SBL is a 3-day conference which gathers thought leaders, learning stakeholders, and educators who teach through various platforms. Our aim is to use 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. At the conclusion of the conference, it is our hope that all participants will be charged to constantly seek and implement proven and innovative solutions that take action against the systemic inequalities facing black students.
