 Revitalization ties together the elements of this extraordinary professional development opportunity: Revitalization of YOU - as a person -- as an educator -- as you head in to the new school year
 Nearby Data Project Info Session - Opportunity for MS and HS teachers The Nearby Data Project will support middle and high school teachers in developing and implementing ways for their students to not only understand big data systems, but also to explore how their data is being used and how data is being used to represent them. In addition, this model encourages students to notice, wonder and explore how data is represented on both a macro and micro scale. Rather than taking every data visualization as infallible fact, students will examine the origin of the datasets and seek out more questions than answers about the way the data is represented and the story that it tells. Teachers participating in the Nearby Data Project will receive a stipend along with resources for implementation in their classrooms.

State of Black Learning Conference About: Historically, education has been seen as a ‘one size fits all’ system for students. Research shows this is not the case with Black students. 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 designed to increase educator effectiveness and provide the tools necessary to help participants address all of the factors that improve student outcomes and help Black children learn.
