State of Black Learning Conference
State of Black Learning (SBL) is a two-day conference designed for thought leaders, learning stakeholders, and educators across Pittsburgh and the country who teach and support learning through various platforms. The conference uses insightful analysis, commentary, and facilitated dialogue on best practices to help participants critically discuss how systemic inequities in race, gender, and socioeconomic status continue to shape and impact learning for Black children.
Whether considering a child’s home life or integrating a learning strategy to enhance student engagement, it is essential to hone in on the ways in which educators interact with and teach Black students. SBL is strategically designed to increase educator effectiveness and provide the tools necessary to help participants address all the factors that improve student outcomes and help Black children learn.
The generous philanthropic support of parents, grandparents, alumni, friends, faculty and staff allows Urban Academy to thrive. Urban relies on tax-deductible gifts—of all sizes—to provide an exceptional educational experience.
