Stars Community Summit
Saturday, February 1,
9am-12pm
The Chapel of Lake Avenue Church (393 N. Lake Ave.)
Stars' Community Summit will be a city-wide convening of staff, volunteers and stakeholders around the crisis of closing the achievement gap of the students we serve. Our keynote speaker will be Lybroan James of STEMulate Learning. They have embarked on a mission to promote and develop the love of math as the foundation for student success in the STEM/STEAM fields. Their experience in providing inquiry-based, culturally relevant and life-affirming instruction has helped students and instructors transform a fear of math into a love of the subject, which has recently dramatically increased the standardized test scores of students of color within the Riverside School District. This is sure to be a training relevant to everyone who works with youth and we hope you can make it!
