Bright Spots: Schools & Organizations Cultivating Black Youth Excellence in Los Angeles Webinar

Despite the pronounced structural disadvantages affecting Black students, many of which have been exacerbated by pandemic-impacted educational and structural conditions, schools and community organizations in Los Angeles continue to foster the success of Black students. These ‘bright spots’ have an established history of facilitating academic success for the Black students they serve and their strategies are illuminative for both practitioners and scholars working to create broader equity within educational systems.

Join CTS, the Los Angeles County of Education, staff and educators from organizations identified as 'bright spots' for a briefing of our NEW report and a panel discussion about replicable practices for meeting the needs of Black students.
