An active problem solver and strategist, Maquita enables Yu Yingto utilize the flexibility of the charter school structure to maximize

the benefits of immersion education. With over 20 years of public

education experience, Maquita brings a wealth of knowledge to

Washington Yu Ying PCS as Head of School. Beyond her normal

responsibilities, Maquita integrates the values she promotes at Yu

Ying into her everyday life. Whether shes traveling to China to find

potential sister school partnerships or immersing herself in local,

national and global education conferences, Maquita is continuously

looking for innovative ways to evolve the learning curriculum and

student experience at Yu Ying. As a non-native Chinese speaker,

shes also hoping to soon become fully bilingual in Chinese. For

now though, she loves the chance to shape the future by nurtur-ing open-minded, global citizens that celebrate diversity.

Dear friends,The 2012-2013 school year brought exciting growth and new opportunities to Yu Ying.

In April of 2013, we gained full authorization as an International Baccalaureate school bringing an international accreditation

to our curriculum and validating Yu Yings rigorous global approach to education.

Our enrollment increased by almost 20%, presenting challenges and incredible opportunities to provide more DC children

with a world-class, uniquely Yu Ying education. For the second year in a row, the District of Columbia Public Charter School

Board awarded Yu Ying a Tier 1 designation which recognizes our students remarkable academic performance and test score

achievements. We could not be prouder of our students success in our classrooms.

And while these accolades are important to us, the smiles that each of our students arrive with each morning are what

matter most to us. From the student who wrote her first mystery novella in Chinese to the first-grader who cannot wait to

learn more about dinosaursthese are our greatest achievements. This is why we do what we do.

As we have grown, it has become evident to us that Yu Ying really is more than a school. It is a community where our

diversity is key to our success, where the sustainability of our community matters, and where our teachers and parents are

collaborators. Together we are raising the next generation of culturally fluent and well-rounded global citizens.

Im grateful, personally and professionally, to each and every member of the Yu Ying community for their devotion to all of our

Yu Ying students, and for their unwavering support as weve grown, changed, and learnedtogether.

Warmly,

Maquita AlexanderHead of School

Dual Chinese-English

Language ImmersionYu Ying creates global citizens through a dual English and

Chinese language and culture immersion. Through an alternat-

ing day model, students receive equal instruction in Chinese

and English in all core subjects. This proven approach allows

students to gain a deep understanding of the Chinese and

English languages on a parallel track with content and academic

subject mastery. Whether its writing mystery novellas in

Chinese or presenting science projects in both languages, Yu

Ying students are constantly working towards fluency while

setting a framework for continued academic success.


9/32

IB Framework

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is an

international framework that is designed to

develop the intellectual, personal, emotion and

social skills of young people to help them live,

learn, and work in a rapidly globalizing world.

By focusing on building a framework for future

academic success, IB sparks interest and curi-

osity by adapting to individual learning needs. In

April 2013, Yu Ying was recognized as an IB World

School after a rigorous authorization process.

This recognition positions Yu Ying as a premier

education experience under an internationallyrecognized pedagogy.


10/32

Chinese Culture ImmersionFostering a global perspective and a connection to Chinese culture

enables the Yu Ying community to create a Chinese cultural experi-

ence in DC. Each year the Yu Ying community celebrates the Chinese

New Year and the Moon Festival, in addition to other Chinese holidays.

Beyond special treats like Tangyuan (rice balls), moon cakes and events

like Lion Dance performances, important Chinese cultural moments are

integrated into the curriculum giving studentsand parentsan

opportunity to develop new cultural competencies.

Recognizing the need to directly experience culture to gain true under-

standing, Yu Ying held its first annual 5th grade trip to China in 2013.

During this two-week excursion, students traveled to Beijing, Shanghai

and Xian, where they studied alongside students in local schools,

visited landmarks theyd only seen in pictures and developed a tangible

sense of what Chinese culture is really like. This trip is much anticipated

and a cornerstone of the Chinese cultural immersion programs at Yu

Ying. As our school grows, so does our hope for expanded opportunities

for hands-on learning experiences in China.

Fostering student diversity is more than a goal for Yu Ying; its at the core of

everything we do. We believe the greatest gift we can give our students is a

world-view that takes them outside of the day to day and pushes them to askquestions to better understand the world around them. Our students come from

all over DC, from different families with different backgrounds and we believe that,

while it is a challenge, it is also our greatest asset. In fact, based on DC Public

Charter School Board data, Yu Ying is the second most racially diverse charter

school in DC. To ensure a diverse student population, Yu Ying has an annual lot-

tery to admit new students. Yu Ying students and their families never pay tuition;

there are no admission tests and admission is open to any student in the District

of Columbia. Yu Ying embraces all.

Expanding

CommunicationsCapabilities

In 2013 Yu Ying started a multi-year process to

develop a comprehensive parent communication

strategy. Yu Ying started this initiative by survey-

ing parents and scheduling parent meetings with

administrators. Based on the feedback, Yu Ying

began offering homework resources for non-Chi-

nese speaking parents, introduced a number o f

social media platforms, and began a back-and-forth

dialogue between faculty, administrators andparents. As a language immersion school, Yu Ying

fully recognizes that strong communication is criti-

cal to the community and is committed to growing

its communication capabilities to adapt to the

changing needs of teachers and parents.

Yu Ying knows that their students success is intrinsically tied to the

success of Yu Ying teachers. As one of the only IB PYP Chinese immer-sion charter schools, Yu Ying provides a unique learning experience

that extends far beyond the standard elementary curricula.

Yu Yings alternating day model provides an opportunity for Lead

Teachers, in both English and Chinese classrooms, to form a unique

bond and working relationship where they are in lock step on each

students need and goals for the day. This teacher relationship and

structure is the foundation for the dual language immersion program.

It provides a customized and coordinated education to each class

and student in two languages. Yu Ying teachers have a tight-knit

support group to share best practices and materials, troubleshoot

and plan across grades. Additionally, each grade-level holds formalteacher planning meetings to ensure consistency and quality across

classrooms of the same grade.

Yu Ying provides ongoing support and training for all teachers that

focuses on continuing education and development. Each teacher re-

ceives support from the administrative team to help refine individual

teaching styles to best meet the needs of the classroom.

Parents are the driving force behind some

of Yu Yings most celebrated activities like

the Annual Gala and fundraising for the 5th

Grade Trip to China but parents also are

the engines of the students day-to-day

successes. Whether helping with homework,

breaking a sweat at the Faculty-Parent

soccer game or chaperoning kids in a for-

eign country, Yu Ying parents are enriching

not only their childs education but also the

experience of all Yu Ying students. To learn

ENGAGED PARENTS


22/32


The 2012-2013 school year was a banner year for all District of Columbia

Public Charter Schools as students scored higher than ever before on

DC-CAS standardized tests and scored well above the national stateaverage. With significant progress in special needs and minority

students test results, DC Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB) helped

to close the statewide achievement gap.

Yu Ying maintained its Tier 1 status for a second consecutive year

in 2012-2013. Tier 1 status is granted by the DC PCSB to top-perform-

ing schools and is based on the DC PCSB Performance Management

Framework (PMF), a combination of standardized test resul ts and

other leading indicators. Yu Yings 2012-2013 test results showcase the

schools competitive education program on a local, state and nation-

wide scale. This is a huge accomplishment considering that in the last

two years, DC and Tennessee were the only states to increase their

NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) scores across

grade levels and subjects. Yu Ying further differentiated itself with one

of the highest math scores for students with disabilities.

Additional positive indicators of academic achievement Yu Ying dem-

onstrates include the highest attendance rate for the 2012-2013 school

year at 96% and the lowest unexcused absences. These scores show

that Yu Ying students are leading academic achievement in the District

of Columbia, all while learning a second language.

FUTURE PLANS

DC International School

Yu Ying is working with four other local immersion schools to open the DC

International School (DCI) in time for the 2014-2015 school year. In addition

to French and Spanish, DCI will be one of the few multilingual immersion

programs in DC that offers Mandarin at the middle school and high school

level. Attending DCI will give students the opportunity to work towards the

universally recognized International Baccalaureate diploma in addition to

their high school diploma.

Full Immersion Pre-K 3In the fall of 2014, Yu Ying plans to open the first Mandarin-immersion Pre-K

3 in DC. This program will cultivate young students unique ability to learn

languages in their early childhood which will allow them to learn Mandarin

as a native speaker would. To ensure proper instruction in this rigorous

learning environment, all pre-K 3 classes will be staffed with a lead and

assistant teacher. The Pre-K 3 will follow the full-immersion model of Yu

Yings current Pre-K 4 classrooms. The program will start small but plans

to increase the number of enrolled Pre-K students over time. As always,

families living in DC can enroll their children at Yu Yings new preschool

program free of charge via the entrance lottery.

Smaller Class Sizes

With significant growth each year

since its founding, Yu Ying has contin-

uously adapted its teaching methods

to accommodate a growing student

population. With the expectation of even

more students next year, Yu Ying plans

to construct more classrooms and small

group spaces to maintain small class

sizes for future years. After beginning

with larger class sizes, Yu Ying admin-

istrators deemed the small class size

model as an essential piece of Yu Yings

academic success. In addition to future

plans of building more classrooms, Yu

Ying has worked to reduce the average

class size from 25 students per room, to

where it stands today at approximately

17 students per room.

contracted by the District

of Columbia Public Charter

School Board Audit Manage-

ment Unit (AMU), a combined

effort with the Office of the

State Superintendent (OSSE)

and the Office of the Chief

Financial Officer (OCFO). The

CHARM Score is a composite

indicator of financial health,

evaluating both audit

results and financial perfor-

mance for all public charter

schools in Washington, DC.


FINANCES

Yu Ying continues to forecast, plan and budget

efficiently which permits Yu Yings financial flexibility

and stability while ensuring that no disruption infunding, government or otherwise, will jeopardize

the education of its students. The financial goals

include long-term planning such as paying down its

debt from the purchase of its campus and growing

its base of financial support. All of these efforts are

in order to provide the Yu Ying students with world-

class education they deserve and should expect.

FACILITIES

Yu Yings campus provides space for a comprehensive

education that focuses on the development of the whole

student. Sitting on three acres of land, the campus features

a 40,000-square foot building that is fully equipped with

an art room, library, playground, multi-purpose room, and

performing arts space. The campus provides a wealth of

opportunities for Yu Yings students and has plenty of room

for learners to grow, explore, and (of course) play!

In building the campus two years ago, Yu Ying refurbished

an existing building from 1902 using renewable materials

and energy efficient renovations wherever possible. In

addition to renovating the 1902 building, Yu Ying opened the

Founders Forest, an outdoor nature center, which pro-

vides exploratory opportunities to nurture students innate

curiosity about the world around them while mastering core

academic concepts related to sustainability and environ-

mentalism.
