ANNUAL REPORTJanuary 2014–December 2015

TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY

2

3

The National Urban Technology Center (Urban Tech) is a not-for-profit educational corporation founded in 1995 to provide underrepresented communities with access to information technology, striving to close the digital divide between the information “haves” and “have-nots.” It exists to ensure that low-income communities and urban youth and adults have access to the technology resources they need for long-term employability and economic growth. Urban Tech’s comprehensive strategy for under-served populations targets social-emotional learning, academic performance and workforce preparation. Since the mid-90s, Urban Tech has worked to equip underserved youth and adults with modern technology training for success. Our dedication to leveling the playing field for high-needs communities and urban youth has been the focus of our non-profit organization.

Overview

4

Today, technology has expanded into every facet of our lives. Home computers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones are ever-present assistants which service our daily needs. In education, the impact of technology has offered the promise of opportunity by facilitating the path to learning and the development of skills that can open doors to employment and career advancement. Educational methods have been transformed by the introduction of technology into learning institutions. However, we still confront the challenge of ensuring its assimilation in every level of study so that learning is intensified in order to enrich the academic experience. Teachers now have the capacity to excite and facilitate academic study by using technology

Letter From the Presidenttools that connect their students to the new global society. The process of education is now animated beyond the linear dimension of textbooks into a virtual experience that presents information in an immediate and approachable manner which educators can integrate into students’ lives. We have journeyed beyond the crossroads where technology and education meet, where we now confront the challenge to make sure our 20-year mission stays strong and grows. Urban Tech wants to ensure that the digital gap in low-income communities and under-resourced schools keep pace with our fast-changing digital world. Mobile platforms along with community-based computer centers are the focus of making sure that these communities won’t slip through the cracks and fall behind. Urban Tech remains at the forefront of harnessing the power of technology in order to create exceptional new initiatives, which keep the needs of underserved children at the matrix of the educational process. As the borders of traditional classroom settings have expanded due to laptop and mobile applications, Urban Tech has been an innovator of skills-building digital programs that target learning through social and emotional learning (SEL). This year, as a component of our legacy YLA learning program, we have seamlessly integrated the module to include an important updated program on the crucial topic of Bullying Prevention—a major concern in schools across the nation.

Our successful formulas engage students and encourage their enthusiasm and creativity by providing them with the skills they need to prevail in the uphill battle for academic achievement. Such programs have been the access point which can impact dropout rates among youth previously discouraged by the educational system. The following pages of our Annual Report offer a view into how our mission has evolved between 2014 and 2015. It will show the value of Urban Tech’s programs for students, teachers, families and the community at large. We at Urban Tech rely on your generous support in developing a strong future generation that will further our nation’s economic standing in a global society. Our purpose is clear: to cultivate strong partnerships which are absolutely vital to our ability to serve these students and transform them into productive members of society. It is our hope that the information in this report will highlight the population Urban Tech serves as well as underscore our dedication in turning their potential into achievement. We want to express our sincere gratitude for your commitment to our organization. Your devotion to the programs and services we provide help to enable our mission.

The young people we serve face extraordinary challenges every day in life and in school. There are social challenges. There are technological cha l lenges. Students are surrounded by technology, and in fact are becoming more adept at using it, at younger ages

than their parents. When they get to school, the technology vanishes. Teachers experience the same technology gap: lack of reliable Internet service; not enough PCs for all their students; outdated, ineffective textbooks and chalkboards. Student interest is diminished. Engaging students—key to driving their interest and performance—is further hindered by the technology gap. Beyond the technology gap is the life experience and social skills gap: students need to have a better understanding of themselves and how they relate to the world if they are to have a chance at performing well academically. Life and social skills are a prerequisite to building strong academic skills and technology skills. In this highly mobile, globally connected society, it’s a reality that young Americans will have more jobs and more careers in their lifetimes than their parents. To prepare students for that world we must change what and how we teach.

I am honored to Chair the National Urban Technology Center, an organization that has been at the forefront of these issues for twenty years. Urban Tech is a proven leader in recognizing that students need fundamental life and social skills education using technology and technology-based resources in order to achieve academically. We strive to provide best-in-breed programs that help them do just that. As I reflect on these past two years, I am reminded of the strides that Urban Tech has made to integrate a wider and more flexible set of learning resources. Educators—including teachers, parents and mentors inside and outside the classroom—all benefit from Urban Tech’s high standards for content, training and coaching. And we’re not standing still. This year we’re working on new and exciting ways of engaging and teaching students using the newest tablet computing platforms—all in service of our mission to equip young learners with the essential skills they need in order to compete with their peers in the global economy. As I end my tenure as Board Chair, I sincerely thank you for your continued support of Urban Tech. Your contributions and thought leadership have given us the means to promote a model of learning powered by technology and to advance a learning approach that is motivational and meaningful.

DAVID PERLINBoard Chair

“ When I took the Urban Tech class, I learned that learning is to expand your mind and to grow as a person. I learned persistence and how to meet difficult challenges. Urban Tech helped me to grow as a person. Since experiencing the Urban Tech courses and learning from their great team, I have gone from fair grades to always being on the honor roll.”

Urban Tech has geared up to face the challenges of tomorrow with the creation of innovative new programs and expanded marketing and partnership opportunities. We have significantly ramped up our development and fundraising initiatives, with strategic plans to expand our domestic operations as well as plans to tap into international markets. In late 2015, Urban Tech became an official partner with UNESCO, enabling it to participate in numerous educational opportunities and partnerships. Partnering with the United Nations was the first step toward pioneering a new frontier. Over the next 3 years and as part of its long-range planning, Urban Tech will be marketing digital literacy products and professional development programs to English-speaking countries in need of digital technology training. The power of technology can significantly transform the lives of those being left behind. Urban Tech continues to level the playing field by providing high-needs communities with effective learning modules, educational workshops and professional development programs that teach social and emotional learning and digital and financial literacy.

In addition, Urban Tech provides academic support and dropout prevention services. Urban Tech knows that having technology skills can mean the difference between employability and joblessness. We imagine an empowered future of long-term career and life success for underserved youth and adults through access to the technology and technology solutions that will enhance educational achievement and economic security.

A Vision of the Future

9

Under the Urban Tech umbrella is a multiplex of signature programs that use poven curricula, popular culture and social media to engage students and enhance learning. Our Youth Leadership Academy® (YLA), the Financial Education Network (FEN) and Cyber Camp programs allow schools and after-school programs to connect and effectively teach students online. Our Community Schools Initiative (CSI) merges academics with dropout prevention strategies, service supports and extended learning opportunities that boosts student performance, strengthens families and leads to healthier communities. Urban Tech designed its digital literacy program for middle schools with a two-fold purpose: putting 21st century digital technology skills in the classroom and increasing the current technology proficiency of primarily Black and Latino students. This program also helped students to become better equipped with college and career readiness skills for the 21st century.

Innovation

10

The Urban Tech challenge is to deliver the technology solutions and resources to high-needs students and communities that are essential in a digital world. We are committed to helping urban youth and adults keep up with the fast-changing global society by attaching our technology initiatives to the growing dominance of the Mobile wave. Mobile applications will allow Urban Tech to reach beyond classrooms by offering a subscription-based model that delivers a broad range of products and services. More technology innovation means greater access to an underserved community and further empowers our students for success.

Expansion

11

Powered by technology, Urban Tech is helping to reshape the learning experience. We provide cutting-edge curricula that nurture leadership, critical thinking, problem solving, social and emotional learning, pro-social behaviors, team building, creativity, healthy habits, digital literacy and financial literacy. We help to develop and nurture those life and competiveness skills necessary for success in a 21st century, global economy. To ensure that our programs are implemented with the highest quality of instruction, Urban Tech works in partnership with schools, afterschool programs, community-based organizations, faith-based institutions and youth development centers. About 90% of Urban Tech’s clients are Black and Latino; their families’ per capita income is at or slightly above the poverty level.

In January 2014 – December 2015, Urban Tech reached even greater milestones, helping students, educators, families and communities achieve their goals: • Served 11,300 students through:

–the Youth Leadership Academy® (YLA) which was implemented in 22 NYC Schools across 11 Community School Districts; and in 57 schools and afterschool programs in 27 states and Singapore, Asia.–the Financial Education Network (FEN) piloted in 7 community based organizations (CBOs) in 5 states. –the VITA Financial Empowerment Program, implemented in Orange County, New York.

• Developed and launched the Executive Principal Leadership Institute (EPLI), a prototype for closing the achievement gap through advanced principal leadership training and breakthrough technology.

• Launched the Community Schools Initiative (CSI) for providing comprehensive Attendance Improvement and Dropout Prevention (AIDP) services and selected by the United Way of New York City and the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) as a preferred CSI provider.

• Expanded its Digital Literacy Program to include a “Filmmaking and Video Production Intensive” for middle school students. The program, successfully piloted in the summer 2015, was designed with the following learning goals:–To learn the terminology and process of video production and filmmaking. –To develop collaborative skills by working in teams.–To learn how to use a variety of tools to create and edit digital video and films. –To develop an appreciation for video production and filmmaking as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) area of study. –To learn the importance of and how to use 21st century technology to tell impactful stories.

• Developed a new research-based Bullying Prevention Program in compliance with the state’s Dignity for All Students Act (DASA).

• Refined YLA to conform to a standards-based, English and language arts curriculum.

• Successfully designed, developed and piloted the Urban Tech Financial Education Network (FEN), an online learning portal for providing comprehensive, online financial education and training utilizing Wells Fargo’s Hands on Banking® curriculum and Urban Tech’s Youth Leadership Academy® “Budgets

and Banking” curriculum. The pilot was borne out of the documented urgent, critical need for improved financial education in the United States. The pilot was enormously successful. In collaboration with seven exemplary community partners, we achieved the following results: –Nearly 2,000 youth, young adults and seniors received online financial education and coaching and attained certification. –Through the FEN, participants were excited by the opportunity for a self-paced, self-driven educational experience accessed at their own convenience. –The FEN utilized social media and “Meet-Ups” to encourage and motivate student collaboration and learning. Based on survey responses, this was a favorite program feature.

• Selected by the Yonkers (New York) Public Schools and the Black United Fund of New York (BUFNY) to implement a digital literacy program for middle school students to study coding, video production, and robotics and to develop an understanding of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) careers and requirements.

INNOVATING IN WAYS TO TRANSFORM LIVES

THROUGH THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY

The digital revolution is transforming the world, stimulating huge social and economic advances. However, 60% of the world’s population remains digitally excluded. Urban Tech has worked to generate long-term digital inclusion, where individuals and communities understand how to use technology to bring about positive transformation in their lives. Urban Tech addresses these issues through its flagship programs designed to teach students, parents, families and communities to develop skills needed to compete in a digital world.

YOUTH LEADERSHIP ACADEMY®Urban Tech is reshaping the learning experience for students through The Youth Leadership Academy® (YLA) Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program. YLA is a technology-rich e-learning platform and curriculum that helps students build the essential skills aligned with 21st century college and career standards. The program objectives are to: 1) promote literacy, health, financial and technology education, 2) develop career goals and workforce readiness, 3) build self-esteem, leadership, teamwork and civic engagement skills, and 4) enhance teacher confidence in technology as a powerful learning/teaching tool. The YLA curriculum uses multiple modes of learning, both instructor-led and self-paced. It is designed using a mix of group activities to inspire teamwork, animation, contemporary music and games, relevant exercises that provide real-life experiences, e-journaling and access to an online resource library. YLA draws students into a highly stimulating digital world that motivates them to improve self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making through simulation and role-playing activities. They are constantly encouraged to think about and examine consequences and ultimately learn to become accountable for the actions and make pro-social decisions. Recent highlights for YLA include:

• In partnership with SUNY Binghamton engineering, education and social work departments, deigned

and tested the full conversion of the flash version of the YLA Conflict Resolution curriculum to HTML5 for operation on iPhone and iPad.

• The YLA conflict resolution “Write to the Point” E-journal exercise was converted to a mobile app. The app is in the beta testing phase.

• Added the YLA curriculum to 59 schools and afterschool programs in 27 states.

• Validated impressive progress in social and academic competencies through independent evaluations:

• – 72.8% increase in attendance• – 59 % increase in reading scores• – 40% increase in math scores.

• 69% of instructors reported that YLA influenced their students to be more confident as learners and positively influenced students’ physical and emotional well-being.

• 90% of instructors indicated YLA curriculum enhanced students’ ability to understand and manage emotions, establish positive relationships, solve everyday problems, make responsible decisions and handle difficult situations.

• 87% of instructors indicated that Urban Tech’s professional development led to new pedagogical strategies and practices.

• 100% of participating instructors reported a substantial improvement in school culture and the degree to which students began to feel accepted, valued and respected.
