STEM Education Summit
STEM Education Summit
Through a competitive process, members of the Clarkstown Central School District were invited to participate in the Smithsonian Science Education Center in collaboration with Shell Oil Company held its annual STEM Education Summit in February 2021. This year’s theme “Building a Coalition for Attracting and Retaining a Diverse STEM Teaching Workforce” focused on confronting the underrepresentation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teaching and leadership. During the virtual summit, our team of educators created a plan for attracting or retaining a diverse STEM teaching workforce in the District. There were teams represented from all over the United States and the overall goal of the summit continues to be to attract, hire, and retain 30,000 teachers in the field of STEM from underrepresented groups by 2030.

Book Club: Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi
Book Club: Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi
The first ever book club at CHSN open to faculty, district administration, students, alumni, and parents from both North and South High School! 86 individuals volunteered to participate in continued dialogue around racial identity, bias, and its history.
Stamped is a sweeping overview of racism in the United States throughout the nation's 500+ years of existence. The book is organized chronologically into five main sections. Although each section provides an overview of historical events, the sections also center around the narratives of five "main characters." These individuals include Puritan minister Cotton Mather, President Thomas Jefferson, abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, scholar W.E.B. Du Bois, and anti-prison activist Angela Davis.
