Annual Report 2008-2009
celebrating independence
1
November 2009
Dear Friends:
It has been a wonderful year at Cooke, and
as I look back on all we have accomplished,
I realize we would not be able to fulfill our
mission without the unwavering commitment
of our dedicated faculty and families.
We are so proud of the Cooke teachers and
staff, who could work in any number of other
settings where the compensation may be
higher and the challenges perhaps fewer.
Yet they return year after year because, as
one faculty member put it, “The opportunity
to make a difference in a child’s life is always
present at Cooke.” We are proud of the
families who encourage their children’s greater
independence out in the real world. And we
are immensely proud of our students, who
work hard every single day and support one
another in their struggles and triumphs.
Leading the organization is Cooke’s Board
of Directors, and it is with much gratitude
that we say farewell to Mr. Lon Jacobs, who is
stepping down after six years of extraordinary
commitment to Cooke. In addition to his
governance responsibilities, Lon has worked
tirelessly to help ensure that Cooke’s mission
of independence for persons with disabilities
extends to every child and family in our
programs. His personal generosity and
willingness to reach out on Cooke’s behalf
has been unwavering and we are grateful
to him for his years of service to our mission.
We are pleased to announce that Mr. Kenneth
I. Wirfel has agreed to step up and serve as
Cooke’s Board Chair. Mr. Wirfel and his wife,
June Eichbaum, are members of the group
of Cooke founding parents. Their daughter,
Mikhaila, was a student in our very first class,
and Ken has been an active member of the
Board of Directors since 1990. We are indeed
fortunate to have an individual of Ken’s talent
and dedication leading Cooke through our
next phase of development.
Of course, none of what we do is possible
without the support of the extended Cooke
family. Whether you are a parent, teacher,
donor, volunteer, student, or friend, you are
part of this family and we are enormously
grateful for your continued interest and support.
With our heartfelt thanks,
Michael Termini, PsyDPresident

We provide educational programsthat integrate academics,social skills and daily living skills.
INDEPENDENCE COMES
FROM THE CONFIDENCE
OUR STUDENTS
DEVELOP WITH EACH
NEW SUCCESS IN THE
CLASSROOM, IN
BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS,
AT HOME, AND IN THE
COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
“Our goal is to help students recognize that everything theyare learning in theclassroom will have a meaningful application in life.”
Francis TaboneAssistant Head
Cooke Center Academy
“Integrating all of theskills our students aredeveloping —academic,social and daily living—is our ultimate goal,” saysVirginia Trainor, a speechand language therapist whohelped to develop the cur-
riculum at the Cooke Center Academy. “We choose specific themes, andthen apply those themes to classes and activities throughout the trimester.”
For a theme on restaurants, for example, students created a mock restaurant and went grocery shopping for food. “They wrote up a menu in English class and studied nutrition in Science while learning to makehealthy choices,” says Ms. Trainor. “Math lessons included money management and figuring out the cost of items. Students studying othercountries in Social Studies visited restaurants that served cuisines fromthese countries.”
For Cooke students, academic lessons
extend well beyond the classroom.
Students use their math skills in the
grocery store, develop tools for daily
living on the bus or subway, and
strengthen their social skills while
planning an extracurricular event.
Cooke teachers, paraprofessionals,
therapists and counselors work together
as a team to put together a plan for
each student that builds on his or her
strengths as a springboard for learning
and increased independence. We work
with our school partners to develop
meaningful inclusion opportunities
that will benefit Cooke students as
well as their general education peers.
Our community partners provide
service learning and internship
opportunities that strengthen students’
identities as independent citizens.

“One thing Cooke instillsin its faculty from thevery beginning is thatkids don’t come here on their own—theyhave a family with themthat is part of the entireeducational process.”
Katherine LanceCooke Head Teacher
Katherine Lance, a CookeHead Teacher, is a firm believer in the home-schoolconnection. “We work until 3 pm each day to make surechildren are acquiring newskills. In the evenings and on weekends, it’s the
families that reinforce the learning at home and at social events.”
Parents are no less important to the process as children become adolescents and then adults. “We help parents understand how they can encourage their daughter to save money, for instance, or how they can work with her on making smart food choices. We can help their son find a great internship, but they will be the ones who work with himon making sure that his tie matches his shirt as he dresses for work.”
Even before a student is accepted into
a Cooke program, Cooke is there for
the student’s family. From taking them
through the complex special education
process to determining, together,
whether Cooke is an appropriate fit,
Cooke staff members are available to
answer questions and provide support.
Once a child is enrolled, the partnership
continues. In addition to events such
as back-to-school nights, parent
association meetings, and events in
the classroom, ongoing communication
and joint goal-setting ensure that
teachers and families or guardians
are working together towards
students’ independence.

OR WORKPLACE.
“Cooke has helped my son develop asense of confidencethat just naturallymakes him more independent.”
Leslie JeffriesCooke parent
Liam Jeffries has been with Cooke since he was a preschooler, when a Cooke special educationteacher worked with him in a general education classroom. Having Liam in a typical preschool class-
room was important to his family. “I thought his capabilities were vast,and we wanted him to be able to model typically developing behavior,”said his mother, Leslie Jeffries.
Liam went on to Kindergarten and elementary classes at the Cooke Center School. When his teachers realized he was skilled in math, theysuggested he take it in a general education classroom in the partnerschool. “He always had a teacher with him who could supporthim,” his mother said. “He flourished, and it became a real source of pride for him.”
This year, Liam is starting full inclusion where he will learn in a generaleducation fifth grade classroom at Cooke’s partner school, Corpus Christi.
Cooke aims to have students learn
in the least restrictive, most inclusive
setting possible, so that they are
comfortable working alongside their
peers. Cooke’s preschool, lower and
middle school classrooms are co-located
in general education schools, where
our students find many opportunities
to practice their social skills at school-
wide events and in individual classes.
Through off-site learning, students use
the community as their classroom.
At the Cooke Center Academy high
school, internships and community
service opportunities prepare students
for the workforce with placements in
New York City offices, restaurants,
museums, and other exciting venues
that match their interests.

“Eighty six percent of the 4th and 8th gradersin my school passed the NY State ELA Exam, an impressive increasefrom last year’s scores,when 70% of 4th and58% of 8th graderspassed. We attributethis increase in testscores to the efforts ofour Cooke Center literacyconsultant. Thanks tothe Cooke Center fortheir excellent work!”
Anne Marie McGoldrickPrincipal, St. James School
The Cooke Center Instituteoffers consultation and train-ing to educators and parentsin the broader community.Driven by its mission to support inclusive educationalprograms for all students—those with and without
special needs—the Institute provides literacy, math and special education consultancies to more than three dozen inner-cityparochial schools, charter schools and Head Start programs.
The Institute is now spreading Cooke’s expertise beyond the five boroughs of New York City. Presenters offered workshops last year at national educational conferences in cities including Anaheim, New Orleans,Charleston, S.C., and Phoenix.
Our ultimate goal for staff is to create
a dynamic professional culture, give
rich opportunities for professional
growth, and then to share what we
know with others.
Beyond being part of this lively learning
community, Cooke supports faculty
in updating their certifications. New
teachers work with mentors, and there
is specialized training in certain areas
of the Cooke curriculum. Many Cooke
teachers present at workshops and
conferences, and publish professional
articles. A monthly Applied Research
Group trains faculty to conduct
outcomes research in their classrooms.
IN COOKE’S
COLLABORATIVE
WORK ENVIRONMENT,
EVERY EMPLOYEE IS
SEEN AS A LIFELONG
LEARNER.

There certainly is no place like Cooke! This year’s Wizard of Oz-themed Spring Gala brought Cooke $800,000 closer to its $10 million Road to Independencefundraising goal. With all proceeds supporting the Campaign, the Spring Gala—held at Cipriani 42nd Street on April 27th—pushed the campaign total to over $9 million!
Lon Jacobs, Senior Executive Vice President and Group General Counsel ofNews Corporation, received the Founders’Award for his tireless efforts in heading theRoad to Independence Campaign, and hisleadership in all of Cooke’s endeavors.
Receiving the Road to IndependenceAward was NASDAQ OMX, which hasbeen tremendously supportive of Cooke’stechnology efforts and its programming forolder teens.“The innovation and creativitythat defines Cooke is seen every day inmany ways, both big and small,” said Bruce Aust, Executive Vice President for NASDAQ’s Corporate Client Group.
Fox 5’s Ernie Anastos and Dari Alexanderhosted the event, which included a video sneak-peek of Cooke’s very first high schoolproduction: The Wizard of Oz.
Cooke is grateful to all of its generoussupporters for this extraordinarily successful event.
At a June 1 ceremony at the Cooke Center Academy,Cooke officially inaugurated the Moody’s FoundationTransition Office. We did this to recognize the Found-ation’s generous, long-time support for the Transition to Life program. The Moody’s Foundation has made it possible for Cooke to hire the social workers and other staff needed to develop this unique program, and the curriculum that supports it.
CCA students were on hand at the naming ceremonyto share their stories about the corporate internships andvolunteer placements that have been made as a result ofthe Transition program. In addition to hosting staff fromboth the Foundation and Moody’s Corporation, Cookewas delighted to welcome Lisa Westlake (pictured to theright), our newest board member and Moody’s ChiefHuman Resources Officer, to take part in the ceremony.
The New Friends of Cooke Summer Soirée drew 400guests to the Tribeca Rooftop in June, where revelers enjoyed delicious food and cocktails while catching up with friends. The inaugural event raised $35,000 for the Road to Independence Campaign.
“Our friends had a great time, and they were really interested in learning more about Cooke,” said CharlesMiller, son of Cooke board member Roger Miller andbrother of Nicky Miller, one of Cooke’s first studentswho passed away two years ago.
Charles and his brother Ian founded New Friends of Cooke just after Nicky’s passing, when the group ran a 5K race to benefit Cooke in Nicky’s memory. Hoping to build on the momentum from the race, Cooke launched the Summer Soirée to bring togetheryoung supporters for an annual event.
Corporate sponsors included Hogan & Hartson LLP, Moody’s Corporation , Greenberg Traurig LLP, Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman LLP, Bryan Cave LLP, Gilt Groupe and News Corporation.
