THE MONTHLY IMPACT FEE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE FIRSTMARK FOUNDATION TO MAKE A TANGIBLE, POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE EDUCATION COMMUNITY THROUGH THE COLLECTIVE SUPPORT OF THE MEMBERSHIP. ON BEHALF OF THE CREDIT UNION MEMBERS, THE FIRSTMARK FOUNDATION WILL FUND SIGNIFICANT NEEDS ACROSS SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SUCH AS THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FACILITIES, IMPROVING EXISTING AMENITIES, ENHANCING LEARNING SPACES, AND PROVIDING EDUCATOR GRANTS AND STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS. DURING THE YEAR, THE FOUNDATION AWARDED A 100,000 GRANT TO THE HOLDSWORTH CENTER TO HELP SCALE THEIR SUPERINTENDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE UNIQUE LEADERSHIP NEEDS AND RESPONSIBILITIES REQUIRED OF OUR SUPERINTENDENTS SERVING IN PUBLIC EDUCATION. THE FOUNDATION ALSO AWARDED A 40,000 GRANT TO THE CAST SCHOOLS NETWORK TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THEIR TEACHER RESIDENCY PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS NEW TEACHERS TO GAIN HANDS-ON CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE WHERE THEY CAN BE CHALLENGED AND MENTORED AS THEY BEGIN THEIR TEACHING CAREERS. IN ADDITION, IN 2023, THE FIRSTMARK FOUNDATION PLEDGED 100,000 TO SAMSAT, THE SAN ANTONIO MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, IN SUPPORT OF THE SAMSAT EDUCATOR FELLOWS PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM WILL TRAIN TWELVE TEACHERS OVER ONE YEAR IN METHODS OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING (PBL), INCLUDING THREE TEACHERS WITH PRIOR EXPERIENCE WHO WILL ALSO SERVE AS MENTORS. WITH A FOCUS ON AIDING TEACHERS WHO SERVE UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS VIA TITLE I SCHOOLS, THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND AN OVERALL UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES ARE LIMITED AND, OFTENTIMES, COME AT AN ADDED EXPENSE TO THE EDUCATOR, WHICH COULD IMPACT THEIR GROWTH IN THE FIELD. BY MERGING BOTH PRACTICE AND TRAINING THROUGH PBL, IT WILL PROVIDE TEACHERS ADVANTAGES TOWARD THEIR REAL-WORLD TRANSITION. THE PROGRAM WILL ALSO GIVE EACH TEACHER THE CHANCE TO MAKE TWO VISITS TO SAMSAT AREA 21 ON FIELD TRIPS WITH THEIR STUDENTS, WHERE THEY WILL RECEIVE DIRECT ASSISTANCE INTEGRATING NEW APPROACHES INTO DAILY PRACTICE.
