The STAR School serves students in pre-school through grade 8 who live in the Southwest corner of the Navajo Nation and the surrounding rural area. The STAR Model of Early Math Education is a combination of strategies beginning in preschool that effectively and reliably assure that low-income Native American children enter school at or above grade level, and then continue that success through grade 3.

This webinar will discuss the research behind the STAR 3-to-3rd Project and highlight the training films which show other schools serving rural, low-income students how educators can implement this innovative program.

If you are a rural educator or an aspiring educator, community-based activist, policy analyst, faith-based organization, or education advocate for underserved and rural children, please register for this free webinar. Rural School Innovation Network (RSIN) members and i3 rural priority grantees are especially encouraged to participate.

Doris Terry Williams, Executive Director, Rural School and Community Trust, will provide opening remarks. Presenters will include:

  • Dr. Mark Sorensen, Director/Principal, The STAR School, Flagstaff, AZ
  • Dr. Derek Price, Associate Professor, Wheaton College, Norton, MA
