As we reflect on our Year-End Celebration held in June, we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge and express our deep gratitude to our amazing counselors and staff dedicated to postsecondary readiness for their steadfast commitment to our students.

From guiding students through college applications and career exploration to providing encouragement during challenges and celebrating every milestone along the way, counselors play a vital role in helping students navigate their futures with confidence. 🎉

Urban Assembly was proud to attend the New York State Association for College Admission Counseling (NYSACAC) Conference and join educators, counselors, and college access professionals from across the state in conversations about expanding opportunities for students. 💫

From sharing best practices to exploring innovative approaches to college and career readiness, the conference provided valuable opportunities to learn, collaborate, and strengthen our collective commitment to supporting students on their postsecondary journeys. 💡

Thank you to NYSACAC for bringing together professionals dedicated to helping students achieve their goals and navigate their futures with confidence!

🗞️Last week, The Urban Assembly partnered with UC Berkeley's Center for Research on Expanding Educational Opportunity (CREEO) to host "AI as an Equity Lever for Teaching Quality and Student Growth" in Berkeley, CA.

Educators today are navigating unprecedented demands, and together we explored how AI can be used ethically and responsibly to strengthen teaching, expand educator capacity, and improve student outcomes.

The conversation featured Project CAFE, our AI-powered instructional coaching platform, which provides teachers with real-time feedback on classroom practice to support continuous improvement, especially in high-need schools and districts.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this important conversation about the future of teaching and learning!

This school year, the students at the Urban Assembly School for Design and Construction truly outdid themselves. Innovation, teamwork, and critical problem-solving were on full display at their flagship event: The Iron Design Challenge! 🛠️📐

This exciting event showcased students' creativity, determination, and technical skills as they tackled real-world challenges and put their learning into practice.

Beyond the competition, the Iron Challenge provided students with valuable opportunities to collaborate, think critically, and build the confidence needed for success in college, careers, and beyond. Congratulations to all of the students, educators, and organizers who made this event such a success! 👏🏆

🏆✨ This year, The Urban Assembly celebrated the inaugural UA Awards! ✨🏆

This special evening recognized the school leaders, partners, public servants, and supporters who power our mission of advancing students' social and economic mobility by improving public education. ❤️📚

The night served as a reminder that this work isn't done alone. It happens because of the incredible partnerships that bring together diverse perspectives, expertise, and resources to create greater opportunities for students than any one organization could achieve on its own. 🤝

We were especially honored to welcome our founder, Richard Kahan, whose vision launched The Urban Assembly nearly 30 years ago. His impact can be seen not only in the schools he helped create, but in the educators, leaders, and communities who continue that work every day. 🌟

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating our award recipients and the remarkable community that makes this work possible. 🎉
