership, out-of-school time learning and building appreciation and demand for the arts. In each of these areas, our approach and expenditures are grouped under two main strategic categories: Develop Innovation Sites, and Develop and Share Knowledge.
- DEVELOP INNOVATION SITES — We invest in, and work closely with, selected sites to help them plan and test out new approaches to addressing the change goals to which we have mutually agreed. These sites can provide us and the broader field with insights into what ideas are or are not effective and what conditions support or impede progress.
- DEVELOP AND SHARE KNOWLEDGE — In concert with our innovation site work, we develop and spread lessons that can improve practice and policy using research and a range of communications strategies. These activities both enhance the work in our funded sites and hold the potential to expand opportunities for people and institutions nationwide.
EDUCATION LEADERSHIP
Our goal is to develop and test approaches in state and district sites that can improve the quality of leadership and leaders’ impact on teaching and learning; capture lessons from our sites and funded research; and share them within our network and beyond to strengthen the work of our states and districts and enable other sites that will never receive our funding to benefit.
1. DEVELOP INNOVATION SITES
Our funding to innovation sites is differentiated so that the largest share of our resources goes to states and districts making the most progress. Our funding now falls under three categories:
- “Cohesive Leadership System” Sites – consolidated state-district grants to those making the most progress towards connecting state and district policies affecting leadership standards, training and conditions;
- “Aligned System of Leader Development” Sites – grants to states or districts that have made significant progress in creating a high-quality leadership development system; and
- “Leadership Network” Sites – enabling the remaining states and districts to stay connected to the leadership improvement work supported by Wallace.

OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME LEARNING
Our goal is to develop and test ways in which cities can plan and implement strategies that increase overall participation in high-quality out-of-school time (OST) programs so that children and youth, especially those with the highest needs, attend often enough to gain developmental benefits.
1. DEVELOP INNOVATION SITES
We are supporting efforts in cities to develop and test coordinated, citywide approaches to increasing participation in high-quality out-of-school time learning opportunities. The following organizations received funding to manage and promote this work:

BUILDING APPRECIATION AND DEMAND FOR THE ARTS
Our arts programs seek to build current and future audiences by making the arts a part of more people’s lives. Our strategy has two components: the Wallace Excellence Awards, which provide support to exemplary arts organizations in selected cities to identify, develop and share effective ideas and practices to reach more people; and Arts for Young People, whose goal is to help selected cities develop effective approaches for expanding high-quality arts learning opportunities both inside and outside of school, and to capture and share lessons that can benefit many other cities and arts organizations.
1. DEVELOP INNOVATION SITES
WALLACE EXCELLENCE AWARDS – This program provides support to exemplary arts organizations in selected cities to test and maintain effective participation-building practices. An important goal is to help develop a “knowledge portfolio” of such practices that can benefit many other organizations. We also seek to create “learning networks” that can help elevate the visibility of participation-building in our target cities and spread the lessons broadly. In 2008, we added Seattle and Minneapolis/St. Paul to our initiative, bringing to six the number of participating cities. Since 2006, a total of 54 arts organizations located in those cities have been given Wallace Excellence Awards. To facilitate the exchange of effective ideas within those six target cities, we have provided additional grants to six organizations to act as coordinating agents for this city-based approach: Boston Foundation; Chicago Community Trust; Philadelphia Foundation; San Francisco Foundation; Washington State Arts Commission; and Minnesota Community Foundation.

ARTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE — This second element of our arts work seeks to build future audiences by helping selected cities develop coordinated approaches to expanding high-quality arts learning opportunities both inside and outside school, and to capture and share lessons that benefit many other cities. Dallas was the sole site for this initiative until 2008, when we funded four new arts learning efforts: the Minneapolis Public Schools; the Los Angeles County Arts Commission; the Los Angeles Unified School District; and the Philadelphia Foundation. In 2009, we added Boston to the initiative.
