THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PROGRAMS, EDUCATOR AFFINITY SPACES, AND INSTRUCTIONAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES, BTC SUPPORTED EDUCATORS IN CULTIVATING CULTURALLY GROUNDED TEACHING PRACTICES AND IMPROVING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES FOR BLACK STUDENTS. IN FY2025, BTC ENGAGED 195 EDUCATORS AND EDUCATION LEADERS THROUGH A SERIES OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SESSIONS, AFFINITY GATHERINGS, AND INSTRUCTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. THESE INITIATIVES CREATED AFFIRMING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS WHERE EDUCATORS DEEPENED THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE, EXPLORED CULTURALLY GROUNDED PEDAGOGIES, AND STRENGTHENED THEIR PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY. BTCS I3 PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SERIES PROVIDED ONGOING VIRTUAL SESSIONS FOCUSED ON INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE PEDAGOGY, AND EDUCATOR WELL-BEING. PARTICIPANTS CONSISTENTLY REPORTED STRONG ENGAGEMENT AND AFFIRMATION THROUGH POST-SESSION SURVEYS. FOR EXAMPLE, EDUCATORS RATED SESSIONS 4.77 OUT OF 5 FOR OVERALL ENGAGEMENT, 4.92 FOR FEELING HONORED AS A BLACK TEACHER, AND 4.77 FOR INTEREST IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT BTCS PEDAGOGICAL FRAMEWORK. PARTICIPANTS ALSO REPORTED THAT THE SESSIONS HELPED THEM RECOGNIZE THEIR STRENGTHS AS EDUCATORS AND CONSIDER NEW INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACHES FOR SUPPORTING BLACK STUDENTS. BTC ALSO CONVENED AFFINITY SPACE GATHERINGS DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN CONNECTION, REFLECTION, AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH AMONG BLACK EDUCATORS. SURVEY RESPONSES HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERACTIVE AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING FORMATS, INCLUDING PEER DIALOGUE, BREAKOUT DISCUSSIONS, AND SHARED PROBLEM-SOLVING. EDUCATORS CONSISTENTLY EMPHASIZED THAT THESE SPACES SUPPORTED BOTH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND PERSONAL WELL-BEING, REINFORCING THE VALUE OF COMMUNITY-CENTERED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR BLACK TEACHERS. IN ADDITION, BTC CONTINUED THE K3 EARLY LITERACY ACADEMY, A MULTI-YEAR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PROGRAM SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN STRENGTHENING CULTURALLY GROUNDED LITERACY INSTRUCTION. PARTICIPANT SURVEYS SHOWED STRONG OUTCOMES ACROSS KEY MEASURES OF EDUCATOR DEVELOPMENT. EDUCATORS RATED THE ACADEMYS IMPACT ON BLACK TEACHER IDENTITY AT APPROXIMATELY 9.4 OUT OF 10, KNOWLEDGE OF BTCS PEDAGOGICAL FRAMEWORK AT APPROXIMATELY 9.0, AND INSTRUCTIONAL SKILLS ALIGNED TO THE PEDAGOGY AT APPROXIMATELY 9.25. PARTICIPANTS ALSO REPORTED SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE EFFECTS ON EDUCATOR MINDSET AND WELL-BEING, WITH WELL-BEING SCORES AVERAGING 9.62 OUT OF 10. QUALITATIVE FEEDBACK ACROSS PROGRAMS FURTHER REINFORCED THESE RESULTS. EDUCATORS DESCRIBED BTC PROGRAMMING AS BOTH INTELLECTUALLY RIGOROUS AND CULTURALLY AFFIRMING, NOTING THAT THE EXPERIENCES HELPED THEM IMPLEMENT CULTURALLY RELEVANT CURRICULUM MATERIALS, DESIGN MORE STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, AND MORE INTENTIONALLY CONNECT THEIR TEACHING TO THE CULTURAL AND INTELLECTUAL TRADITIONS OF BLACK COMMUNITIES. THROUGH THESE INITIATIVES, BTC CONTINUED BUILDING A GROWING NETWORK OF EDUCATORS COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE, ADVANCING CULTURALLY GROUNDED TEACHING, AND IMPROVING EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR BLACK STUDENTS. 1071871 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 42 0 true 16 true false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false GA X HIEWET SENGHOR 4048639579 2170 BOULEVARD GRANADA SW ATLANTA GA 30311 HIEWET SENGHOR PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 X X 197132 0 6913 LATRICIA BARKSDALE BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AIKO BETHEA BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRANDI KENNER BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHAWN DOVE BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TREMAYNE PERRY BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TAMIKA TASBY SECRETARY 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 197132 0 6913 1 false true false 1534690 1534690 0 1534690 0 0 0 204045 204045 690093 226897 325211 137985 91927 44790 34464 12673 67466 32379 25774 9313 1654 1483 171 405103 234863 160240 10000 68973 59336 9637 18579 10660 7919 30070 24260 5810 22724 19183 3541 46731 41437 5294 12828 12251 577 104555 88484 15136 935 30426 25523 4903 6905 6905 7323 184 7139 MEALS AND ENTERTAINMENT 19363 10543 8621 199 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTION 20230 19079 1151 STAFF RELATED EXPENSES 9553 4202 5351 BOOKS AND PERIODICALS 2401 2372 29 5742 2995 2747 1866691 1071871 623715 171105 1563731 1390064 166497 25916 22029 41096 30260 29085 8080 1175 1760337 1458251 40384 80316 40384 80316 X 478340 893128 1241613 484807 1719953 1377935 1760337 1458251 -332001 -10017 0 X false true X true false X 1975148 5597948 1117108 1494125 1534690 11719019 1975148 5597948 1117108 1494125 1534690 11719019 521860 11197159 11719019 0.95550 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 30260 29085 1175 1175 1534690 1534690 1534690 1866691 1866691 1866691 Other Explanation THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE FASB ON ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES AND HAS EVALUATED ITS TAX POSITIONS, EXPIRING STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS, AUDITS, PROPOSED SETTLEMENTS, CHANGES IN TAX LAW AND NEW AUTHORITATIVE RULINGS, AND BELIEVES THAT NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES IS NECESSARY TO COVER ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
