Core Connections - YVC STAR
In June, STAR leaders delivered a presentation entitled, "Social Equity Through the Eyes of Our Youth" to 40 Berks County teachers during the 2021 annual BCIU Core Connections Education conference. Students discussed their journey with STAR's youth led national movement for positive change, and how this transfers into their interactions in the classroom. Teachers learned about social equity from a youth perspective and engaged in dialogue about how to best help all students.
Check out the participant's takeaways below!

"This session was incredible! Hearing their perspective and initiative in helping to make our schools even better for all kids is truly inspiring and I learned a lot from them."
